mitch114, Are you having trouble including a quote in your replies? This is the third post of yours (that I have seen) that appears as if you are cutting & pasting the entirety, or portions, of other people's replies. It seems odd. Just checking.

Are you saying that it is possible to challenge the custodial parent's ability to financially support the child? Or does said parent need to seek financial support from the non-custodial parent in order for this to be an issue? Thanks.

Forgive me if this is a "duh" question but would it be advisable for her to not name him on the birth certificate?

needmydaughter, It is kind of comforting knowing that I'm not alone - but also maddening that other Moms are going through this hell. I wish I knew what to do to change things. I wish I could find a voice & the money to go back to court. This is sick & unjust! So many can see what the court...

Thanks for the support. Sometimes I feel so useless. My daughter doesn't understand why we just can't change things but she does, unfortunately, understand that she has to be very careful about what she says to her dad so as not to make him angry. It breaks my heart & she has developed a...

Thanks. It is just so infuriating that I have to just sit here &wait for him to screw up while my daughter is being raised by her step mother & in constant fear of her father. Nothing is fair about this & the court system is so screwed up! What happened to "under penalty of perjury"? It is a...

So does anyone know if his inability to prove legitimate income will help me to be granted a custody modification?? I had suspected but my daughter just informed me that she saw daddy smoking & found his cigarettes in the freezer. He didn't smoke when we were together. My Dad died of lung...

It is clear to me that you are in the right. Her Thurs-Sun argument has NO merit & is simply manipulative. In other words, a load of crap! Who's she trying to kid with, ? The traveling is hers not his. I don't see how it would increase his travel at all. You've seemed to be pretty...

I believe, operative word believe, that it is NOT either-or. If legal custody paperwork is filed & contested, with what SEEMS to require a new school, traveling, etc. The court may order that you be in one place or the other BUT... I think there are a few things going on here: - It is a big...

I really don't think it is fair to question her about 'why she got involved with this guy in the first place'. I had a great relationship with my father. My past relationships were with relatively;) sane men (I'm married to a gem of a human being!). I didn't know that I would become...

My jurisdiction is: Maryland Hi. My daughter is 7. I left her father in the Fall of 04. He was verbally & emotionally abusive to me. For the first 6+ mths she lived with me & he came & took her when he wanted to (just like that). I was back to work after 2+ yrs & didn't have much of...
