Question: I am typing this after my wife just called me and told me she is filing for divorce. She cheated on me earlier this year. I am trying to forgive her and work on our marriage. She told me she wants a dissolution of marriage and she wants to move our kids from Ohio to Missouri, 8 hours away. She basically wants me to give up my rights to my kids. She said I will have no choice in anything because I am collecting unemployment right now. How can a guy in a tough financial situation begin to fight having his kids taken away from him?

Question: My ex wife has primary physical custody of my 2 children ages 10 and 6 , she states that I have no choice but to deal with the boyfriend dropping off and picking up my kids from my house. I do not agree with this. Do you have any advice as to how I can handle the uncomfortable situation of the new boyfriend further injecting himself into my life and my children's lives?

Question: I just found out my wife wants a divorce after almost 5 years of marriage and nearly 10 years together. We have a 2 1/2 year old son. She claims she started falling out of love me since the day before she found out she was pregnant. I saw no signs of unhappiness in this marriage and this is a shock to not only me but to my parents, her parents, and all of our friends. She has told me that she wants nothing from me, no child support, she wants 50/50 custody, and that she will give me what I have invested in the house and property we own.

She states that she just "wants me to let her go." I am curious about what I should do. This is such a shock to me and now I have to find a way to start my life over at 35 years old with no plan in place.  What do I need to do to go about this in the most effective way? I'm sure you hear this story fairly often, do you have any advice for what I should watch out for?
