I'm a tradesman, lots of hours away from home obviously. Before finding my now wife I had my 3 kids 50/50, money split the same, but to get married I had to divorce legally.

Shit got complicated, ex then decided she was the better parent after all our verbal agreements to keep it the way it had been since separation. Unfortunately I already signed the default Texas agreement because neither had the money to amendmend it. That's what I was told by her anyway, we'd both need a lawyer to make it right. I trusted her cause we were always close friends no matter what.

Til now obviously, fuck her. My kids are sooo angry too because my wife now has a son they love that is their age. They hate the limited agreement time, for those that don't know. Every other weekend starting Friday at 6, such bullshit.

So, just get a lawyer, take out a loan if you have to. Women out think us all the damn time, don't think yours will be different like I did. Best friends at the beginning or not, just don't.
