I am sitting here reading your thread and I have tears in my eyes because it is just so sad.
When I see how much effort you are putting into your children and trying to co-parent with your STBX it makes me feel sick to my stomach.
My own Father walked out on my Mother when I was 6, and when my Mother pulled these types of stunts with him he chose to walk away and not fight her. He felt this was so much easier and even though I am now an adult, I wish my Dad had fought for me.
When my Husband walked out on my family, he didn't even look back for 2 1/2 years. He had no desire whatsoever to be a part of their lives, regardless of what he thought about me. He missed out on so much and will never be able to make up for the years he lost.
I wish more Fathers were like you, I truly do.
FIB, I wish I had an answer for you and I wish I knew the Law a bit better.
All I can offer you are cyber hugs and prayers.
I only live 4 hours away from you, and there are a few others here that live even closer. I have no problem getting in my car and being there if you need me, and I am sure many others feel the same way.
((((((((((hugs)))))))))))
There can be no testimony without a test. I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.
