My oldest son has pictures of a recent outing to a friends pond. The 7 year old twins are on a rafter in the middle of the pond with no life jackets. He has often taken them on overnights without taking their inhalers and the epi pen. He under dresses them often but thats about all I can think...

Thank you very much. I feel vindicated as I have told them over and over to tell the truth. I was beginning to think I was wrong as he does not hold to that view.

Thank you. It seems like every time the older three come home from an overnight with their father they want to live with him. Then they spend a few nights with me and their position changes. Will this matter to my lawyer?

The children are 3, 6, 6, 8, 11, 14, 16. The problem is he wants to keep the kids when I am at work but our work schedules overlap a couple of hours so I have to arrange childcare. He wants that kids from 2 until midnight and then keep them overnight. The 3 year old is still nursing but he...

He makes much more than I do. I have been a stay at home mom and home school teacher for the past 12 years.

My husband and I are just beginning divorce proceedings. I obtained an order removing him from the house and giving me exclusive use with the children. He will not agree to any parenting agreement. He says he is to have custody of the kids when I am at work and I am to have custody when he is at...
