I am guessing that you mean your wife's EX husband? Try your best to work out a compromise with him...if he is unwilling then you probably need to talk with a lawyer.

I don't see any possible change your wife's former husband can take the children throughout the school year. Not only does he owe back child support, but he is disabled. Most states awards the children to the mother anyway. The best way to work this out is to say no! if that is what you wish to do, and then see where he takes it. If he starts legal proceedings, then you must get an attorney. In any case, he won't be awarded the child throughout the year, and he will know this, if he contacts a lawyer.

I sincerely doubt that if you and your wife have a normal, stable marriage, any judge would remove the child from her custody simply because she remarried. Since the father is disabled, perhaps your wife can forgive some of the back child support owed. He and she need to sit down and talk about a solution of visitation which might make all parties involved happy.

Just collect as much proof as you can that the dad is incompetent to have the sole custody of the child, for example not paying child support, not working, drug/health issues etc, just be prepared in case he wants to battle the custody of the child. But before you 3 go to court try to mediate and talk to him, perhaps he is just afraid of you because you 2 haven't had a chance to get to know each other.
Good luck.

Everyone involved needs to do the best thing for the child. Its not about you, your wife, or the father. Let the child decide where he whats to be. This is the best way to do it that way no one ends up being the bad guy and there is no unnecessary stress.

Speak with an attorney. Tell him that you are unsure that he will be able to care for the child throughout school due to his disability. Try to get full custody of the child. Also, I hope you mean her ex-husband.

Frist thing to do is get copies of courts custodies agreement then a lawyer to go after him for full custody of children

tell him no way.let him try to take you to court.he will have court cost,will have to pay what he owes and if he cant he will go to jail.tell him if hes worried about paying support he can sign over legal rights and he wont have any say in their lives ,you will drop all support and he can continue with every other weekend visitations.he wont do anything to try to get it his way,he cant afford it.

My first question is, is he her husband or EX husband, makes a HUGE difference.
