Joe- I don't remember, but have you been working with a GOOD lawyer?

Listen- the D can overshadow your parenting at times in your emotions, because you haven't lost your children, and you have lost your W...but if you don't take swift, immediate, aggressive, bold, decisive, and assertive action you will regret it forever.

I'm not sure if you can stop her from leaving the state with your kids, but I'd have to be assured by 3 top paternal lawyers that there was nothing you could do to stop that in its tracks before I'd even consider accepting that reality. Even if I had to wage a court war, fight for full custody, and work a ton of hours to cover it all, move in with family, whatever...I just can't see allowing that to happen.

So- what are your rights? Are you ready to do battle for your children if needed?
