Hi I’m a 36year-old man living in Arizona I have been divorced for three years now since 12/12/12 and have 50/50 custody of my two kids . However their mother didn’t want to see them at all for the first year . After that it has only been weekends when it’s convenient for her . For the last three years I have been responsible for 90% of everything from cloths to school,studies ,100%of medical and dental their overall health and wellbeing and all extra circular activities. Without as much as an offer to help me in any way . I love my kids and everything I do for and with them . I have just took my ex wife to court to get the parenting time order modified so it would say the same as what I have been doing all along and she agreed to that in mediation the only thing we didn’t agree to in mediation is I was asking for to weekends a month so I could take my kids to church and camping ….. so we went to court about that . As we where in court she asked to have the kids during school holidays and half the summer . And on top of that told the judge a lot of lies about thing that I never did . Coming from mediation I was not prepared to defend myself at all . The only thing that was supposed to be discussed is the weekends . I feel that this was very unfair for the judge to even let her argue anything that we just agreed to in mediation and signed . I can’t afford a lawyer and legal aid is to backed up to take my case . If anyone can help me with advice on what I can do . Please email me at [email protected] I’m a very worried father do to my ex-wife violent and abusive past with myself and my children! Again my email is [email protected] thank you and God bless
