So it looks like it is time...

To start looking for another lawyer. Brittany has decided that how much I pay in child support isn't enough. I told her that if she really wanted to go through with this, I would just take her back to court and push for partial, if not joint custody of the kids. This time the court cant put me off with a weak argument like, you have never met your kids. Not really my fault, I tried but when I did, I was turned away by the police.
Because after the last time we went to court, Brittany agreed that I should get visitation. Kennedy and Kyler have visited with me twice since then, its sort of hard to see them when they are so far away. I have also tried to keep up with calling them and talking to them, but sometimes we just cant meet up. But now Kennedy and Kyler know me, and they love me and want to spend time with me. When I do get to talk with them, they always ask when they can see me again.
So I will get a better lawyer this time, someone who will actually listen to what I tell them and do what I ask. And when I do get at least partial custody I wont have to worry about things like this again.
I have offered another choice to Brittany, one which I feel is fair, but which she will most likely never take. It seems to me as though taking care of the kids and working are too much of a strain on her. I have offered to take the children, she can have joint, partial custody of them whatever she wants. She can visit them whenever she likes, take them for whatever holiday she wants. But she will never have to give me a penny because I believe that just having my kids is a bigger blessing than having a little extra money.
That being said, I love Kennedy and Kyler, and look forward to having them this summer. I also miss Kyliena, and I wish she was older and able to come visit as well.
