well i cant go via the lawyer because then it will look like i am trying to avoid the court case and i am pretty sure if it does go there i will come out on top. i last spoke with her last week when she phoned drunk and started swearing and cursing at me on the phone. i told her the days of that shit were well and truly gone and hung up. i know her and she will not back down from this not at all she says she wants the kids and cant live without them but gave them up for 13 weeks to go in to the army then 3 weeks to me before she changed her mind she is doing what she thinks is best for her not whats in the intrest of the girls, she doesnt care about moving them to a town four hours away from me putting them in a new school and home and then moving them every two years after as you can only stay in one place for 2 years at a time in the army then need to move on. i have a nice home good job and alot more stability for the girls plus i dont do the get drunk dump the kids and go off with everyone who shows me some form of attention. i wish i could stop the court but she is to pig headed to even try to listen to whats best for the girls and not her

Forget the court case! It isn't about winning. It is about your girls. Trust me I know where you're comming from. If you can get the best results for your girls without going to court so be it. Don't be so confident, about victory. In the begining of my battle my ex was pregnat with another mans child. Had just been arrested for assualt and so on. And the judge saw fit to give our son to her. I am getting the feeling it is more about her and revenge then it is about the girls. Make sure you have your priorities straight. What you are asking for is the hardest thing I have ever done, and that is with 3 combat deployments under my belt. As far as being 4 hours way....drive half way for exchanges. Again if she has visitation esp. if you can do it weekly then she won't have to live without the girls. Neither of you can live without them. It is about compromise, not victory.

If she's got custody already, you're going to have a long fight to win. Figure it will cost you about $25,000 in legal fees, but as a single father, my advice is this: Don't let it stop you!

Your children are the most important things in the world. They're worth every penny. I just got lucky that momma didn't want our little girl, but I'd have fought to the bitter end if she had tried to take my daughter from me!

Then go through the lawyer, or ask his paralegal what would be the best way to get through this impass. I mean my ex and I were about to see the judge when we had our sitdown. I figured a pleasant netual atmosphere would be better for all parties. Maybe go through Gram. Afterall, she's the one pushing this to the judge. Invite her and all other interested parties to lunch where you can be cordial, and avoid a scene. Sounds like you ex is open to commuincation if she is drunk dialing you.

yeah, now comes some insight!

The courts may not any longer care who's a slut or if MOMS do drugs/alchohol; but ya know what-kids do. I'm tired of vindictive/psychopathic, or immoral women raising some guys children cuz he has been trained that the woman is always right.

Yes you can win custody of your children. These days more fathers are winning custody of their children a lot more! Especially considering the fact that she has joined the military and more then likely will be sent to Iraq. You are right your children need stability, and a parent that is going to be around all the time. Don't get me wrong, as a mother I feel they still need her. But only if she is going to be around full time. These days anymore, it's not about the fact the we are the Mommy's and should have fulltime care of the children. It's about what's best for the children. Which parent can provide a stable, good invironment for them. Considering what you have said, you will more then likely get physical custody of them, and she will have visitation rights. Don't give up. Kids need their fathers just as bad as they need their mothers.

Eyes on the prize dude. When you have kids it's not about you anymore. The kids are more important than either one of you.
