What are my options if I was under pressure to sign my divorce but now some things her lawyer slipped in are unjust and impossible?
My ex’s lawyer put in that during my visitations times, I can only have my kids if am off work for the time or my mother is in town to watch them. My girlfriend and I watch each other’s kids and we have a babysitter that supplements. My mother no longer makes the kind of money that lets her jet from out of state at the drop of a hat and I cannot take off work and afford to pay the child support. Also, she moved the kids 5 hours away so it difficult to see them at all. Additionally, I moved to another state to save money and be close to work; we we already on the border.

If you felt that you were coerced in any way to sign the agreement then speak with a alwyer about trying to set it aside. If that is impossible try modification based upon a change of circumstances. Was there nothing in the agreement regarding the move? 5 hours interferes with your parenting time with the children. Please bring the agreement to some one to read. Good luck.
