Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania
Hello. I am asking for a friend. The situation is that the couple have been married for approximately 13 years with having 2 children...girls age 10 and 12. Nine months ago the wife said she wanted to date again and moved out of the house leaving behind the husband and 2 girls. The husband asked to get back together twice with the wife, but she said no. The husband said to her after nine months of being apart that he is going to then move on. She has started the divorce paperwork process with her lawyer. About a month ago what she was asking from the husband was reasonable, but now that she found out that he met someone she changed her mind and wants half of all of the assets, but none of the bills. The wife recently told the husband that she would pay half of certain things that were purchasd for the girls, but has yet to fulfill her part or give him copies of receipts. The wife placed many calls to the husband each day...sometimes even reaching 12 calls. Leaving messages that she hates him and wants to know what he is doing or sometimes not leaving messages at all.
She is also now asking for primary custody of the girls. Within the nine months that they have been apart the girls spend 3-4 days out the week with the father and the rest with the mother. The girls are being well taken care of by both parents. The father was always the one to pick them up from day care or school and give them dinner as to where the mother usually worked later hours and couldn't do that.
What are your thoughts as to the wife getting permanent/full/primary custody of the girls? The husband definately does not want that to happen. Do you have any suggestions as to what he should make sure he does or information he will need to gather to show that he is just as good or better of a father to his children so that she will not get permanent/full/primary of them?
HELP?? Thank you for your time!

Well if the friend wants his rights defended he needs a lawyer. Why? Because the opposing party has one. Further, he needs to start finding one. Something as important as this is something he should do personally.
If dad has any any questions he should feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
