Had to get emergency custody of the kids!

I feel your pain, going through issues with my ex over my oldest son,12 years old. He just doesn't want to spend time with me anymore, trying counseling but she gives little support and says I should back down and let him stay with her all the time. The kid just beaks my heart, I can't spoil him the way her new boy toy can, child support is killing me and he is all about the 'stuff', she's unemployed and he doesn't get that the stuff comes from me.

I feel for your brother, i have spent the last 7 plus years trying to keep my kids as far away from this crap as possible. Regardless of the fact that we have 50% custody, and the each of us is responsible to pay half of all medical, dental,optical,education, etc. She still takes me back to court every 2 years and tries to take my visitation away and get child support. We have very similar incomes and she now want me to have him my 50% plus pay her 20%, I guess it is more expensive to raise him at her has than it is at Mine. I told my attorney I would gladly take residential custody, allow her her continued 50% visitation and not ask for a dime above what we already have agreed to. The court systems are coming around to believing that men can be as good of a parent. We just recieved a financial affidavit from my ex where she lied on her income. She actually has it listed that she makes less now that she did when we got divorced 7 years ago. I guess she does not realize the pay stubs wont lie for her.
