Hi everyone.
Relationship with my wife has broken down. We have 2 young kids (2&1yo) and things seem to be turning a bit messy.
My ex-wife seems to be trying to paint a picture of me being a manipulative and frightening individual (couldn't be further from the truth) and that I am an unfit father simply because I enjoy smoking cannabis every now and again.
I am concerned that with me currently out of our shared home (in both our names) this may go against me should things end up in court.
I would ultimately like to have a 50/50 shared parenting agreement but my ex-wife has made it clear she has no intention of agreeing to anything like this.
Greatful if anyone who has been through similar issues has any advice or tips. I would find this really valuable.
Thanks
Hi,
Are you seeing kids currently? What are the arrangements?
@bill337 thanks. Yes seeing kids every other day at the moment. Kids are living with her in the shared home which we have agreed that we are selling and buying a place each in same town.
She has been somewhat difficult in making arrangements, changing plans last minute, saying weather was too poor for me to pick them up etc
I feel like I should move myself back into the house against her wishes to proctect my interests but I don't want to make things worse. Her parents called the police on me last time I was there because we were having no more than a heated discussion. They advised that they couldn't remove anyone if the house was in both names.
