Well that's a quick update. I shoot my wife a message to let her know about the payments and the conversation turns towards her having the kids. I fear things could get ugly now. I can't afford to move to where she is until I have a job and can support myself. I am not prepared to just hand the kids over, even though the elder two are not biologically mine they're still my kids and I'm still their Dad. I also can't afford a legal fight and I have never had any thought my wife would go down that path until now. I really do not like her attitude at the moment and our relationship will suffer so much more damage if she starts using the kids as pawns.
