Hi guys,
My ex-wife left our 3-year-old twin children 1 year and 8 months ago. The first 3 months they lived with me 7 nights, then 4 nights and for the the past year now, 5 nights a week. They live with my fiancée and her 7-year-old step who we are primary carers as well. She has been there from day one and has help raise and love my kids like her own. We do not receive any child support from my ex and both work full time to support all 3 kids. They go to pre-kindy two days a week, only for the past 5 months and other days are at home with us.
My ex for the past year has picked them up on Thursday and drops them off on Saturday at my house. I recently stared mediation as I wanted to change the schedule as kids are going to kindy next year and as I have moved houses, and that is when the whole problem started. I changed to her having them Friday after school till Sunday evening as we want to have the kids during school nights to make sure their schooling is not interrupted. She did not like to this and filled for a recovery order to and take the kids 5 nights.
I do not want my kids to be dragged through this ordeal and stress them. It's best for them to have a routine and as hard, as it was, decided for them to stay at their mum's until court next month. I find it so hard very day to cope as I miss them so so much and have no seen or spoken to them for a month now.
Their grandma is very upset and suffering from depression. Please any help guys?
