Dissolution and Sole Custody
A disabled father was a stay-at-home dad, caring for his children. One day, his daughter came across a number of letters addressed to her mother. The young daughter showed the letters to the father. They were sexually explicit and included fantasies of the author and the girl's mother moving to a commune. It turned out these letters were written by a man while in prison. Subsequent investigation revealed that the man was known to the father. The man was a convicted rapist, out on parole, who was about to return to prison due to a parole violation. The father suspected his wife was having an affair with the man since they spent much time together. As the man was scheduled to return to prison, he used the mother's car to leave the state. The man was eventually captured and arrested in Montana. The court granted full and sole custody to the father.
