Sorry, I should forgot to answer all of you questions.

I have lived about 3 miles from where they have lived.  I also have to start therapy with my oldest, don't know when that will start.  I don't know if therapy is good or bad?

She got the one weekend back last week at the settlement meeting.  I also lost an hour, I was dropping them off at 8pm now it's down to 7pm on Sunday's.

Trial is set for May.

I had everyweekend, this allowed the girls weekend time with their mother and her side of the family.

They presented a letter from the school stating that since I have entered the girls lives, there school grades have dropped.

I've done a good job of keeping things between us difficult, I lawyered up and had her served without discussing it with her.  I think that put her over the top.  Since, we have a court ordered parenting plan and then we had a settlement meeting where I lost one of the weekends out of the month.

I would like to get 50/50 custody, don't know if I have a chance though.  I understand for 5 years I haven't been involved with school, doctors, etc, etc.  Plus I owe 17,000$ in child support.  Don't know if I could get that with my past?

I walked out on my wife and two girls five years ago, complete with divorce.  My ex has full custody and is the custodial parent.  Last year I came back and my ex started giving me weekends, slowly at first and now it is a given.

My question is; since I have returned  and set a standard visitation schedule, is that enough for custody modification?

Ex and I are still not on good terms, so any change will have to go through the legal system.  What are my chances?
