According tonews1130.com, Danny Dimm of Lillooet, Canada had just regained custody of his 5 year old son in August. But his happiness couldn't last long enough because he was killed during an accident yesterday while clearing some trees. Danny Dimm, 53, was crushed by a piece of logging equipment and up to this moment, there is no clue on what will happen with his son, according to what Danny Dimm's sister says. Back in August Danny Dimm and his son Timber were reunited after Timber's mom got arrested in Minnesota for abducting the child.  During Danny Dimm's custody battle, Danny Dimm also worked hard as he was seeking funds to help fight his son's autism. As many of you know, custody battles will be a strong subject in my novel. Custody battles can just happen during any time, and sometimes when you least expect them to happen. Even some of the best families have gone through custody battles. It's sad to say, but it's true. If you'd like to know a little more on what kind of custody battle will be touched in my novel, take a look at some of my sneak peeks!

Illinois mom Shannon Wilfong pleaded guilty on Monday on five misdemeanors for hiding her son in crawl space for nearly two years during a custody battle (topic touched in my novel), according to the Huffington Post. But what's even more disturbing about this Shannon Wilfong case is that Shannon Wilfong will only spend two years of probation without more jail time! The boy was found back in 2009, when he was only 6 years old.

Shannon Wilfong was sentenced to:

• $1,500 in fines and 30 days in jail - But the judge already credited her for time served.
• $100 on each of the remaining counts (Total: $400). That's it! These counts were related to unlawful interference with child visitation.

Michael Chekevdia (Shannon Wilfong one time boyfriend) has been granted custody of the little boy, who just turned 9 last week! Read more.

Custody battles are born under many different circumstances, but one of the saddest ones is when the challenging parent threatens his/her partner or spouse with taking the children away from the other parent. A lot of the times these types of custody battles emerge from a split or simply an unwanted break up, because either the challenging parent does not want a divorce or he/she  just can't get over a break up and sometimes because he/she is jealous about your present love life. Another really unfortunate circumstance is when one of the grandparents threatens to do so as well, just because he/she is very protective over their son/daughter (check this example). When custody battles are based on revenge, that's when you ought to know that in many of these cases, the challenging adult is capable of doing anything, because they know that taking a child from you can hurt you the most. Even though there's no law that protects you from custody battles based on revenge because they're so hard to prove, you know how to spot them, especially if you're going through one. As a matter of fact, I really have a lot more to say about custody battles based on revenge when you read my novel. You'll be shocked to know how sometimes innocent parents are trapped in a prison composed of harassment and threats. See everything through the eyes of Elizabeth soon. Feel free to share your story!

Now, going back to Amber Portwood custody battle... So 21 yr. old Teen Mom star  Amber Portwood has just been released from rehab and according to dailymail.co.uk  she had a pretty emotional reunion with her daughter, the rest of her family, and friends. However, Amber Portwood is about to face one of the most provocative custody battles that we have seen this year. Reports from major websites are already speculating that the court won't have a hard time figuring out a settlement for the Amber Portwood custody battle case due to the troubled life of the now infamous Teen Mom star.

Custody battles are never an easy process for parents though! What do you think about  the Amber Portwood custody battle?

This morning I saw a report on the Today  show about a couple that had a really nasty custody battle. But here's what the problem is: The husband decided to make the nasty custody battle public by creating a blog about it on thepsychoexwife.com. The website is down upon court order, but apparently the ex husband had utilized that tool to completely defame his wife. Now, this incident puts everything into question because he does have the right to speak and express himself like anybody else in the country, but apparently the way in which he did it, by directly criticizing his ex wife on a blog, caused problems in court. There are other ways in which he could have channelized his emotions, perhaps by creating a blog with general features on nasty custody battles, or maybe by writing a book on a story on  nasty custody battles and somehow using different names, cities in which they lived in, changing some information up a little bit, but at the same time, never  saying it was his own story (within his manuscript),  could have been a better way for him to let go the pressure off his chest. But to create a blog and say: I'm the one going through a nasty custody battle and my ex wife is like this and that and representing yourself as you are the person going through the nasty custody battle, and on top of that criticizing his wife directly can actually raise a lot of concern. Is he appealing to get the website back upWhat do you think about this nasty custody battle situation? Did he go too far? How would you channelize your emotions of a nasty custody battle if it was your case? By the way, the topic: custody battles is just one of the many other topics that we will be able to read on:  Life is Like a Box of Chocolates: An Inspirational Novel. Stay tuned!
