I just don't understand what is going on in regards to the kids.

That's true of lonely parents, too. We have a puzzling disconnect. Firemann says he was a very involved parent who made a couple mistakes. His kids' story is that they cry and argue when asked to stay with him, even having only stayed with him 4 nights out of 6 months with their mom walking distance away.
I strongly feel this is a situation that could benefit from professional help. Maybe firemann could explain to them all he knows of why the kids feel this way, if-needed the psychologist could interview the kids, and firemann+psychologist could come up with a path to restoring trust as their father and then 50/50 custody. This would probably also look impressive to his ex-wife and courtrooms.
