joint custody of the children to a request for sole custody of the children to be awarded to her, which is what she did on Wednesday.
What state are you in? I'd like to know what that sole custody means, legally before you build up your anxiety over it.
In my state, there is legal and physical custody, legal joint custody is pretty much the norm, and physical custody is where the difference is.
My stbxw will likely be the 'custodial' physical parent, but I have rights and that is not about taking my d9 away from me, it's just where she will spend most of her weekly time, at stbxw for school, etc.
There is little chance of me getting 50/50 physical custody, and that sucks, but that is NOT the end of the world.
Try and keep that anxiety away from you as best you can, or it will influence your decision making along the way.
Sending thoughts your way.
