  DGC 053 – What to Do When Your Ex Violates the Court Order

  Aug 30, 202618 minS3

  In this episode of the Daddy Got Custody Podcast , Fred Campos, @FullCustodyDad and 27-year custody veteran, explains what fathers should do when their Ex refuses to follow the court order. Fred breaks down how dads can protect themselves when parenting time is denied, exchanges are repeatedly delayed, important school or medical information is withheld, or other parts of the order are ignored. He explains why retaliation is usually a mistake, why calm communication matters, and how strong documentation can turn repeated violations into a clear pattern the court can actually understand. You'll also learn why fathers should keep following their own part of the order, when it may be time to involve an attorney, and why enforcement should be about restoring compliance — not getting revenge. Most importantly, this episode is about staying disciplined when the other parent is not. Don't respond to a court-order violation by creating one of your own.

  DGC 052 – How Fathers Accidentally Damage Their Own Custody Case

  Aug 23, 202620 minS3

  In this episode of the Daddy Got Custody Podcast , Fred Campos, a 27-year custody veteran, talks about one of the biggest threats to a Father's custody case: himself . Good Dads sometimes damage otherwise strong custody cases through a series of small, preventable mistakes — angry texts, missed parenting time, arguments during exchanges, talking to the kids about the case, ignoring court orders, poor documentation, social media drama, and assuming their attorney will take care of everything. Fred explains how one mistake may not destroy a custody case, but repeated behavior can create a pattern that opposing counsel can use to tell a damaging story about who you are as a parent. You'll learn why every text should be written as though a judge might someday read it, why you should consistently use the parenting time you already have, why custody exchanges should be boring, and why your children should never become messengers, witnesses, investigators, or emotional support during the fight. Most importantly, this episode is about recognizing that every decision you make during a custody battle is helping build one of two stories: a pattern of instability and conflict, or a pattern of calm, consistency, involvement, and responsible fatherhood. If you're a Dad fighting for custody, remember one simple rule: Don't make the other side's case for them.

  DGC 051 - Interview with Chel Cartmill, Author of "Spider on My Neck"

  Aug 16, 202637 minS3

  In this episode of the Daddy Got Custody Podcast , I sit down with Chel Cartmill, Next Chapter Transition Specialist and author of Spider on My Neck , for an honest conversation about the emotional side of divorce, custody, grief, and rebuilding your life after everything changes. Chel explains why divorce can feel like a kind of death, how parents can continue showing up for their children while they are emotionally exhausted, and how to recognize the difference between normal grief and something deeper. We also talk about the overuse of labels like "narcissist," what emotional abuse can really look like, and why healing after divorce is not always a straight line. In the final part of the conversation, Chel shares the story behind her new book, Spider on My Neck , and how her own experiences with divorce, loss, fear, healing, and starting over shaped the message she hopes to give others. If you are a parent going through divorce, fighting for custody, grieving the loss of the family life you expected, or simply trying to figure out what comes next, this conversation is a reminder that the legal battle is only one part of the journey. Custody cases may be fought in courtrooms, but a lot of the real battle happens inside your own head and heart. Please contact Chel Cartmill at https://www.chelcartmill.com/

  DGC 049 - What Fathers Should Never Say in Court

  Jul 3, 202617 minS3

  Fred Campos, @FullCustodyDad and 23-year custody consultant, explains why the words fathers choose in family court can have a lasting impact on their custody case. In this episode, Fred breaks down some of the most common courtroom phrases that can damage a father's credibility—even when they're true—and explains why judges listen for far more than just the facts. They are evaluating attitude, maturity, judgment, self-control, and whether a parent demonstrates a healthy co-parenting mindset. Fred walks through the statements fathers should never make in court, including phrases like "She's crazy," "I deserve custody," "My child wants to live with me," and "I did nothing wrong." He explains why these emotional or exaggerated statements often backfire and offers stronger, child-focused alternatives that present fathers as calm, credible, and prepared. Throughout the episode, he emphasizes the importance of replacing accusations with evidence, emotion with strategy, and self-focused language with a clear commitment to the child's best interests. If you're preparing for a custody case or simply want to avoid costly courtroom mistakes, this episode will help you understand how to communicate in a way that strengthens your credibility and keeps the focus where it belongs—on your child.
