Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri

domestic dispute

My ex-husband and I divorced 10 years ago. He has since remarried, and is now on his third marriage. Our current custody status is Physical Joint Custody 50/50. She has three daughters already. I only see my kids every Thursday evening to Saturday afternoons mostly, but now lately one every other weekend. I feel I should get more time, but my ex will not work with me, because he feels it will disrupt their routine. Another issue is that my ex will not let my oldest son of 14 be a kid. Always working him, and pointing out all the bad things, and never acknowledging the good that comes out of him. It's never good enough. My ex and his wife bought a $300,000 home before they married, and have rental property, and five kids living in their house. It's chaios over there, and now when things get heated between my oldest son, and his dad, things get broke, and SHE wants him to come to me for money to pay for half. Not a fair deal. What happens there, is not my problem. I feel it is a very unstable environment in that household, and they cannot handle it.He already told me he has too much on his plate, and all I could say is ''I didn't put it there''. He made his bed. I feel my kids are being emotionally abused and neglected.To do?

Re: domestic dispute

The answer to your question seems obvious enough. If these issues are important enough to you and it would be in the best interest of the children or any of them for the custody arragements to be changed, then you need to hire an attorney and file a Motion to Modify the existing Judgment. From your description of the facts, the other parent might very well consent! If this case is in the greater St. Louis metropolitan area, I might be able to help you. Please feel free to call me at the office, and in any event, good luck!
