I have not spoken to a lawyer yet. There was no need to until now. I can't afford one. I pay all the bills here. I've been screwed by several lawyers in the past. They never seem to do any good except take your money.
Kinda tough to hire a lawyer with no money. Even if I was to hire one and get joint custody, I know how she works. She will do everything to try to get the kids to want to live with her. Saw her starting that kind of stuff tonight. After not worrying about anyone other than herself for the past several months, now tonight she was all about the kids. She did the dishes and gave son a bath. And had D in her room buying her things. She has all these plans to take them to all these fun places this summer. She has some girl she works with sending my D presents. My D doesn't even know this lady. My W has issues.
It is a major pain in the mass having joint custody in different states.
So fighting for your kids is making excuses about how you don't have money and you can't stop your crazy W?
Get a L TODAY. Find out if you can legally prevent your W from taking your children and moving out of state. Execute flawlessly.
These are your kids. They need you but aren't competent enough to know how to get what they need. You darn sure better be.
Excuses about money...if your son needed an emergency medical surgery that cost 3K would you come up with the money? This is about the same priority level.
It's shocking to me that guys would loligag around. Plus, you'll be paying her alimony and/or child support for many years. We're talking tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars on TOP of the right to raise your children.
I don't know if you're hoping she changes her mind or what. I'm mind blown. Not the time to let emotions and finances cloud your action. This is an emergency IMHO.
