What is the name of your state?NY
What exactly qualifies as a substantial change? I have my children 20% of the time and want it to be increased to 50/50. My ex-wife is heinous and keeps saying negative things about me- of course this I can't prove, but any law guardian would be able to get it out of the kids (11,7,5). I want to also get joint custody (at least of the younger two) and play a more active role in my children's lives but am consistently denied the right (I go to their teachers but my ex is so venemous that they are wary of her wrath). I am willing to go the full nine to get it, even if it means waiting a little while to gather proof. I do want to know what sort of documentation I need to show to the court to implement this. We live right across the street from each other so there's no great displacement and my son (7) always tells me he want to live with me- any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much
