he only filed today and told me this evening. we had lots of issues, so not surprising. I lost my job last month as on of the DC's needs meant it wasn't compatible with working anymore (one of the DC has a chromosome disorder and severe learning difficulties with challenging behaviours - quite a complex package). DH always resented me for only working part time despite not wanting to pick up the slack at home with the DC, appointments, meetings, early school pick ups etc. Anyhow, I digress. But things came to a head recently meaning I had to leave paid work.
I would want to (and have to financially) return to work but I cannot do this with having the DC full time...
so what is the courts position in relation to children. I really want a 50/50 custody. I don't give a damn shit how he manages that with his job (he cannot with his current role which involves frequent travel) but I cannot and will not have the DC full time even if he pays maintenance. I rather forfeit this and earn my own money and create some space for myself too.
and what do I do now? I certainly cannot afford a solicitor? where do I go? I am on carers allowance since leaving paid work. do I wait for the court papers and take things from there?
