No doubt, I am slipping into a worse place. I have consulted with an attorney..more than once......they want five grand and they can't tell me I am wrong in terms of my fears of losing the ability to raise my boys.
Their current ages Lucario?

Awesome, they are old enough to be allowed to tell a judge what THEY want, so maybe you could get full custody.

If not that, you'd surely get 50-50.

It cost what it cost, this is an example of an excuse that wont fly. To look at it another way how much torture would you put on your children for the low low price of 5k? How twisted are you willing to let their world view become for 5k? I'm going to guess that you would say there is no amount of money that would make you do something hurtful to your children because you surely love them no less than I love mine. Five grand? That dog wont hunt.

I am just an outsider looking in from a tiny window you have opened Lucario but it does not look good in there. No one knows your children better than you do but I don't need to know them at all to know they are sponges soaking up every bit of hate that lies between you and their mother. Every angry word, every look of disgust, every slight. My heart tells me it is wrong to let that happen to them.

Again, I would urge you to talk to a professional about these things. You should be able to consult for 100 bucks or so. You are not looking for counseling so much as an unbiased look from someone who unlike me has the whole story and the professional training and knowledge to give you sound advice about what the better path may be in order to best serve your children AND yourself.

As to the custody issue no good attorney will ever guarantee a result but your fears seem far in excess of any real world threat that your children will be taken from you. Unless there is something you're not telling us that would be a factor in assessing the custody of the children.....

Last I heard, $5000 is a lot of money. Then there's the problem of trying to live life with a family during an acrimonious divorce. No professional I have talked with has a solution to that.......the only factors in my fear of losing my kids is that I am a man......unfortunately I do not live in the county adjacent to mine where women protested a family court judge whom they said was biased against women.....where I live they're as most courts are- biased against men.

No, 5k is a lot for dinner. To save your children it is nothing. The scumbag lawyers will take the money from the dregs of the dissolution of your marriage if it can be had no where else. Trying to hang your hat on too expensive isn't going to work. As to the acrimonious divorce it appears your marriage is already toxic and as it sits has no end. Life isn't a made for TV weeper where the loving father loses his kids to the evil mother and your fear of this is far in excess of the reality unless the court should have cause.

Put an end to the pity party. Quit making excuses. Do what must be done. I don't have anything else, Good luck.
