well today is the day. I get to go to court again and fight my ex for custody of my childeren. I have been divorced for 6 years with custody, now my ex wants my girls just so she can collect child support. for years she hasnt been around and all oof the sudden its time for her to have them, like this is a tag game or something. I would feel different if there was ever any interest shown in them before, it would have been nice to have help with stuff like potty training and ather stuff. oh well it's off to court i go.

wow, that has to be tough on you and the kids. my heart really go's out to you. hopefully the court see's that she has failed to be in their lives and keeps them in your home. if it were here that is usually what happens, but usually they would allow the other parent some type of visitation. I would hope they wouldn't take them from their home where they have been and feel comfortable and secure. I am divorced and have 2 children by my ex, right now he isn't in their lives because he is serving a prison sentence, so that is what is saving us from having to deal with him now. I just pray when he does get out that he leaves us alone. and also that the court doesn't allow him any visitation. it's sad when a child doesn't have both parents in their lives but sometimes that can be better for them.

Hi there. It must be terrible for your kids to be parted from you since it seems that you've always been there for your girls. I hope that the court will see and let you stay with your girls. Goodluck.
