Congratulations! I have seen this pain myself with my best friend. Long story short, he was working out in the field (sometimes he would be out for a month or two at a time) and while he was away she ran off and kidnapped his young daughter. He returned to an empty house as she had sold many things to get money to skip town.
It took a year or two to fight the court systems to gain custody and strip the mother of practically all say in her daughters life. She didn't have the money or the will to even show up in court. Fast forward a couple years to the present date. My friend is remarried to a wonderful lady who has adopted the daughter so should anything happen to him his wife would gain custody. Also...not one penny of child support ordered to be paid has been received.
Seeing him go through those times was very trying and tiring. I know how you must feel right now. I hope that Ice Cream tasted real good! *holds up his spoon* since I am eating some ice cream right now....this bite's for you!
