[quote=Anonymous]To everyone who is posting and denigrating the OP for hesitating to help her sister, you clearly do not have a sibling like the OP's.  OP could give her sister $10k and it would likely change nothing.  I will not give my sister a dollar because I know no matter how much money I give, my sister won't change and her life will stay exactly the same.  Also, to those of you who are posting and saying, "Don't you want your sister to have custody?"  Unless there is some proof of unfitness or unless the parties agree to something different, custody is going to be 50/50.  By unfitness I mean abuse of the children that is verified, drug abuse that leaves the children uncared for to the degree that government agencies must care for the children, etc.  Not he feeds them food they don't like for dinner because he thinks it is healthy.  Not he takes them to the train museum instead of the pool because he thinks it is educational.  Not he makes them take a shower instead of a bath because a shower is more convenient for him.  Not he lets them watch TV all day because he is tired and wants to sleep.  Her husband may be a jerk, but being a jerk is not a bar to being a parent.  If he wants 50/50 custody, he will get it.  If she expresses that she wants to have her children with her, she will have them 50% of the time.  [/quote]
