Answer 1

G'day mygirlfriend,

Thank you for your question.

Your friend should see an attorney. It depends on the jurisdiction but custody decisions are usually based on what is in the best interests of the children so being a stay-at-home parent shouldn't count against her. Her husband would usually have to pay child support for their children if she has custody of the kids.

Regards

Answer 2

She will need to show the judge that she will be able to take care of them financially. If she has a job that will look better than if she doesn't. She also needs to find a place to live that is large enough for her and the kids so she can show that she has a roof over their heads. She can't get into any trouble with the law through this time too. Above anything else she needs to see a Lawyer immediately. Her rights need to be protected and a Lawyer that is on her side is the only way that it will happen. Good Luck

Answer 3

well unfortunately I know way to much about this matter: It is hard to prove a mother "unfit" and getting a job always looks better to a judge ,,,cheating is bad but it doesn't prove you unfit,,,,I'm not sure where you live but there's usually a "legal aid" in every state the sooner she gets an attorney the better,,,all you can do is be a friend, but it sounds like you already are,,,good luck to her

Answer 4

where is this guy that she was cheating with? i hope hubby does get the kids
your friend has character issues
husband works and this is the thanks he gets-he probably BOUGHT the computer she was emailing this new honey on....
I hope YOU dont have a husband...if so be prepared for hard times in your own marriage since you are classed by the company you keep!
This woman is not faithful to her own husband can she really be trusted with yours?
get her out of your house
let her work out her own mess (that she caused)
If a guy had done this to her you would be circling the wagons and screaming what kind of dog he was
it works both ways....
before you put her out
ask her was this internet chat
WORTH IT

Answer 5

before one thinks of cheating there have to think of the other parties involved such as their kids. kids are affected very badly. one should not think of their selfish desires, as one loves their kids why cheat on their father, what will they think of you as a parent, your child may never trust a parent again. they will grow up with fear of loving and being loved by someone else

Answer 6

She needs to talk to he attorney about her legal rights. This could get complicated because of her being unfaithful.

Answer 7

You need to stay out of it, she needs to provide for her children and retain an attorney to protect her rights...

Answer 8

She deserves what she gets.
