One more aside: Turns out that my son's "Doctor's Appt" was another way of saying they were taking him to the zoo. Again, I really hate these guys. (At least they seem like they're doing a good job with MY son.)
Hey, man, I read the update...I've been praying for you since I found out, and now that I know all the details of the situation, I can flatly say that that is some messed up bullsh*t. Seriously, I can't believe you weren't madder at the stunt they pulled. I hope your petition falls through because she sounds like a manipulative b****, and he just sounds like a brainless idiot having his strings pulled. ....*deep breaths*.....Anyway, hope all goes well, man.
man, this is the worst part. One has to be a shallow person to lie like that. Hope you get to see your boy many times in the future.
Nice update, Fatty. Damn, it's hell that you had a child with this woman, but there it is. I've got two young ones myself and I can only imagine what you're going through. Maintain your cool and, with luck, things will work out. That was a great moment you had with your son, when he wanted to be with you. You must have felt like a million bucks. It sux that they moved so far away, but you are doing what you can. Nothing is more important than your relationship with him. Hang in there.
At face value, this is the same thing that happens in Texas. There is no "quid pro quo". In other words, you failing to pay child support does not give the mother the right to withhold visitation and the mother withholding visitation does not give you the right to withhold child support. Each parent has to live up to their end of the bargain set up in the custody decree regardless of what the other parent does. If a parent does not adhere, then the other has to go through the court system to make it right.
Dude, File on them, and then ask them for the receipt at the Dr office for that visit. Then tell them that you want to see the insurance claim for that visit. Then FRY THEIR BUTTS in court. They have no right to keep you from your son. DaDakota PS. You really need to fight for your boy, the years go by faster than you can imagine and soon he won't want to hang out with his dad.
Appreciate the thoughts DD. I'm fighting as much as is possible. Anyone who has had a child willingly kept away from them knows what I'm talking about. I've also talked to a lot of people about this. Just about everyone older than I am by a few years says that these maneuvers will come back and haunt my ex. We shall see.
Seriously.... Roseanne and Disney? There hasn't been a combination that bad since "Perfect Strangers".
Hang in there Fatty, I feel your pain. I have 2 kids and my gripe is the opposite. My ex has primary custody, I pay child support and have them on my insurance, but I have them half of the time if not more. I pick them up from daycare everyday and coach them in what every they play, on her weekend I call them and talk to them. I have been documenting the days I have them and what she does and what I do. She sometimes threatens me that she is going to move out of town if I get on to her about the things she does with kids. I don't know what I would do if I could not see them as I do now. Just keep up the fight and don't give up.
