This was coming weather I like it or not. I knew it would but now is the worse possible time.
I divorced in 02 and have had my kids full custody ever since. As this economy has worsened so has business for me. Now that I'm down hard my ex is trying to take my kids. She is making great money and has basically bought the oldest 3 with her money. My youngest is staying with me to the ex's objection.
She has spent 15k on a lawyer and I don't have one. It's not pretty.

We had mediation last week and the mediator somewhat sided with me but the ex has vowed to fight the recommendation.
Tuesday we have court. I could use the strength of my brothers thoughts and prayers that day
thanks for listening

The lucky streak I've been on was just emptied and sent your way bro. I pray everything will work out for you and let us know if we can do anything for you!!!

Like I told ya on Friday dude, you've got good character. You'll be fine, just play it cool. This was bound to happen after 7 years of not solidifying anything, it's just had 7 years to fester into something huge and terrible.

It'll be expensive, it'll make ya older, and you may lose quite a few things. In the end, just keep your kids in mind. Don't make them pawns in this, and do what you have to do. You'll come out of this swingin' you hippy. ;)
 
My brother and I grew up through a messy, nasty divorce. I really will say a prayer for you and your kids, best of luck to you.
 
My prayers for your kids to stay close to you brother! They'll always need their daddy. Be there when they do.
 
Best of luck. Like others have said, keep this about your children. There are more things parents have to offer than just money.

X2. It's easy to focus so hard on winning the fight that you end up losing the war.
Good luck and stay focused on what matters the most.
 
I feel your pain, man. I'm still trying to get my divorce finalized, but went to court for custody and support almost 2 years ago. With the money I make, I couldn't afford a place big enough to house my two kids AND pay child support. So - my X has custody. However, the good news is that no custody ruling is permanent. When my situation improves, I can have it reviewed by the courts and (if my ducks are in a row) have it changed. The bottom line is that it's important to do what's best for the kids. If you're on hard times with your business, then maybe the best thing for the kids is to make a custody change until things swing back the other way. I'm not sure what the age is - but at a certain age, children involved in this type of situation can have some say in where they want to live. I don't think custody decisions can be based solely on what the kids want, but they can be a contributing factor in the court's decision. It's all painful, though. I'll keep you in my prayers.
