So my ex wife died last week of cancer. My teen sons watched their mother die in real time. I was giving her over $4,000 a month in alimony and child support, it's been rough. Now that she passed im going to be taking custody of them in the next two weeks. I have let my sons be with the ex's family to mourn and be with their mom while all of this happened. I found out they are trying to get my sons to be emancipated so they can keep me from getting custody. So even in death, her and her family try to keep my son's father from being able to raise his sons. Luckily after a threat of legal action, they appeare to be standing down.
