I have a question. I have seen in many posts that the status quo when it comes to how much you get the children after a seperation plays a big part when you try to get more access.
My question is this. Does the courts take into account the during a seperation like in my case. I chose to move out so as to not disrupt the kids any further than what they were already going through. I ended up moving into my Aunts place for about 8 months because during that time frame I was still paying the mortgage, bills, car payment and all the other costs associated with the family. Every cent I earned from January (date I moved out)- August (date mediation was done and house was sold) was spent on the family bills as if nothing had ever changed for my ex and the kids.
Due to that I was not able to afford to rent an apartment, buy a car or much food. I was able to arrange myself for the kids every other weekend and every Wednesday but couldnt financially do more during the first 2 years.
I am now back on my feet and its been 2 years since we seperated.
How would this affect the custody outcome if it goes to court?
