My biggest mistake was drafting an agreement with my X. Even though I did not sign it, that is what is being held against me. I have a track record of being a great father with supporting documentation and declarations. My X brought nothing to the table, except the unsigned agreement. Now I find myself having to go thru a custody evaluation to regain custody of my children.
Wait, can you explain to me how what you draft came back to nip you in the behind? You asked to keep your children in the state, right? How did the pendulum swing in favor of your wife who (a) did not sign the agreement in the first place, and (b) did not bring anything else to the table?
In terms of the custody evaluation, I hope it never comes to that because I really don't have any money to screw around with in the first place. I'm a foreigner who has a hard time applying for a loan. 52k? Heaven forbid!
