Divorce Advice for Men | Fathers Rights Divorce | Child Custody

My divorce was final a year ago. I didn't get an attorney and we just used hers. When they calculated the child support, they did it based on me having my children the minimum (every other weekend). I didn't really care what they put down because I knew my children wouldn't stand for that. During this year, I have had my kids (overnight and all) a minimum of 50% of the time. I have documented everything (I do this on everything, weight, blood pressure, vacation, workouts, I could go back 5 years) on spread sheets. I have also kept every email from my ex, many of which clearly state the plan that we should have the children 50/50. I go get them and take them to school, etc. I do the traveling 100% of the time. If I look at the amount I should be pay (online tables) it's clear I am paying way too much. My question is will this be hard to change? Of course, I will use a lawyer this time. Will the Judge say you can afford it so you can pay it? I make good money, and I re-married and my wife does well also. All I heard during the divorce is this is fair (she gets tons of money I worked hard for). Now I'm wanting to say...This is fair....FYI, she left me for another guy...which went South a long time ago.

A very close friend of mine is currently married, but wants to get divorced. Unfortunately, his wife is pregnant which is making things more difficult. My friend has gone to all of his wife's doctors appointments and done his level best to be supportive despite the fact that their relationship has continued to degrade. A few days ago, they had a horrible arguement and when he said he was unhappy and he was leaving, his wife told him she would move out of state with his child if he did. My friend is terrified and miserable. What legal recourse does he have if they are still married and his pregnant wife moves out of state?

I live in Ohio and have accepted a great job in North Carolina. This would be an increase in pay, promotion, better city, better schools. My ex-wife moved two hours away from her son after our divorce and now lives in another city in Ohio. She is threatening to contest my move as she claims it would not be in the best interest of the child as she would not be able to visit as often and the travel time would be too long. I hammered out a visitation schedule that would allow more time than is currently alloted and suggested that my son fly for his visitations. She has balked on this and has also balked on working through mediation. From the time we separated, I have kept a journal of my ex's visitation and have pages and pages dating back four years of her inconsistent visitations. She has willingly missed his first day of pre-school, kindergarten, and either I or my current wife take him to all medical and dental appointments. She only attended two of his 8 soccer games this fall, made him miss a game so that she could attend a birthday party for her fiance's cousin's birthday and missed his trophy ceremony because she had a massage scheduled. Her lack of interest has been documented up to as late as last weekend when he came home after being with her for only 36 hours with his nose literally skinned, raw and bleeding from where she claims she tried to wipe his nose even though he did not have a cold (I took pictures). She wears her children like an accessory and I have documented many times - more often than not - where my parents have our son more than she does when he is supposed to be visiting with her. I have many witnesses to her neglect from his baby sitter, to family, to school teachers, mutual friends, ex-boyfriends, to co-workers, (hers and mine). With this in mind, can she still prevent me from moving?
