How can the judge order me to pay over $900 a month When I am only making minimum wage?

My 2 boys, ages 12 and 17, are in their step sisters wedding, but it is on their dad's weekend. He is refusing to change weekends with me and says the boys are not going to be in the wedding. Is there anything I can do? The wedding is in 5 weeks.

My wife has an antisocial personality disorder. She has abused me tremendously, both physically and verbally. I am trying to fight for custody of my two sons 3 and 5. I am a farm hand working for a farmer. I do spend long hours in the fields. I have tried for years to get her help but she refuses or doesn't admit a problem. She can live in society but not in one place for very long as she lies her way through life. She's had numerous jobs that she has lost over the last 9 years. She hides the bills, the mail, everything she can so I won't find out. She drinks everyday. I being the provider and working all the time, don't have a clue to what all she is doing, but it seems to me and others that I have talked to that she may have been taking drugs. I can't prove any of that, but that's the only explanation I can come up with. How do I get proof? We are separated and she lives 2 hours away from here. I want my boys bad and I would do anything to get custody of them. Her brother and sister in law live in the same town as her where he and she have witnessed a lot of things she has done since we have been separated now for a month and a half. They have done an affidavit for me, and right now we are waiting for an answer from the judge. She has had a previous drug history. I haven't been around drugs, so I just assumed that it was the alcohol. I need answers. My lawyer says nothing to me much. I want to know what to do. If she is bipolar or a sociopath, what's the procedure or way to get her to take a mental evaluation? I've got more questions, but I'll leave it at that. Please help!

My parents took custody of my child about 6 months ago. I am diagnosed with psycho-effective disorder which is now completely controlled through medication. Prior to the custody change I was not medicated and had been hospitalized three times within the year, which was the reason for custody change. During the time that I was not medicated I was also arrested at my child's father's house for trespassing and resisting arrest during a fight pertaining to our child. I was put on probation and got off a year early and am in the process of expunging those records. I know that this information does not look good, but my condition is now completely under control and has been for 6 months. I am a college student and even received all A's on my report card. I currently live with my parents so I can be a part of my son's life. I am dedicated and I care for him everyday. My parents insist that eventually they will sign custody back over to me, but based on past experience I do not trust them. Furthermore they are quite wealthy and have hired an excellent lawyer. I do not want to live forever under my parents' roof. I dream of the day when i can move into my own home to care for my child without the constant chiding and scrutiny of his grandparents. Please let me know what I need to do to make this happen.

My son wants to live with me and my current wife. My ex just sat him down with her mom and aunt and other adult family members and told him that he would NEVER live with me and he would never see his sister again. She's (11), she wants to stay with her mom and that is great, but my boy wants to live with me. She is scaring him to death and I need to know what I can do. Can I request a closed chamber so my son can tell the judge what he wants and none of us will know what is said that way he is safe in his thoughts and feelings? She just keeps threatening him about money and how hurt she is, which is understandable. Right now we have joint custody. I have Sunday to Sunday and she has Sunday to Sunday and each of us has a visit during the week, when the kids are with the other parent. We (me and My wife) are moving, and that is where this has come from. I am relocating with my company, I will be with the same company, in a new position. New town and state, but we are staying on the MO side, whil I work in Ks .
