My question involves a child custody case from the State of: VirginiaMy wife was having an extra marital affair and would go to work and not come home for days because she was at her new romantic relationship.At home we have a 4 and 5year old boys. She would not call to see whether they are ok and i had been at home taking care of them while she ran the streets. I have since then relocated to nearby family to get them away from the situation. I was not working because I was a fulltime student and she worked 6 days of the week. When I called her to see what was the problem she told me it's over and she wasnt coming back home and didnt mention the kids. I have petitioned the court for custody here in virginia beach and found a place and currently enrolling boys into school and applied for assistance until i gain employment. Is this abandonment on her behalf? She wont agree to mediation the court ordered or come visit them because she said she wanted her freedom. I have let them talk to her over the phone but it will be 2 1/2 mnths when we go to court that she has not made an effort to see them or support them in any way. How will the courts look at this ?
