I filed for divorce over a year ago. Unfortunately, in the county where I filed, there is no automatic temporary parenting plan set. Therefore, both myself and my soon-to-be ex have "custody". About 4 months ago, at the advice of my attorney I set up a visitation agreement with my husband, but it had not been signed by a judge. My ex continuosly threatened to take my children and leave state, which my attorney has heard. My ex would take his "visitation time" sometimes and sometimes he wouldnt. All of a sudden he decided he wanted more "visitation time". My attorney and I both agree he is only asking for more time to lower child support. Long story short, when he picked up the kids for visitation, he stated that he wasnt going to bring them back. I know that because there is no parenting plan, there is nothing I can do until I get into court. But my question is...what will the judge think of him doing this? He only seen the kids a handful of times for the first 10 months we were seperated and he has gave no support at all. Will this act on my ex's part, influence the judges decision on custody and visitation?

I'm not sure how that would work. About 95% say the support isn't nearly enough to support the kids, so the more time with the other parent, the more it costs them and the less it costs you.

It really depends on how much money your STBX has and how big of an [censored] his attorney is ESPECIALLY in tennessee courts. My eX did ALL the wrong things, didn't pay child support, broke into my car twice and took money, threatened to kill me and my family via text, fired me, black listed me, took NO interest in the children UNTIL just before we went to court then his attorney took everything and anything and turned it around so that I appeared to be "keeping the children" from him. It worked and I almost lost custody of the kids even though I NEVER did anything wrong. My advise, document everything and get yourself a lawyer who has a nasty reputation as a bully. Tennessee courts are corrupt too. Look at all the indictments on Judges and other politicians in knoxville. I pity you...You really should check out eXmagazine at [censored]://[censored].exmagazineonline.com....very helpful.
