Change Custody?

[casa]

My kids are 10, 7 and 18 months, and I'd STILL live in my Dad's RV before I'd live with him and his wife. And I'd live in my mom's lil pop-up camper before I'd move back into her house, much as I love her.

A friend of mine let her son move out into the RV when he was 16... he's 20 and still there... loves it.

Honestly, I'm not trying to strongly discourage OP, but he's going to have to prove that mom is endangering the kids, or is so unstable as to be damaging to the children - and living in a 'camper' isn't likely to make that happen - not when the US government has deemed living in a camper to be perfectly acceptable long-term housing for disaster victims. KWIM?

A friend of mine has 5 year old twins, and 2 dogs (and no job) and lives in a converted garden shed. A 2 ROOM house - not two bedrooms - 2 ROOMS. It might be 14 x 14 total. It's been deemed 'acceptable housing' on at least 2 occasions (her sister used to live there).

In this case, that is just one factor in many to consider. The combination of issues in this situation are what would prompt the judge to look into the overall Best Interests of the Children.

And, I'm sure if you were all 3 living in your Mom's pop-up tent it would have been an even longer, more aggravating custody battle between you & asshat.

Stupidhead. Asshat has been no trouble at all.

As it was, he DID make an issue about my housing (2 BR 12x60 trailer in the middle of nowhere), and was told i no uncertain terms that even if I was homeless that would not be enough to change custody as long as his visitation was not being interfered with and the children were fed and warm and dry.

So, that's what I'm going on here. It's been my experience that things aren't that different on the other side of State Line Road.

OP ~ Where in KS are you?

RE: Thank You

My Atty. filed a motion for a temporary change of custody friday and the judge accepted it and awarded it to me. My ex wife was served last night and within an hour after she was served i had to officers at my doorstep wanting to do a WELL CHILD check. Imagine that...
Is there any way i can prove that it was here who requested it, she's using the police to harrass me!!!

Pick your battles. Document it and move on. Glad it worked out for you.
