remind us... What sort of time did you wind up with the kids? What are your work prospects like moving forward?

Part of the issue is that I ended up with mostly time during the week (partly because initially I was only given supervised time and it was cheaper weekdays, which then followed on to being given weekday time when supervision was taken away). It's better now after 2 years of court where I've been given time which has eventually progressed to full alternate weekends by 2021, but right now I get a 24 hour overnight block every fortnight and 2 weekday blocks. That's been a big impediment to getting full time work and in order to maintain the relationship with the children with the court ordered time being mainly weekdays, I've forgone opportunities.

I should hopefully be able to get back to work now that my time has extended more to the weekends, but obviously covid-19 has put a big spanner in the works as far as employment goes.
