I want my kids 50/50 and every other weekend, I see them only…

The issue that raises is that there has been some significant time with the current status quo in place. Judges are usually reluctant to displace the status quo. This is not so much because they favor single mothers, but because they do not want to move from a known, stable situation to one that may be positive, but is still untested and unknown.

Having said that, there is nothing that stops a judge from putting in place the parenting arrangement and that you seek, as long as you can show that this will be in the best interests of your children. They will take into account the types of factors that you mentioned, such as the ability you have to provide them with language instruction and your culture, and the fact that mother is not adequately providing for them, and so on.

There is no set age. It depends on the maturity of the children. Generally a court will not put much weight on what any child under age 12 wants to do. They put more and more weight on an child's wishes after age 12 the more mature and responsible the child becomes. Generally by age 16, the court will not put any order in place and a child at that age can live where they wish.

Property that either of you acquired during your marriage, up to the date of separation, is subject to equal division.

For spousal support there are no fixed rules as to how long you may have to support her. It will depend on how long she might need to be properly compensated for any disadvantage suffered by the marriage or its breakdown, or to achieve reasonable financial self-sufficiency.

Nothing legally prevents you from living in a new relationship, or a common-law relationship, and having children with that person. It does not matter if you have been divorced or not.

Yes, what your lawyer has told you should be correct. If you have been paying for those expenses since separation, you should receive credit for you to call me either as showing that you made payments of spousal support which we would be tax-deductible to you, or that you have made payments to increase the equity in property after the separation, and that you should receive the full increase in value of that equity.

As far as how long she should stay in the house, there is no definite answer to that question. A court could order her to be removed from the house at any time. But this is not subject to any specific time limits. It is in the discretion of the court. They would consider factors such as whether she has any other place to go, what will be in the best interest of the children, and how long she would need to find some other reasonable accommodation.

We can answer some follow-up questions here to your original question. But you are now going quite far a field from the original question. You are asking for us to provide you with detailed information as to how to proceed in your application. We are not allowed to perform legal services here. And the site requires that if you are asking completely separate questions: that you post those as a separate question, and not as a follow-up to the original.
