Divorce

You have seen campaign literature and articles in the local news paper. It's no secret that Gary is in the midst of a difficult divorce. One incident has gotten a lot of attention, and political opposition has been exploiting it, ignoring all the other elements of the difficulties within the marriage. The liberal media and Democrats desire to embarrass Republican politicians whenever possible. The courts take a more objective view and attempt to take into account the needs and rights of all parties, especially the best interests of the children.

After hearing the arguments and all the facts of the case, custody of the three young Skoien children was assigned to Gary Skoien.

Statistically it is very unusual for the father to be awarded custody of the children, especially if they are younger.
