I'm fighting for 50/50 access to kids; we separated in Spring of last year and I was with kids nearly everyday even though I didn't live in the house.
I still paid for all house expenses until January and that is when wife decided that I'm no longer entitled to seeing kids so much.
Her lawyer sent letter saying access can only be alternate weekends due to kids ages (2 under 5). The weekday she gave a time of 3-5pm but I work until 5pm and I'm not able to get out of work so early. I even had a letter prepared by my workplace stating the office hours are 9-5pm.
Since then I'm setting up an apartment in the same neighbourhood and setting it up so kids can come and stay with me overnight during week (and alternating weekends)
My lawyer tells me not to worry we've sent multiple letters from Jan - March asking for more time with kids and how I've always been an involved father and it's not fair to them that I'm being kept away from them.
Her letters put the position that due to kids ages they need a mother more than a father and as such should not be with me more than the few hours they are suggesting.
We have a case conference scheduled for sometime in July but I don't want to wait that long.
Any suggestions on what I should do? My lawyer tells me to be patient and just have the apartment fully ready for the kids.
