I am a LEO candidate so close to being hired I can taste it. I am divorced with 2 children, one of which is 5 yrs. old, and I have residential custody of her with a joint parenting plan. Sparing you the details of the messy separation, I'll say that my ex-husband has done anything and everything he possibly can to "get back at me" for leaving. I informed him of my candidacy, and he immediately threatened to take me to court for custody of our daughter based on the fact that I will be working shifts and requiring a sitter.
Don't get me wrong - I would not be so against this if his intentions were good and true. He is a master manipulator, and so good at saying the right things at the right time it's retarded. If anyone actually paid attention to his actions, they'd see right through him.
So my question is has anyone ever been through a similar situation or know of one? Can you tell me about it? What did the shift worker (LEO or otherwise) have to go through, and what was the outcome? I've racked my brain and come up with 2 options: Resign my candidacy or call his bluff, see it through, and quit later on in the event this actually goes to court. I refuse to lose custody of my daughter, but this is killing me because I want this career so bad. Any insight or other options you can offer is much appreciated.
