Seems about standard as divorces go.

Children don't stay children forever

so long as you're not a dick, they'll be all yours once they see what a vindictive twat waffle their mother is

The amount of anger I have for parents who use their children like this cannot be contained.

Before either parent is awarded custody the children are interviewed and questioned. Very rarely do small children get to make the decision. And its never decided in court without the judge even speaking to the children.

My so. turns 18 in two days and hasn't spoken to his father in nearly 2 years because his father played the same games. Children grow up and eventually their love can't be bought. Btw, I hope you mentioned to the judge their reason for choosing her. My judge didn't appreciate my ex's bribery.

It’s a dog eat dog world out there buddy

Don't worry, they'll remember that she's a liar when she doesn't follow through.

If they're young enough for that to work they're too young for their choice to be the final say. It might influence the judge but not more than everything else about the case.

Oh, that’s a dick move. I’m sorry your children are being used as pawns. I hope you’ll be the bigger person and not shit talk the other parent; I remember how that made me feel when my parents split. Best of luck to you and your offspring
