I really need some help.
My wife and I separated probably close to three years ago now. We signed a separation agreement ourselves and agreed that we would share custody of the child (1 week each).
Since then, she has tried to have the details of the separation agreement changed, either through negotiation, or through "forcing" me to change it.
She now wants to force me to have my child every second weekend only, changing the terms of the conditions of the SA.
I have questions on two issues:
CUSTODY.
We have been doing alternate weeks now for several years. How easy is it for her to have the court force me to give up my child and see her on weekends only? My child is about to turn 9 so I don't know if the court would consider the views of the child (who wants to retain the status quo).
SPOUSAL SUPPORT.
She has been living with a new partner for around a year. Is that good enough grounds for me to request termination of the Spousal Support payments?
I'm really hoping that someone can help me out. I've been doing some reading and I like to think that I'm of at least average intelligence, but it would be great to have someone to bounce ideas off too. Maybe even someone who has been through the same situation.
Thanks in advance.
