Hi all
I am a 33 father of 2 boys 9 and 5. I have been married for 5 years. the last 3 year have been separated. She finally went for the divorce. And would only give me every other weekend with them. I have been given her money. I have seen them through out the time on weekends and during the week i pick them up from school and help with there little league and stuff like that we live close to each other that i can be in there lives some what on a constant basis. but now that this marriage is really not going to work I am trying to be the best father to my boys and only getting them every other weekend will not work towards that goal.
My goal after this is 50% physical and decision making. I believe i have a good case for this. I live only 3 miles from there school. I live in a 2brd house, so they will have there own room and since I am self employed i can set the time to spend with them on my 2 weeks of the month and work my ass off the other 2 weeks.
I was thinking we can work something out between my x and me but doesn't look like it and now she has a lawyer.
I really cant afford a lawyer. I was really hoping there was something i can do myself. So if you have any advice let me read it
thanks
Jose
