[quote=Anonymous]I would think this would be an easy judgment based on facts but I know husband will torture me throughout the process and I can't stand to think I would owe him money in a divorce or not see my kids every day.

1) we have a prenup. He declined legal counsel at the time bc he didn't want to pay for a lawyer and signed it.  I read somewhere that this would invalidate the prenup, screwing me (not to mention thousands I spent in legal fees to prepare it)

2) I worked part time after having both children, now 5 and 2.  He could rarely keep a job and I ended up thousands in debt and eating through any savings I had. I pay for EVERYTHING... house, car, all insurance, tuitions, utilities, food, clothes you name it. No real record of all the thousands in cash I've given him throughout 7 years, but all other paper statements in my name.

3) husband arrested once on domestic violence, completed probation now up for expungement. I know- should've divorced then but didn't "because of the kids".  State picked up the charge against him bc he wouldn't give me the kids when I tried to leave.  Failed drug test when arrested.

4) addict. i kick him out every time he drinks... doesn't stop him. Now gambles. Bc he doesn't even have a credit card or checking account I don't have receipts.  I literally have stopped going to any social engagements in the evening bc I know he will binge anytime I'm out.  It's like living with a bad teen.

I'm trying to return to full time work bc cannot afford $2000/mo childcare. We work somewhat well on scheduling so kids are covered though this will change in divorce.

would this be enough for full custody or more than 50???  If not I just have to continue living this miserable life I've created for myself.

He's also a total con artist and I feel can smooth talk a judge in his favor. Yes I've lost my shit and threw a phone at him, locked him out of house, and yelled while my kids were present. Not happy about it but by no stretch an unfit mom/incapable of full custody.

Lawyers--- what do you think?
