I get when they are older if they want to come live with me that is fine, but now that they are young they should be raised by mom.
Why should they be raised by mom because they are young? They are boys that NEED their father!! Don't you want to be a good male role model for them??

Even if I ended up with custody of them I would end up living in a 2 bedroom place with my boys. I cannot afford to put them in that situation.
You think she is going to be able to find something better? Besides, it's not about the size of your house. It's about taking care of your family.

I cannot in good conscious put a 2 year old in a car to take a 9 hour round trip every other weekend so I will just have to go see my boys or have her drop them off in Michigan once a month and take them on occasional long weekends and holidays.
It is too risky to spend 40 to 50K for this D. It will wipe us out.
You're OK with seeing your boys only once a month??
You don't have to spend so much money on lawyers, you can represent yourself. At the same time, how can you put a price on your children? I don't think you should back down, but only you can decide what's best for you and your family. She can only take them to Toronto with your permission. Otherwise, it's kidnapping. You don't have to let her control what happens with your family.

Maybe if she sees that the boys will miss their dad she may reconsider things.
She's not going to see that. She's going to do whatever she wants because you're letting her be in charge.
