X demands full custody because I'm now engaged

[sleeper]

Thanks Deb and all.

I had a very brief discussion with kids tonight as they are going back to X tomorrow to start her week. I felt this was necessary due to the confusion they experienced last week when X told them they would be staying with her even though they came to me two days late.

I took advice provided here and explained X and I had agreed to a 50/50 split of time with them, that it was in writing and signed by their mother, me and a judge and it would take another signature by a judge to change that (I had considered showing them the custody agreement but decided that might be too much for them). I informed them there were agreements about property and children during a divorce and our time together was my primary concern because they are the most important thing in the world to me. I'm sure DD understood as she asked years ago why X got the house, the business and "the best car." DS then asked if we were going back to court to which I replied, "Not to my knowledge, I have received no notice so far." I closed by telling them it was an adult matter.

I think this helped them because I learned they weren't sure when they would be coming back before our discussion and I informed them we would be continuing our regular schedudle. DD even commented later she wasn't going to worry about it and instead she would let the adults figure it out.
