Without providing the details of the situation I feel there is little that can be added to this post. As Narkissos said, why did she leave? How?

Yep - agree there is always more than one side to the story... Sounds like what my ex did when I left. He even called Bethel to speak to the GB!!! Funny how he (my ex, not the OP) never mentioned the abuse, screaming profanities, gambling, porn addiction, etc etc that I had endured for years. I, too, was sheltered by an elder and his family, and I am forever grateful to them.
It's very possible the guy is a complete innocent but these are MY red flags: notice how many "I's" there - very self-concerned - no introspection into what would have driven a JW woman to leave her marriage (in and of itself a trauma, but doing it within the JWs=crazy scary), the invocation of the fact that "his prayers are being answered" - my ex could have written this SAME email - all about how this trauma was bringing him closer to God, etc, and lastly - he wants "to reclaim" his wife??? Because she is his possession? Because it is his right? Wow...talk about tenderly cherishing the wife of your youth (NOT).
*blinks at screen* Wow. Apparently THAT was a little triggering. Sorry. :) But you did say you wanted some thoughts...

Um, and yeah - his wife just left and took the kids but he takes the time to point out the country house is big, beautiful and custom-built? Interesting choice of priority.

I can probably get you in touch with my Father, he helped 11 people win custody from their JW spouses.

Stop nit-picking folks. You can't possibly judge what is going on with so little detail. Many newbies feel safer providing just a little bit of info. They are scared. Provide what support and info you can and then leave it alone.
This isn't the first time someone new has had their post torn apart. Enough already
NOW
Does anyone have a link to the child custody packet?

I think the story said that the wife moved in with the Presiding Overseer, who was the one with the big, beautiful, custom-built house.
