I have been separated from my husband for over 4 years there has been unfaithfulness and domestic violence from both sides, I have long learned that I cant use the excuse I was fighting back because it wasnt ok for me to do what I did. There has been a few times that we have tried to reconcile. It didnt work. I ended up with permanent physical and legal custody after a almost 3 yr battle with the division of child and family services in which I ended up relequishing rights to my daughter who's biological father left me pregnant I could not physically and emotionally care for her and my boys. M boys have special needs. I have moved on to bigger and better things now. My "husband" helps with phone bill and anything outside of child support needs. I have a boyfriend(I know that it is not the thing I should be ). My "husband" wants to over turn the court order of perm custody to me that was ordered by the juvinile judge over the dcfs case. I am not wanting to do so as he doesnt seem to have learned as to why the judge felt it neccessary to award me custody and him just visitation. I want this divorce done it has been 4 yrs since it was filed it was put on hold due to the dcfs case. Now that dcfs is done he wants to change the custody I am afraid that if I allow him to pewtion for custody that I will lose my kids permanently. My attorney got sick and had to resign what can I do? I am at a loss I want to be free from feeling like I have to answer ti him. I am waiting till marriage for anything( i know about all the stuff about marriage and divorce and remarriage in the bible). I just need advice and support, thanks:hug::wave::D

Hmm... tough case. I would suggest getting a new lawyer first. As for the custody battle, its going to be a tough seemingly never ending battle. I just hope and pray that everything will work out for the both of you and your kids.

Hi mamawolf,
Sorry that your in that tough a situation. I don't have any answers.

Do you know what his motive is? What he pictures the final outcome is? In another post you said he was seeing the boys now. If its just legal issues, why is he concern about that?
