My wife and i have been married for 18 years. before my wife and i started dating, my 4 yr old and her 4 yr old played after church every sunday together before everyone went home. thats what brought us together. when we married in 199, while she was 20 and i was 30, we had a good 3 yr honeymoon period. we had our disagreements but no slander nor put downs at family get togethers. about 8 yrs into the marriage, she started putting me down, belittling me in front of the kids. undermining my instruction to the kids in relations to tv, internet, bedtime, etc. it got so bad, in 2008 i started recording the conversations when we got in big arguements. i felt like i deserved to be put down, belittled, etc., so i didnt really take up for myself. in 2012 i started doing video recordings of arguments. i have 2 seperate videos of 2 seperate times in less than 6 months where i barricaded the bedroom door and she busted in... one time of her beating a 3" x 30" hole in door to get to door knob and coming in. i have a video of her coming after me with a knife, and another time of her locking me in the bedroom (false imprisonment in 2012) and as i yelled her telling me our girls cant hear me cause she has their radio turned up and a towel in front of bottom of door so they couldnt hear. i had to bust down the door to get out. except for the FALSE IMPRISONMENT of 2012, the rest was in past 6 months plus she sucker punched me 6 weeks ago (which i blocked from my face) for popping my daughter on her butt for the first time in OVER 12 months... (1) even though she has done nothing to the kids as far as hurting them, do i have a good chance of getting custody, or atleast joint custody, because of her temper? (2) also, with her getting a job now making $40,000+ a year thanks to me asking my dad to pay for 2 more years of her college, can i get allimony for the psychological and emotional abuse she put me thru?? i have LOTS of audio and video evidence of these things happening for the past 6 moths mostly and back to 2012 of videos and 2009 of audios...
