BurntToast - you probably already know this, but document *everything* to do with the ex and the kids. It really helps if you have to go to court. Even if you don't have any proof, keep a diary of things like when exactly this movie incident occured, how often she does/doesn't call, when she gets visitation, when she misses visitation and why, etc. It doesn't really count as proof of much, since it is still your word that these things happened the way you recorded them, but it is a lot nicer to be able to tell the judge 'she called only twice between January and April, missed her visitation for Christmas because she said she couldn't get out of work, etc'. Compare that to: 'She hardly ever calls the kids, and misses her visitation with them sometimes.' It's a lot more believable when you back it up with details.
Yes, I have full custody of my son from my first marriage - and intend to keep it that way!
