I’ve been unhappily married for almost 7 years now. We have 19 month old twins together. Yes I know that it was a bad idea to bring kids into this but here we are.

The first three years she constantly picked fights about my ex gf. I met her about my current wife about 3 and a half months after I found out my gf was pregnant. A few months later I found out the baby was mine. However, I ended up having to delete and block my baby’s mother from everything to try to appease my current wife. Also, I know this was a coward move and I guilt trip myself about this a lot.

Almost immediately after she stopped starting fights for this, she started finding any little thing to fight about. Anything from not seeing or being able to swerve and miss a pothole while I’m driving to not holding our kids the right way. Those are just 2 examples out numerous instances that she materialized an argument out nothing. Even when I’ve tried to avoid arguments she insists and will carry on as if we had an argument using passive aggressive slamming things, silent treatment, going places with the kids and telling me I can’t go. It’s very bothersome because the weekends are the only time that I can have quality fun time with the kids.

So I’ve decided to divorce when my kids are 4 years old so 17 months from now. In the meantime I’ve have started keeping a spreadsheet of the arguments she starts and making recordings. Also, I’ve started documenting how she regularly goes to sleep and leaves me up with the kids. They typically don’t go to sleep until after 11:30 pm and I have to get up at 6 to get ready for work. She doesn’t work.

So will a spreadsheet and recordings of her behavior help me in court. I plan on seeking 50/50 custody in Texas. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated as well!
