My ex and I have been divorced for 4 years. For the last 2 1/2 we have had joint custody but the boys ages 9 & 11 live with their dad most of the time and I get to keep them everyother weekend and once a week except this summer we take turns keeping them a week at a time everyother week. The problem is that my 9 year old last night realized that they go back to their dads tonight for the week and he locked himself in his room and packed his backpack and told his brother he was going to run away. Well, I knew he really wasn't and tried to talk to him and I also called his dad to see if he could spend some time with them and talk things out because when he does have them his job keeps him from them most of the time. I know they aren't being abused or anything like that. Their dad loves them but I know they want to live with me and their dad won't let them because he doesn't want to pay child support. It won't work to go to court. There has to be a major change in circumstances.
