I haven't contacted a L. I'm waiting for her to make the first legal move. If past is prologue she will. If she does I will counter with a motion for full custody. I was passive in the financials because she threatened to move for full custody if I didn't give her the financials she demanded. Maybe I was foolish but I wasn't going to risk losing any time with my children so I gave her what she wanted. That's behind us now.
I have an appointment with the C she took the kids to last week. She claims she informed me of the she took them to but she didn't. I think she's fishing for/trying to create a reason she should have full custody. She has known the C for over a year. I've never met with her.
I hear what you're saying about watching out for the kids and I have and will. It's tough hearing them tell me things that aren't true but X has told them. I could prove her a liar but I haven't, hoping they will see the truth on their own.
"The answers are within you" (can't remember who). Unfortunately, so is the bullshit.
