Please help. I am a full time college student and I work part time. I am not an unfit Mother. I don't drink or smoke and I am always here with my kids. My goal is to open up my own Beauty and Barber Salon one day soon. Serious answers only.

I am a full time college student but I take all my classes online. So when I am at work my kids are at school. So yes I am here with them all the time. I work for UPS so yes I do make enough to support me and my kids.
Thanks for all the advice.

You could discuss this issue with your attorney and tell him about your concerns.... many times during divorce, the other spouse will threaten they want custody for one reason or the other.
I hope your attorney will provide you helpful information and that you succeed in your career goal. I'm rooting for you, hon!

You are a FULL time college student AND working part time AND always with your kids. Hm...., I have only 24 hours in a day. Do you get extra?
Anyhow, your serious answer - I understand you want your kids (who wouldn't). If you make enough money to provide for them and you can show the judge you spend enough time with them, then I see no reason for you not getting them. But IF that is not the case, then maybe giving them to your husband might actually be good for them (and you, as you will be able to focus on your education). Yet, don't think of this as final. Once you are done with your education and have a full time job and the needed security - go fight for your kids :)

Why would he not try to gain custody of the children? He loves them too right?
Just because you are the female does not automatically make you the best choice for the children. Just as it doe not make you the worst.
You have decided to break a commitment and now you must go through the consequences of that action. The court will now decide which of you will be better for the children.

Husband is going to take the kids, and I own the Brooklyn Bridge. The courts will always side with the mother provided that a healthy, stable home is being provided (sometimes even if it isn't). Since you likely can't afford an attorney, you might want to locate an advocacy group that will help you pro-bono or at a reduced fee.

The first thing you need is a good family law attorney. Take advice from him/her, not random geeks with key boards.
If money is a problem, try looking for help at a local law school. Law schools are filled with hoards of young attorneys with free time to spare.
Good luck. I will pray for you.

Its highly unlikely that he will gain full custody unless he can prove to the courts that they are better off with him.
As long as you are a good mum and can financially support them, i think that you will be fine.
Good Luck

Men say they are doing this, it is an effort to try and control you. What do you think he is going to do with the kids?
