I am a divorced father of two (12 & 7). My ex-wife has custody of them. I see them 1 week during Christmas, 1 week during Spring Break, and 2 months during the summer. When they come down to visit they tell me that their mother doesn't let them play with other children, doesn't make them keep up with their daily hygiene such as bathing and brushing their teeth. The youngest is now going through dental surgery because his teeth are rotting out. The mother took him to 5 dentists and none of them wanted to touch his mouth because of the extent of the decay.
The eldest is getting in trouble in school and getting into fights and doesn't even know that you should not wear socks 2 days in a row. No able minded adult can tell me that my children have a successful future where they are now. I owe back child support so I feel as though I cannot take her to court for custody. Do I have any right to take her to court or must I catch up on child support before something can be done for my sons. What rights do I have as a father. Help me before it is too late to help my children.
