Advise on a couple of married situations...

[jqc]

Married with three kids, I want to make some of the decisions on how to bring up those kids but spouse overides any of my ideas. I wanted to know what my rights are concerning being "married living together".

My response:

Are you the stepmother or natural mother?

Do you see that writing in RED, above? Without a State name, we can't even attempt to assist you, if we're even able to assist you at all. Laws are different everywhere.

I AM ALWAYS LIABLE, I am a father in KY.
Thanks, for the response.
Some examples:
1) Trying to get my wife to leave the kids with me as she is going out the door to go with her mom and go to this store, that baby party,run errands with her mom for her mom etc...
2) I do not want my kids in beauty pageants.
3) Not wanting my wife to take the kids to where she and her mother, brother mow 4 yards since I did not like what I saw last week. Lawnmowers all around my kids!

I am still confused... You are married to this woman.. the children concerned are both of yours and you all live in the same place .. right ??

Now, she is making decision regarding the children and ignoring you .. so can we presume that your relationship and/or marriage currently sucks ??

LegalBeagle, you are very correct in your assessment. I went into marriage believing it was 50/50 if words could change my wife I have said them all!...I suppose what I am asking is basically can one half of this union legally "dominate" all the decisions. Some example's I have mentioned in previous post but here is another:
Wife says she will not sign papers to sell our home to move off of a "busy/dangerous" street. We need a larger home now with three kids. I understand her concerns financially but I would get three jobs if we were about to lose that new home. My wife has many good qualities and she is "not all bad". Both our parents never divorced and I would hate to break up mostly for the kids. I always looked at it as my suffering only until she is doing things that endangers my children or keeps me from having time with them to say read a book.
