My ex gave the kids up. They have being living with me for over two and a half yrs without her paying child support now she wants full custody. What are her chances?
See the film "Kramer vs Kramer." Although the account is fictionalized things haven't changed that much since the movie was made. Your strong suit is that you have been the custodial parent for 2 and 1/2 years and done a good job of it. What possible reason might exist for a change?
It looks as though you have a very good chance at maintaining full custody. The court will look at what is in the best interest of the children in determining any custody arrangement for the future.
You should definitely look into establishing child support for your children.
Please feel free to contact me directly if you wish to discuss the matter further or wish to seek representation on this matter.
