NLT, thank you so much for posting and for the offer of late night chatting/venting. I fell asleep after my last post. I'm sorry that you were also having trouble sleeping.
Regarding my state laws, it's absolutely wrong that xh seems to have more rights then me and the boys. I realize that if the tables were turned I, too, would be protected under the same laws.
Here, it diesn't matter what a parent does (barring criminal activity involving the children) their parental rights are protected. Xh doesn't want any parenting responsibility. He doesn't want the kids to live with him saying "you're a great mom. The boys should be with you. I just want to see them." Isn't that covenient? Being a real parent would cramp his lifestyle. He couldn't come and go as he pleases. He would have to provide meals, help with homework, get them to school on time and generally put them first. I have my boys full time and I do put them first. Because of that xh wants to be notified 30 days in advance if I want to take the boys out of the county. My parents live in another county. The beach is in another county. The city near me is in another county. It's absolutely insane. And this is coming from a man who hasn't seen his kids since November.
I desperately want a court order allowing me to move. I need to get away from this craziness.
