Agreed. Those were crazy times. He was evil, but also charismatic enough to woo some impressionable people. Despite some mixed feelings, I do hope she finds a brighter path for the rest of her days.

And then.... as an adult - why are you emailing a 13yo? Is it your child? A student? Some other 13yo? ^^rhetorical questions. Don't answer them here, for your own well-being.

I'm trying to figure out how one attaches material by mistake. Is your lawyer aware you're posting about this on the internet? If you're not satisfied with his answer, it would be better to pay for a second opinion.

Why don't you just move into his place?

I bet they can, but they won't. So pay for an hour's consultation. The form it says tell you that you need a lawyer if either of you own a business. Seems rather clear to me.

And given that you have a 50/50 timeshare, it's unlikely that she won't know - I would expect her to file immediately and request that the judge issue temporary orders to return the children prior to the beginning of the next school year. I wouldn't make any plans to move prior to filing/getting...

ISTM that there would be ways to combat the issue via dress codes. All schools have them.

Not sure Dad's a prize, either. Poor kid.

Agreed - no issue with this.

What matters to your lawyer is somewhat irrelevant. Will it matter to the judge or GAL is debatable. Because they will see that they have a great time with both you and Dad. Apparently their position changes after going home with Dad and spending time with him. It's not a bad thing, necessarily...

One thing I will add to @army judge 's post wrt children choosing... While the court may interview the children, they are also quite wise to language that indicates coaching. That's something you want to avoid at all costs. The only thing parents should "coach" their children on wrt speaking...

I will add - this is likely child support based. He gets overnights, you don't. How do you think child support is calculated?

I'm going to be blunt. A court wouldn't likely accept a 3-month-old nursing as a way to keep Dad from extended time with his child - a 3yo isn't likely to fly at all. At your children's ages? There is really no reason why they can't spend time with Dad while you work, and the two older ones...

Didn't want to quote @army judge 's graphic, but..... I remember my kids coming back from spending time with Dad (maybe 7 & 9yo?) and telling me "Dad said we could decide to live with him when we turn 12." Aaargh. My reply? "Well, it's not actually something you get to decide. But, if that's...

I love gingers...

Okay. When your daughter moved to her Dad's and you "gave away" her room, where did she sleep when she came to stay with you? She has certainly stayed with you over the past three years, yes? At this point, if I were in your shoes, it would be time for a serious sit-down with your daughter...

How old are the children? Have they previously been in daycare? Depending on their ages, you could likely make an argument for daycare to be a wise preparatory method prior to starting school. Do your and your stbx's schedules alternate well enough for his proposal to work? Or is there overlap...

I was trying to explain (politely) why people have an issue. I can tell you that I've been on both sides of identifying posters. It's not pleasant. At least I only had myself to blame when I was on the wrong side....

I think many (myself included) have a problem with third parties blabbing other's business online. If your brother wants to do so? It's up to him. Really not your - or anyone else's - place. JMO. ETA: When I was getting divorced, I worked FT, cared for two young kids, and found time to research...

Gender may also matter. If the conviction is based on a 25yoM/16yoF, a 12yoM may not be a concern....
