I had (still have sometimes) similar problems. My boys are 6 and 2. The older one didnt really start acting up until my youngest got to be 1. There was a lot of change in his life and I dont think he new how to deal with it. He had just started Kindergarten but my youngest one goes to work with me, so he would act up in school. Then my boyfriend moved back in and I think he didnt like some of mommy time taken away. He got a counselor at school and we have been spending some one on one time doing what he loves. I put him in a couple sports but he didnt like them but he has a spanish tutor that he loves because it is JUST about him. He is learning how to be a "GOOD" big brother. I started by sending him to his room everytime he would backtalk, now there is no backtalking anymore!!!!! He is doing so much better. I hope this helps but at least you know you are not alone. GOOD LUCK
