Sent to Legal Experts April 17, 2006 4:27 p.m.

I wife is talking about getting a divorce in which she does not want anything, but we have children and I want to be a part in thier lives. If I do not contest the divorce she said I could see the children anytime I want. My question is, can I have here sign something stating that if she marries a certain individual ( that I think she might be seeing) that I get full custudy?

ACCEPTED Check Mark

Even assuming that your wife would be willing to sign such a document -- any change the original custody agreement would have to be approved by the court. It is extremely unlikely that the court would consider such an agreement to be reasonable -- which means that the court would nullify the document -- and would not change the custody agreement based on it.

Your best bet is to negotiate the best shared custody/visitation agreement you can -- now -- at the time of the divorce.

If, and when, she marries this other fellow (or anyone else who you have valid reason to believe might harm your children) you should ask the court to re-visit the custody issue.
