Re: Time away from the kids
The time away from your children should be considered in regard to how the children relate to you. You did not state the ages of your children when you last saw them and their present age. If the children are young they may not even remember who you are. For their best interests you should have a period of renewing your relationship. As to mother her conduct should weigh heavily against her in any custody decision by the court.
