Why waiting is costing Fathers more than the legal fees

You've been told to give it time. Stay calm, don't escalate, be the reasonable one. What nobody explains is that a family court starts from what is already happening. The longer limited contact runs, the more it becomes the baseline the court will protect. That's the status quo principle, and it means waiting is not neutral. It's a decision with consequences of its own.
