One of the most critical tools in seeking sanity for yourself and family as well as gaining the documentation you will need in fighting your custody battle in court is Counseling. It is worth the extra expense to find yourself a good family therapist who is willing to counsel your entire family, young children, teens and adults. Most insurances cover the expense.
Our family therapist is awesome. He helps us to stay on track with our family and maintain a healthy marriage. He also helps to teach our kids how to cope with the stresses of growing up in blended and/or broken families. Since he is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, anything my stepkids tell him behind closed doors can be used in court.
You are insane if you opt out of the opportunity to see a counselor, especially when you are in the middle of a Domestic Relations dispute, because what you share with your therapist goes from being hearsay to becoming a legal document submissable in any court! Use this tool to your advantage especially when your kids witness the other parent doing something malicious.
(My husband's ex wife files a new lawsuit every year. Since we see our therapist on a biweekly basis, everything that can and does go wrong is documented with him and we use his documentation to support our case each year.)
