Hello,
I assume from your posting that you have physical custody of the children. A judge cannot make the non-custodial parent (the father of your children) spend additional time with the children. If the father wanted to increase parenting time where he was with the children half of the time, the judge would most likely either decrease the amount of child support he was to pay, or stop the child support altogether.
It sounds as though you did not have an attorney. I suggest you consult with an attorney prior to moving forward.
Thank you,
