I have a friend who has 2 kids.
He has never been employed above the poverty line, while his ex common-law wife has always made decent money.
He has been on welfare for almost a year.
During the relationship, he was the childrens primary caregiver.
When they separated, they had 50/50 shared parenting time.
Recently, she took the kids out of their school, moved to the other side of town, and has allowed only EOW access.
Last case conference, Judge said they would "probably" end up with mother having custody and father having EOW.
Father is in a bind now, as welfare wont give him "parents allowance" without 50/50.... ex wont share tax benefits.... etc.
Any advice? (other than telling him to get a job)....
