I've got a couple of questions regarding my husband's custody of his two daughters, 6 & 8 years old. He feels like he got the short end of the deal in the divorce proceedings when it came to having time with his girls. His lawyer didn't fight very hard for him, and shortly after their divorce, he found out that his lawyer joined her lawyer in a partnership. Couldn't this be considered a conflict of interest?
We recently moved from the Houston area where his daughters live to El Paso for better job opportunities (financially, we were not making ends meet). Because of that, my husband's visitation rights have decreased even more (both according to the divorce decree and because of the distance). He would like to get more time with them, especially since we're living so far apart (he flies back to see them about once a month). What are the chances of him getting more time (he and his ex have joint custody, and the divorce was no fault), so that they almost share them 50/50? Also, is this something we could do through the courts where we live, or do we have to go back to where the children reside?
