How do I handle this situation. My husband of 16 years walked out six months ago. He moved two houses away. The only time he is at that house is when he has our 2 girls. We started divorce proceedings about a month ago and we are now submitting our financial information to our lawyers. When we first separated and we were doing the every other weekend he hardly had the girls (except for every extended weekend - New :Years, Easter, Memorial Day) because he travels for his job and was too busy for them. Now in the last month and a half, he has requested them more and I have let them go with him. But when we got the divorce papers from him, he said that he has had limited time with them and wants more. Yesterday, he asked if he could have the girls for a week at a time and I said thursday - sunday but he is threatening to talk to his lawyer and get more time.

He moved in 2 houses away to be closer to the girls but is never there unless he has them. Is there anything that I can do to block this request for more time?

I am so mad because everytime I am nice and let him have the girls, he wants more. He says that he did not walk out on them just me. It drives me up a wall that I can't even go outside my house without seeing that house and he is never there unless he has our girls and that is hard knowing that they are just 2 houses away.
