More details to this question:
I have paid a lawyer to file a divorce with joint custody after a year battle and me asking for divorce he filed for physical custody. My ex and I have both said joint custody with 50/50 over our children. Even after first court date we have said joint then I get an email saying he needs another $1000 for a $2000-$3000 custody battle.
