I am so tired of all the ups and downs in this custody case. I just got word from my attorney that my ex FINALLY filed all his tax stuff and two weeks after his deadline is providing us with his financial statements. He intends to fight me every step of the way for the kids.
Apparently (the only upswing to all this) his income over the past three years was HUGE. He told me the first year we were split up he made only 40K and that is what he paid support on. They don't have the papers yet, but beleive it was nearly 3 times that amount. I received no money at all the past two years and have paid for absolutely everything for the girls. e may owe me a very large chunk of money.
Obviously he has gotten his hands on some money -- I am guessing his parents - if he can afford to pay an attorney and an accountant. I hate to sound so hopeless but I am starting to feel like I am going to get absolutely screwed. I feel sick at the thought of this. I want custody of my girls and I want to move back home to the States and I just feel them both trickling away, along with all the money I don't have.
The worst that will happen in regard to custody itself is that it will remain status quo- meaning they will live with him one week and me the next. I am not unfit and that is the only way he could take them completely. I guess I better resign myself to living the rest of their childhood up here away from my friends and family. Could be worse.
