Thanks...

I do have an appointment. I do want to keep them together and prepare to offer a reduced flat rate of child support if she does not fight it, 15% for all four.  But don't think she will consider.  Just trying to gauge the chances, don't want to start a war if not much of a chance.

It is joint custody with standard possesion. When one of us have possession, all 4 boys are together.  My 15 yr old believes it is not a good situation and has been there when she puts me down to them. Says that whatever the new boyfriend says, goes... But no indication of abuse.

 I read that in Texas it was at age 12. My 11 yr old will be 12 in March. My 10 yr old has been ready since i moved out of the house.  

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I was divorced Dec 05 after a lengthy process. 4 boys involved, older son elected to live my. My 3 boys have approached me that they want to live with me. Ages, 13, 11, 10.  Why?
My ex has been in to relationships since divorce, 1st before divorce final. In both cases, she allows the boyfriend to move into the house with them. I do not think is a good situation. She only new the 2nd one for about a month and he moved in. They discuss moving away, out of county, but within state.  The boys were stressed.  Then they broke up. She was an emotional mess and did confide in that the 1st did beat her up and she call police. I do not think boys were aware. The 2nd break was over distrust. Again, she confided that.  After about 2-3 weeks, he moved back in again.  I have dated some, but the boys have never met any of them, my kids are my priority right now.

Can someone advise me on possible chances and my approach.
