[QUOTE] My question is: is there anything I can do to make my ex take the kids. Right now I have no time for myself and I am at my wits end with the kids in a bad mood every weekend. If I have to let them go with them, why can’t I make him take them? I get very little child support and can’t afford them with me all the time. I budgeted for one weekend. They are actually eating me out of house and home.
Your x hasn't taken the boys on the weekends in two years. If he doesn’t want to spend time with them you probably shouldn't send them there. It is a shame the he doesn’t take the time for the children. It sounds to me that what you really need is a break from the kids. Do you have any close friends or family that may be able to keep the boys for a while to give you some “you” time?
