I must agree with you both to some degree. What I first posted was rather vague. My Ex and I have been seperated for more then 2 1/2 years. I have tried everything to be kind and friendly to this woman. My children have seen men come and go out of her life. She is a cronic drinker. She takes empty soda bottles and pours her beer in it when the kids are around so they don't know its beer. She finally met someone and he is no better then she is. He has threatened me a few times already. What else.... in fact my oldest son has been late twice to school already. The weeks that she has my children she does'nt spend any time with them on the weekends. She use to call and harrass my fiance on a daily basis. We have over 6 or so tapes of all the calls she has left us in the past 2 years. We have filed complaints with the police in two different counties. So. If the devil walks this earth. It may be my Ex wife.

Hi all, my name is Mike and I am looking for advice on changing Rights and Responsibilities for my children. The current situation is not working. My Ex and I have 50/50 Shared rights. We do a 7 day on, 7 day off schedule. The children switch back and forth on Fridays after school. My children are 3, 7 and 11. Its getting real hard on the oldest two being that they are in school and their mother lives in a different state. They go to school in the town that I live in and their mother lives about 20min. away. I would like to change the court order to have them live with me during the week and maybe my Ex having them on the weekends. I feel my children need a home where they can plant  their feet on the ground so they don't always feel like they are on the go. Other then the fact my Ex has caused nothing but problems for me and she does'nt have a record. What could I do to prove that my children would be better off with me? This has been an ongoing battle and the kids are stuck right in the middle. Vermont has some tricky laws. A lot of the people I've talked to say that the courts favor the mother over the father. Is this true? So if anyone can help me out with this it would be great.
Thanks for your time.
Mike
