To keep a long story short, I am in need of finding anyone who has gone thru a similar experience. I am going thru a divorce where my wife wants sole custody. Due to my financial situation, I am most likely going to have to move back home with my Mom, so as to save money for a home in the future. There is plenty of space for our 2 kids to have their own bedroom, etc.in my Mom's house, as well as involvement with other family that live on the same street. (My Mom's house is only 20 minutes away from our current home, my work, their school and our Church.) We agree to keep the kids in the school where they are now, which is literally 5 minutes away from my work. The church we belong to is also 5 minutes away from work. So, on a daily basis I am in this area. My lawyer says we would have a stronger case for 50-50 if i lived near her, but i simply cannot afford it. He is willing to fight either way, but i am unsure. Does the fact that I am going to be able to save money for the future benefit of the kids and myself, that I work 5 min. from their school, and attend church with them 5 min. away a siginificant enough weight to grant me 50-50 custody? I also have 2 yrs worth of documentation of an affair she has been having, which she still denies. I just want to have an idea of how michigan courts tend to rule, and if i have the ability to win 50-50 if I fight this. Can anyone help? |
