No recommendations but I hope things turn out well for you buddy. You are a good friend and your boys are lucky to have a dad like you.
Modifications are tough without a really compelling reason one way or another, or unless your ex is in agreement with you.
Best of luck as I know from experience how hard shared custody is.

Good luck to you. The thought of going through that makes me sick.
Dealt with it with a step daughter once and found it expensive and inefficient. Having to figure out how to deal with my own kids would be crushing even before the financial hit!

Hmm, no experience myself, but William Shatner says good things about Hupy and Abraham....although, I think this was more injury, but the Shat man knows his stuff, so I mean, how can you go wrong?

Again, no personal experience, but a former co-worker mentioned these folks, they're all about fathers' rights.

Yeah we will see. I'm pretty sure she wont want to do it until they're older.
She's also able to afford to stay at home with her new baby with the child support money coming in.

I don't have a bad thing to say about others mentioned in this thread, but this is who I would call if it was me. And no, it's not me, or my firm.

My only advice is the more you and your ex can hash this out on your own the better. Once the courts get involved one or both of you may be very unhappy. Unless it's unavoidable, leaving these types of determination to a stranger (judge) can be dangerous.
When possible you want negotiation to be a collaboration, not a confrontation. My thoughts on negotiation is to try to figure out how to get the other person as much of what they want. The more you get them what they want, the more likely you will get what you want.

I got a B+ in my journalism law class at ISU. I'd be willing to represent you for a minimal fee.
This guy has been around almost forever if you are looking for experience.
RIP Phil Hartman.
We will have to go to mediation before we go to court anyways. I want to talk to a lawyer first to find out what their thoughts are on my situation and to help me prepare for mediation.
Honestly, it's just a few more weekdays a month, but it will mean a lot to me, and them.
Good luck to you cyhiphopp. Those situations are never fun. If you don't have 50/50 custody now, and already pay child support, and you aren't a crackhead or deadbeat my experience says it can't hurt to try for more. A friend of mine just did after his ex got greedy so he took her to court and ended up getting 7 and 7 with half the child support!
Understand that lawyers are in business for one thing. Be careful in mistaking a one hour chat for anything other than the person on the other side of the desk trying to see how much money you have in the bank and what their chances are of getting it all.
