Re: custody questions
Children do not have the right to choose. They are children! At age 12 they are allowed to express an opinion, but the Judge is not bound by that opinion. Most Courts will keep the children together.
If your ex was a wonderful person, you would probably still be married. The divorce didn't fix him or her. You should talk to a good family law attorney and after he or she has all the fact see if there is anything he or she thinks you can do at this time.
