    Default Temporary Custody Orders

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Kentucky
    My wife decided to divorce me earlier in the year. For several months I had a verbal agreement with my wife to have the children for a little over 1/2 of the time. Since then she lied and said we didn't have a verbal agreement in place. We then had to go back to court and a temporary agreed order was signed. The new order limits my visitation compared to the verbal agreement. However, I still get quite a bit of visitation. I get my children every other weekend plus Tuesday and Thursday of one week, and Wednesday of the next week.

    My wife knows that I am bi-sexual. She knows that I have been seeing a man for several months. She knew this when she signed the agreed order as she filed an affidavit that I had a boyfriend. She has even brought the children over and went on familly trips with my significant other and me. She spend a lot of time with my significant other and even became really close with him. Now that the final hearing is approaching she wants to take away alot more of my visitation because I am gay. I even have a tape recording of her stating that when our kids are with my partner she knows they are in good hands and will be safe.

    My question is.....do temporary orders carry alot of weight in a custody situation? I just don't think its right that my wife has agreed to the children being with my significant other all this time just to use it against me....Any advice??? Thanks!!!

    Do you have an attorney?

    If not, you really need to hire one. Or, at least get a consult with one ASAP.

    Talk to your lawyer! He/she knows your case better than anyone here and how the laws of your state applies.

    I am not a lawyer but hearing someones opinion sounds like something you are looking for so here is what I think. I think you need to consider the views of gay marriage in the state of Kentucky. Living together with your partner may sway any decision. Be prepared for the views of the judge being involved in any decisions and hope for a female or gay judge who will not be partial to sexual orientation. Keep in mind that the court will likely rule upholding the state's position on gay marriage. If anything about your relationship borderline violates any state law rest assured it will have bearing on visitation. Georgia at least had laws on the books that would not benifit you in anyway!The advice to seek a lawyer is good advice because you really need to know the position of the state and how to maneuver in court based on that opinion. I wish you the best of luck and I am sorry you could not work it out that the three of you could all live together and be a happy trio! Your partner should always be your best friend after all marriage is a lifelong commitment!
