Q: I have 50/50 custody. Have a new child with current wife. Do they care about that bond? She wants to modify, shes bro
She has a boyfriend they are on/off but he refuses to work but I seriously expect she is making the right choice and try to co parent. Recently she ran into financial issue, and all the sudden she wants to modify. Since I have had same job forever she is all over the map. I wonder if the judge will even care he has a new baby brother who love each other so natural its beautiful. Or is she going to get the i filed first and Im mom so I win treatment.
A:
The court is to review 16 factors when making a custody determination. Here's the link. Read sections 5328-5329.1. You'll see that the factors include relationships with siblings. You would do well to consult with a experienced family law attorney in your area in person. FYI - her filing first is of no consequence.
