My sons wife left him Dec 8th took almost everything in the house and the kids. He works afternoon shift she the midnight shift they would trade the kids from car to car at the shift change. He would have the kids every weekend and everyday that they had off. This arrangement was OK until he had her served with divorce papers (she is living with another man). They live in a rual area he has no family within an hour and a half drive she has family in that area. She brought in her brothers and her mother to watch the kids now and is witholding him from seeing them. Did I say that her brothers are drug addicts and alcholics along with the mother being an alcoholic. They went to a hearing the other day met with the friend of the court they talked with her for 20 minutes and with my son maybe 5. His decision was that he would pay $524 a month and get the kids everyother weekend and everyother holiday. He has been working 7 days a week mandatory. She know if he takes the kids on the weekend he will have on one to watch them when he needs tp go to work. As he has no friends of family in the area. They have a hearing scheduled. Any suggestions?

Missyme, I know you are worried about your son. I am very sorry for his troubles.

Is he looking for advice from you or are you doing this on your own without consulting him? I am always hesitant to get involved in someone's troubles unless that person specifically asks for help himself. He is an adult. It sounds like he is handling this situation. Not knowing the people involved and the complete situation, the best advice we can give is for your son to make sure he finds himself a good divorce lawyer who can help him get what he wants and figure out the best way to handle his situation, for himself and for his children.
