Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania
Proof of bad parenting
Currently my custody case for my two children is in Pa. My ex and myself both recieved joint custody. I am going back to modify this as we speak. He is agreeing now to let me have to kids 6 day out of the week instead of the original 4. This is due to the fact that he wants to get a new job and go to trade school. Here is my problem. I want to keep my mouth shut and just let him agree to everything because....basically, I do not want to rock the boat! If he agrees to it then that is great. But my problem is that he truly is a selfish man and does not truly take care of the boys properly! There are days that they come home after 3 days of visiting their dad and only had one bath, my youngest son stated that he ate a pickle sandwich. Also, my ex put my oldest sons underware on my youngest son because he never did the laundry. Another things is that school work is not being complete properly anymore!! There are so many things that have to do with their wellbeing that when I go to court I just want to proove that he does not care for them properly. How do I do this? What proof is valid in court? Is this the best thing to do?

Re: Proof of bad parenting
An agreement that is made an order of the court is the way to go. Its cheaper and makes it harder for the parent who gives up time with the children to ask for it back.
As to what is good evidence. One thing you can't do is rely on the testimony of the children. You need to show evidence of what you allege such as report cards show that the children's grades are declining.
