The kids are doing ok.
I have them 50:50 at the moment.
The ex is trying to have them more (only because she wants more child support) and has lied to the child support agency in Australia.
It's a fun shit fight as they demand payment and clarify later.
It'll all backfire on her eventually.
We tried mediation re custody, but she wouldn't agree to anything less than her having the kids 8 nights a fortnight. (again, only so she can get more child support)
The system here is broken. That extra night a fortnight literally makes the assessment go from $4000pa to $11000pa. It's criminal.
Worse still, I have them half the time, but have to fight to pay the right amount.
She won't take me to court for custody though, because she's taking drugs, hasn't got her life in order and will lose custody.
The kids though don't know the issues around custody. They get time with both parents and are fine. My eldest is 5 and sometimes he gets upset going from one parent to the other, but he's getting there.
The little one is 3 and adapting well.
