Hi, OC. I hate to drag yet another state into this, but my experience in New Mexico was that when the child reaches the age of 14 you can also go back to court to get custody. At that age, the child himself may elect which parent he chooses to live with full-time and the court will so order. Although I was born and raised in NC, I did not get married and divorced there so I don't know if that option applies. Husband's children must be approaching that critical age, so it doesn't hurt to find out if it is one of your options and plan ahead. Chin up, and keep strong.
