The Question:

“My ex and I share joint legal custody, but every time there’s a decision about school or medical care, he just ignores my emails and then does whatever he wants during his time with the kids.

The Question:

“ I’m getting divorced and my husband is supposed to be filling out the paperwork to make it final.

The Question:

Their dad has visitation every other weekend and some holidays. He’s already telling me there’s no way I can move the kids out of Nevada and that I’ll lose custody if I try.
