spots94 Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 My H and I have been separated for 3 weeks now. I have a daughter and a son. My daughter is from a previous relationship and she is not my H's. My son is his. My daughter really doesn't want to go over there or have any sleepovers at the house with my H. She is 12 and I think she is upset by what is happening, my H has been in her life since she was 1. Custody with my daughter is I have her one week and her dad the next, we have done this with my son too who is 9, and I have both kids on the same weeks so they can be together. My question is if we end up getting divorced does my H have any rights over custody on my daughter? I think he wouldn't but was just wondering. She doesn't really want to spend much time with him though she does love him. She is just very proective over her parents. She is also old enough to stay home alone so my H really doesn't need to wach her. My daughter did say that if my H were to take her and my son somewhere for an outing or something she would go for her brother. I just don't think my H has thought of all the things that could happen if we do end up with a divorce he wouldn't really ever see my daughter very much anymore and I know he loves her very much. Right now thats up in the air no decision has been made yet on divorce though he is leaning towards that way, I on the other hand am not. He is still very angry with me and the last few days seems to be calming down a bit, I am trying to have limited contact with him unless its about the kids and I don't dare talk about or future or our realtionship right now. I am just trying to better myself no matter what happens and hopefully he can see that. Hs anyone had to deal with stepchildren and separation/divorce and how did you handle it?
