Seemingly Complicated Child Custody Issues

- my ex-girlfriend and our two children live with a man who is hostile towards me. She has told him I pay no child support, which is a lie, and as a consequence, he is supporting her and our children 100% percent (yes some men are that guillable!). I have several pieces of evidence to prove this is true, since she has forwarded several emails from her 'benefactor' in which he boasts that I 'will never be a father to those children' [my children], and that he indeed supports them and that I don't. She has forwarded those emails to me to taunt me and hurt me, I guess not realizing I might be able use it against her. Also, on three occasions this man has insulted me and threatened with Child Protective Services because she has told them I'm violent.

- Ex knowingly permitted daycare worker to post my 3yr old son on Myspace doing gang signs and 'flipping the bird'.

-ex has dated three diff. men in 9 months, all of which were introduced to my kids. One guy was an ex-con she met online and was meeting up with on weekends in out-of-state motels WITH my children.

would the average judge consider any of this when determining temp/full custody or just wave it off? I have shared custody, but I'm non-residential parents. -Worried Dad

Re: Seemingly Complicated Child Custody Issues

Prior to making a new custody determination, the court must make a determination that the current shared parenting plan is no longer in the best interests of the children. Once that is done, all of the evidence you have mentioned would be useful to show that she is not the proper person to have residential custody of the children. You should do as much research on the boyfriend's as possible, as well as requesting a current printout from Child Support Enforcement showing that you are current in all your obligations.
