Custody Issues / What Do I Need To Do
Jul 10, 2016, 10:24:56 PM
My ex and I have been divorced less than six months. He has already remarried. When we got the initial divorce we agreed on joint custody. We agreed on our holidays. our court orders aren't specific they just say we have to alternate. When I divorced my ex made me feel guilty, He made me feel so guilty I didnt try for alimony or anything. I was a stay at home mom and have no schooling.

When we divorced I was in college. Because I have no skills and cannot get a job making enough money to support myself I moved in with family while I finish school. My kids are living with him for the next year. We agreed when I finish school our kids could chose where they wanted to live. Since he got remarried things have changed dramatically.

He no longer speaks to me on the phone, only via email. except when he dropped the kids off with me for the summer, I asked if the kids were still able to chose where they wanted to live when I moved back home, the first thing he asked me was "Are you planning on taking me to court for child support?" I said no, because If I had said yes, what would have happened?

Today I emailed him about concerns about our kids. He kept replying with, thank you for notifying US, as in he and his new wife. Now Im afraid when I move back home he wont let my kids have a choice. If I take him to court to move my kids in with me Im afraid that the judge wont see that I was in school bettering my situation so I could afford to take care of my kids and just give him custody because they will have lived alone with him and his new family for a year.

Does anyone have any advice on how I can prepare myself to try and get my kids back? I dont actually want child support or anything. I just want my kids. Oh and both of my kids are teenagers.
