Ex-wife wants children back.
I am a single father of 3 boys. My ex wife and I divorced three years ago at which time we had a 60/40 split in visitation where she was the primary care giver. One year ago my ex-wife was having a difficult time with the boys and wasn't meeting her responsibilities to them. She signed the boys over to me and for the past year we have had a 70/30 split with me being the primary care giver. I have met my obligations to my children and they are cared for. This is reflected in their schooling and all aspects of their lives. My ex-wife married again in June of this year and has failed to pay child support for 6 months. When I told her she needed to meet her obligations to the boys she told me she couldn't and that she was filing for bankruptcy. I decided to report her to Child Support Services. I gave her a courtesy call and let her know she had been reported and two days later she file a motion for an Order to Show Cause. Now she wants the boys back and she is arguing that I am a single father with no support here in California. Now she is saying my job is too demanding (Police Officer) and that she is unemployed and married and can be a stay at home mom. Meanwhile I have a nanny who watches the boys while I'm at work. My situation has not changed since she signed the boys over last year. I was single then and I am single now. I had a nanny then and I have the same nanny now. I was a cop then and I am a cop now. The only thing that has changed is she got married, filed for bankruptcy and is out of a job. Can this be defended? What are her odds? Will I keep my kids? Sorry for the long post but the situation is a mess. Thanks in advance for your responses.:)
