Re: Custody

If your point is that she is negligent with the care of the children so she could pursue the adultery, and if you can prove it, you may have leverage in a custody case - you have to prove actual harm to the children. To obtain custody from her you must be qualified, compent and available. Speak to a good domestic lawyer for assistance.

good luck
