May God watch over both of you, as well as the children, in this time of separation.I was seperated yesterday. my wife took the kids to her sister’s. she has not responded to my calls/ text. please pray for us.
i don’t know when i will see my kids. it hurts.
That is very painful and I’m sorry to hear of your heartache. But in time you will see them again, so hold on to that hope.I was seperated yesterday. my wife took the kids to her sister’s. she has not responded to my calls/ text. please pray for us.
i don’t know when i will see my kids. it hurts.
I’m not sure I am following your situation. If she and the children are at her sister’s because you had an argument and at the moment feels she wants to get a divorce, why do you need to file emergency orders for custody?thank you all for your prayers. its a separation to divorce. no paperwork. she said last week we are separating to divorce. we had an argument friday then she left with the kids without telling me.
i need to file emergency orders for custody since she is not replying to my calls/texts. we will have to have a hearing. i am only going to court to see the children. if she wants a legal separation or divorce she will need to start that up.
Im in ca. does anyone know the weekly rotation for visits and or holidays etc?
please help,
also, i feel weak spiritually and am trying to stay focused only my wife and children.

I think it is actually a good situation that your wife and children are not very far away. Its also good that she has now spoken with you.When i was taking a shower she just left with the kids. her parents were with her as well.
i went to the sister’s house because they are about 8 blocks away. i finally spoke to her and she did not want to come back and she said she would call me in a couple of hours to figure out what to do with the children.
i’ve asked her via text and phone to let me see them. she just texted me today about skyping with them. i asked to have the children stay at home tonite (my father is coming to visit) and she texted that we could chat via skype.
i am asking for orders because she is keeping me away from the kids.
the focus i feel is the children. they need to see both parents. she is not talking to me so i we cannot figure something out.
very very sad situation.
Responding positively? By taking away the kids and not letting their father see them? It would be great if she repented of this step, but it seems like she’s armed for bear. I think the OP should contact a lawyer pronto to make sure that his parental rights are respected.I think it is actually a good situation that your wife and children are not very far away.

It sounds positive that at the moment you will be able to skype with the children. Since Friday, she has left with the children to her sister’s, taken time to “settle” herself, responded to you, and now ready to set up a skype chat. That sounds like a lot of positive movement.
Deciding to get a court order to be with your children could sound like a good thing in many situations…but… As your situation is moving, it sounds as if it is a drastic step that could possibly cause your wife to become more strong in her desire to legally separate and divorce. (That is only my opinion - based only on my thoughts about what you have shared.)
I say that because she seems to be responding positively to you at this point. She even has a plan for you to chat with the children. If all of this has transpired since Friday, how much more positive changes may take place as you and she work together?
By bringing in a court order - seems to me - she might not want to work with you any more - it might change her positive movements that she has made to very strong opposition to you - while at the same time meeting the court order to allow you visitation.
Give her time to adjust to whatever caused her to need to go to her sister’s and to not being at home with you. Pray. She most likely will begin talking with you again.
It is true that children need both parents. In the case of a divorce or separation, I’m sure you and she will see to it that the children see both of you. For the short time you have been apart - since Friday - it is okay for the children to not see dad for a few days.
Maybe speaking with your parish priest will be beneficial. He can lead you towards how to reconcile your marriage. I don’t think asking for a court order to see your children after 48 hours of them being 8 blocks away with your wife - would look like you are reaching for a goal of reconciliation.
Invite you and your dear wife to Retrouvialle. Contact someone at Retrouvaille to speak with them.

May St. Raphael pray for you and your wife.
Keep praying for peace and for patience. Maybe you will be able to reconcile with your wife after she has time to be away. Being with the children later this week will be wonderful. Hopefully, your dad will get to spend time with the children as well.please pray for our family.
i feel she has postpartum depression and with our ups and downs it just all came together.
its heart breaking when i left my family (living with my mother in texas) to marry in california and start a new family only to have it all disappear.
i understand its hard now and it will get better. And I will see my kids sometime this week. I would just like to know when.

All the OP has told us is that she and the kids went to her sister’s, 8 blocks away, on Friday, and she will be letting him skype with the children and see them later this week.it seems like she’s armed for bear.
To the OP…you continue on with the legal process. The people on here will keep praying for you all! When the dust settles a judge may even tell your wife to go back home and seek help for her depression, and/or tell you both to enter a marriage counseling program.When i was taking a shower she just left with the kids. her parents were with her as well.
