What is the name of your state? California
My wife and I have been together for 10 years and are probably going to separate. We have three younger children 6, 7 and 9. In the last 5 years she began attending a church that is an off shoot of Mormonism.
She has been telling me lately that the church is telling her California is going to fall into the ocean (I’m not kidding) and that the followers need to move to Missouri where they are setting up housing for everyone. She tells me they have a house for us there already.
When I ask her questions like what about our jobs (we both work) and what about the kids she says that the church is going to take care of everything. I told her that this is nonsense and that I'm not going to uproot the kids and everything we have worked for this nonsense prophecy. She said that she is going to take the kids there with her.
I believe she could do this. What actions should I take to help prevent this? Would this type of thought be important if I went to a judge seeking full physical custody?
Also, a year ago she fell for a Nigerian scam that cost us $14,000 dollars. What happened is she told me her mom was dying and that she had to fly to Asia to go see her. I found out while she was gone that she had actually flown to Europe to deliver $10,000 to the person scamming her. She thought they were going to put 3 million dollars in an offshore bank account for her once she delivered cash to cover the supposed taxes.
She is actually a good mom when it comes to covering their basic care but she is extremely gullible. I worry about important and complex decisions she would make if the kids are with her. She does not have the ability to reason in these situations and will rely on what people tell her to do.
Currently I am involved with all school, health and recreational activities with kids. I take them to the doctors, sporting events, and meet with the teachers. She does very little of that.
