We have a temporary custody agreement that was achieved through a family case mediation with a judge, unfortunately my ex spouse has not lived up to her end of the agreement. The agreement doesn't name a primary custodial parent, and is based on a 50/50 parenting agreement. I am a logger and our industry is in what we call break-up ( the grounds and roads are too wet to haul and process the logs), in wich I am on EI till from march till june every year. Because of the financial circumstances, and because the children are sposed to be here 50% of the tim I pay no child support and my ex gets all the government child tax credit, anyways I'm getting away from my question...since the agreement was put through the courts the children have been here 4-5 days a week, she refuses to take them on her 3 days off and spends the time instead with her new Boyfreind, on the days she does have the children she see them for aproximately 4 hours a day then she works from 3-11 pm after work she spends and hour or so in the bar drinkin with her co workers ( she works in a bar as a cook), is it unreasonable for me to ask her to spend at least 2 of her days off with our children so that they get the Mothering they need , honestly I beleive that not wanting to spend her days off with her kids shows me that she isn't thinking of our children at all and she isn't as intrested in raising our children as I am.
and no I'm not mad because she's with another guy, I would never spend a day off with out my kids if I hadn't had any quality time with them on the days I worked. It is all about the kids nothing else.
 
You may have to consider addressing this back into court in front of the judge, since she doesn't follow the current temporary agreement..document all that she does/doesn't do..for court, because down the road there will be a final agreement done for custody/visitation..you would have your side of the case more prepared to prove that you should have the children more than her..based on her current behaviors with your children
 
Are you worried about your kids or are you mad because she has a new guy?

If you're worried about your kids, document this and then try to get primary custody of them.
 
She no longer answers to you, but she certainly answers to the court. Take her back there and get primary custody of the kids.
