Q: My children no longer want to live with their mother and they express this everytime they come over.

Their mother and I are still legally married,we have not been together since 2010. My children are 11 and 10 years of age. They tell me that they are scared of their mother and her boyfriend and that her boyfriend bullies my son by punching him in the arm and chest and calls him a sissy and a b**ch. How possible would it be for me to get custody when filing for divorce also I have video of them telling me some things that go on at their mom's place

A: You need to speak with an attorney about your situation. No one can advise you of your custody chances based upon a short message. Custody encompasses many factors, and the judge has to analyze all of them before making a decision.
