Good job keeping records. I hope it goes well.
In the court that I do work with here in California, the judge will perceive your action as an attempt to lower child support or harass the mother, depending on what side of the bed he woke up on.
Don't be alarmed, this is just my opinion.
Are you Pro Se or do you counsel?
Sometimes you can overcome the stupidity of the judge simply by having counsel when the other party does not.
The other problem is that here in California, the Courts tend to see the mother as the Primary Caretaker regardless of the amount of time you spend with the children. This effectively shields the mother from repercussions when she doesn't really want the children around that much.
In CA, you still must prove her somehow unfit before they will change custody.
However, you have the burden of change of circumstances, which you have already met.
I hope I'm wrong, Please let me know how it turns out.
