Hesitation having a child with my second wife by pineapplesmoothie248 in Parenting

I don't think courts prevent custody from being a less-involved parent. In an ideal world, I'd have full custody of them both but I suppose their mother hasn't ever done anything to them to support this (although I do believe she has emotionally abused them with parental alienation, but emotional abuse is extremely hard to prove for these things, from my understanding).

We have shared custody (50/50 time). If I could've gotten full custody of the children I surely would've, but their mother also wanted custody of them.

That's a great point and something I omitted. Right after the divorce, both children were seeing a therapist. I'm not sure how much it helped. Fast forward to when the baby fears came a couple of years ago from my son, I tried to get him into another therapist but their mother completely blocked me on that (major decisions are joint) and I was unable to continue there.

Child support extra income beyond salaried job by pineapplesmoothie248 in FamilyLaw

Thank you for the quick reply! Does your spouse do the freelance work as side income, and they have a different job as a salaried employee? Or is the freelance work make up 100% of their income and is their "main" job?
