So, my fellow tattle-turds, here is what I found. I think it can be done because it has been done before, albeit it in a different state, the Commonwealth of Virginia. If IG is willing, he can do it. The problem is IF he is willing and doesn't think that his job is not going to allow him to be there for his kids, or indeed, if he doesn't feel inclined to take care of his kids on his own. For my part, I can see him getting sole custody, moving the kids to Britain (cheap schools, free health insurance, relatively sane relatives) and having them co-raised by his family in Wales. If anything, all influences around them will be much more positive.
As I said, it has been done before. Here is a story for you: there is this dude, John Kiriakou, a former CIA officer, turned whistleblower. He got arrested for exposing the identities of two (I think) CIA officers, which is really illegal. I'm not going into the politics of the whole matter or the legality, or whatever. The thing is that his actions landed him to federal prison, and in the process, he also destroyed his wife's career (she was forced to resign from the CIA), almost lost their family home, all their savings, went into debt because of lawyers' bills, not to mention that he also probably destroyed his five kids' chances of ever landing a federal job, their college aspirations, careers, not to mention all the problems they must have suffered in school.
So his wife leaves him at some point, lands herself a great job with a government contractor because, well, she didn't do anything herself after all, nor was she ever convicted of a crime. Indeed, I don't think anyone ever blamed her for anything, and I doubt she lost her security clearance. Anyway, they got a divorce, she willingly allowed him joint physical and legal custody, and everything was going well until he discovered she married a co-worker, and he accused her of having had an affair with him. He lost it completely and began to harass both of them, even went as far as accusing them of all sorts of things to their employer. He even sent erotic photos of his wife after hacking her computer. Eventually, when his eldest son from a previous marriage got married and didn't invite him, he got upset because he did invite his former stepmother and his half siblings. He then broke a photo frame, left the pieces on her doorstep, whereupon she asked for full custody of the kids and demanded he be examined by a psychologist and go into therapy. He had visitation rights to the kids, but he engaged in parental alienation, demanded loyalty of his kids, which would mean they would have to despise their mother, talked badly about their mother to them, and also developed "an unhealthy level of dependence on his children's loyalty, while the children had taken on a "parentified" role in their relationship with their father." In the subsequent judgment of the psychologist who examined him, the father's actions "had an enormously unhealthy effect on the children's healing from the fallout of their parents' separation."
Even though Kiriakou underwent psychological evaluation, and he improved with therapy, it was the opinion of his psychologist that he hadn't made enough strides, and it would take more time for him to change his mindset. He lost his appeal to the court decision, which is available online here: https://law.justia.com/cases/virginia/court-of-appeals-unpublished/2020/0323-20-4.html
The father's incarceration does not appear to be an issue, and he did subsequently make money by authoring books and other professional activities. It is also somewhat controversial depending on whom you ask, and it was not mentioned in the court documents. However, the mother, based on his erratic behavior, was able to get sole custody which is not going to be taken away from her anytime soon, she got a two-year restraining order, and even forced her ex husband to go to therapy and stay in therapy.
And then of course we have the case of Kelly Rutherford who did not engage in any weird behavior. Her husband could simply not stay in the US and had even been deported which is serious enough. Yet, he was able to get joint custody which he subsequently turned into full custody in Europe. US courts agreed with him and not her.
To sum up then: there are precedents, both in Virginia and California, where it is possible for one parent to get sole custody, and this doesn't necessarily have to be the mother at the expense of the father. Alice Evans is a documented nutcase. She is probably an alcoholic, probably suffers from borderline personality disorder, has never been treated for it, and her longtime abusive behavior is extremely well documented. Bianca Wallace can even potentially sue her for defamation and for causing her health to deteriorate. Alice Evans' behavior is extreme, more extreme than anything I described above. She is clearly unfit to be a mother and has broken several laws. I firmly believe that her husband can and should ask for full custody, including for permission to take the kids out of the country. He has good reasons, and his job, which is not stable, has forced him to work abroad. For AE it would even be easy to travel to the UK, where she should get supervised visitation rights, as she has both British and American citizenships. Last, but not least, it would be to the benefit of everyone if the court forces Alice Evans to undergo therapy and stay in therapy, but she will also have to get a psychiatrist because her condition probably requires to be medicated.
The whole thing is simple really and can be done. It is not easy, I grant you, but it is pretty straightforward. Someone should contain her because she is seriously destroying the children. Ioan Gruffudd's Instagram hacking should be a serious enough reason to completely remove her from the presence of her poor children. I would even argue that Ioan Gruffudd should sue AlcaTone in the UK too, where the laws for defamation are far stricter and could even land him in prison. I have no idea what goes on in New Zealand, but, if they are anything like Britain, IG and BW should take on Loony-Luppy.
