[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kids need counseling. If there is no formal custody agreement, the mom can and should take them. in my experience, the court tries to minimize switching at night during a school week to minimize disruption for the kid. But if mom had the kids in counseling, the therapist could make a recommendation on what's best for the kids too. [/quote] No counselors will see them unless BOTH parents sign the consent form. She has tried several different ones that were recommended by the lawyer. I agree that counselling would be essential. But H doesn't want them in counselling b/c they might say something less than flattering about him. To be totally fair, I do think H will present himself (he has a lawyer too) very well. H is highly educated and comes across as very rational and calm. H has recently taken up volunteering with a teen tech group, and started being the asst coach with the sports teams that the kids are on. Suddenly, H has lots of time for the kids when previously, they were 100% W's responsibility with H having veto/approval power over all decisions (those involving the kids and anything in the house or any $ spent -- to the penny). But, as I said, H will present very well at the future hearing.... although he won't be able to change the past -- but maybe a judge won't care much about the past? I don't know. That's why I'm asking you all! :)[/quote]
