Thanks mel. I can't guarantee that everything will work out in my or my kid's favor, but the fact that I'm going through with standing up to my ex's ridiculous demands of four years ago is something in and of itself. You have no idea. Or....maybe you do. MIGHT TRIGGER He's always threatened if I take him back to court that he'll be the one getting support, or they might even take the kids away from me. Now, I KNOW that's not going to happen. One, he makes more money than me and we have an equal split. He's not going to get my money. Two, even though I spent 72 hours in the county hospital due to a lapse in judgment involving some pills and a cheap bottle of wine, that was before the divorce and he had no problem letting me have 50% custody and placement. He can't use that against me now. He has a DWI, some abuse charges, and some bad judgement that has happened since the divorce, and some other changes in the home situation.

The worst that can happen is placement will stay the same. I'm wanting to make sure some rules are put in place regarding discipline, his drinking and health care, and hopefully get a little child support instead of him now showering the kids with stuff at his house and they have to do without here. Let's even things out a little, shall we?
