I've been divorced for 3 years. 3 years ago I walked out of my home for 2 weeks leaving my ex-husband and daughter. I was confused, scared, full of guilt for wanting to leave my ex-husband.
When I returned my ex-husband called me into the room and said my 3 1/2 year old daughter said that my 13 year old boy had touched her in her privates. I was just mortified and so sadden to hear that this had happened. My oldest is from my first husband. Anyway I told my son to see a therapist and it was still denied and he said it was not true. I asked my daughter and she actually repeated what my ex=husband said. So I unfortunately sent my son to his dad's for the summer and I proceeded to drink over the situation and blame myself. I told my exhusband I wanted a divorce and he said that I had abandonmed my daughter by leaving and drinking and that he would not let me keep her. He also proceeded to say that he will make sure my son would be brought into court for molesting our daughter. I told him I would never let him do that. It was so painful to not fight for my daughter because I did not want to put my son through court and I felt I needed to protect him because it was bad enough that he was seeing me and my ex get divorced. He's had custody for 3 years and I've had visitation rights. I would like to finally go to court and fight for joint 50/50 custody. I want more than I have right now, which is tues, thurs and every other weekend. I'm also tired of my ex putting me down to my daugther. Example: I want to live with my mommy because she's going to teach me how to be a good mommy when I grow up. My ex's response to her was: Your mom is not a good one to teach you how to be a good mommy. He has always put me down and I would start believing that I was an awful mom just because I'm not the kind of mom he thinks I should be. I love her and I never have abused her and treat her bad. I made bad choices when I left him and he knows my weak points and he pushes my buttons and tells me see your worthless. Is it possible to win 50/50 custody, because he tells me I would never had that. Please help me with advice ASAP. Also I'm raising two children in my home right now and my ex says that I need to pay him more child support for my daughter. I use to pay 300.00 month but had it modified because I just couldn't afford to pay him that much. He wants to take me back to court to pay 300.00 again instead of 150.00 a month. He's getting remarried and I'm happy for him but you when he tells me she's losing her alimony support from her ex and he needs more money. I couldn't believe I was hearing that.

PLEASE GIVE ME ADVICE BEFORE I GO INTO COURT TO REPRESENT MYSELF....

The biggest favor you can do for yourself is get a lawyer and get some very special counseling. how can you pin one kid against the other and not support the one abused?
