Tactical Group Meeting - September 26, 2026

The meeting was a support and strategy session for fathers navigating divorce and custody issues, led by Jude with guest Baruch (B) introducing his 13 Minutes Mission and Men's Peer Groups for post-divorce support. Participants shared their current situations, including Naveen's upcoming court hearing over allegations related to a friend and school choice, Lucas's recent divorce decree and 50-50 custody, Jim's high-conflict separation while still living with his wife, and John Yaj's ongoing CPS and custody challenges. The group discussed the importance of documentation, behavioral timelines, and using third-party evidence like CPS reports to counter allegations in court. There was extensive advice on legal strategy, including the value of temporary orders to set boundaries and reduce conflict, the role of attorneys as position players rather than strategists, and the need for fathers to drive their own case strategy. Jude and others emphasized emotional regulation, restraint, and focusing on factual, documented responses rather than emotional defenses in court. The meeting also covered practical tools like the Slay AI app for organizing evidence and the benefits of building a support team beyond just legal counsel.
