Divorce Advice for Men | Fathers Rights Divorce | Child Custody

Question:

My ex-wife is moving to another state with our children, and we would like to move jurisdiction of our divorce and child custody case to that state since neither of us live in the state where we were divorced.

She is the custodial parent though we technically have joint child custody.

How can I move our case to another state, and what would be the approximate cost of doing so?

Question:

I am worried about my children's living conditions when they are with my ex-wife, and I would like to know if a child custody modification is justified.

I keep a very clean home and provide a stable environment for my children, which they do not receive when staying with my ex-wife.

How can I get my kids' living conditions inspected and have it officially recorded to present as evidence during a possible child custody modification trial?

Question:

My ex-wife is dating a registered sex offender who has recently moved in and is now living with my kids.

We currently have joint custody, but I obviously do not want him anywhere around my children.

Is this grounds for a child custody modification?

Question:

With a possible child custody modification facing me where my daughter would move in with my ex-wife, my financial burden will be too much to handle.

Our property division settlement already has me paying a substantial monthly payment on property we own, and if my child moves out and I have to pay child support then my debt load will be unbearable.

I have read that it is impossible to modify the property settlement. What are other legal options available to me if the child custody modification is approved?

Before filing for a child custody modification, it is important to document in a journal all interactions with your child and any interactions you have with your ex-wife that you feel are indicators the custody arrangement should be changed.

Once you have kept the calendar or journal for some time, this can be used to support your claims that child custody should be modified and your child should live with you.
