STBX did get into saying that I was an absent husband/father and I showed no interest in caring for her or the kids. All I cared about was that we made enough money to pay the bills and didn't worry about her's or the kids emotional needs.
My guess. And only a guess.
The judge will put more weight towards the reality of the last several months over her "memory."
I would suggest, and I think this was brought up before, that this is your emphasis in your response.
Think about what really matters and what does not. Your W left her kids!!!
Who was there for them?
YOU!!!!!
If there is a trump card in this.
That's it.
One thing I want to caution you on. And this is not from anything I have seen yet, just a thought. Don't get so caught up in "the fight" that you lose site of your goal. #1 goal here is what is best for the kids.
Maybe there is a compromise in there that is best for them. Maybe not. I have no idea. Just a thought. Be aware.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
