+1 From what little I knowc child support trumps spousal maintenance. Failure to pay will land you both in trouble, but could possibly land her more in trouble, but only if you can make it happen. Get a lawyer.

Agreed with the above replies. I usually am an advocate of 50-50 parenting, but in your case you need to defend your right as the mother. Be careful. Keep ample documentation of the active roll you have. Make sure your daughter flourishes under your care in both the educational and medical...

I'm so sorry for the kid. Are you the Mother? Why don't you gon pick him up? I suggest you do report him to the police, but seriously consider my questions above. If the mother is around, shw should step up to the plate.

OP, I do want to point out you are free to move, however, the courts have to decide what will happen to your child. I would strongly suggest you get a lawyer. If you move with the child without proper legal permission and Dad fights it, you may lose custody. If Dad is an involved parent, your...

+1... Document before going the contempt route. As for Parental Alienation, believe me I'm there with you. I am living through that hell right now. I just read somewhere and have been told by lawyers that it's best not to brand it like such in court. Rather, let the other parents actions...

Ouch! File for the immediate termination. Call the child support office and inquire if they can place a stop on the child support. As others have mentioned, you are SOL when it comes to the 15 years of overpayment. It was your responsibility to stop it.

Wait, I just reread the part about you losing custody. What happened? What measures have you taken to better yourself to be a good mother to your children? I hope you have done some soul searching. Look, the above plan can help you regain some of the lost parenting time. However, it must be...

I am sorry you are going through this. First, stop calling it Parental Alienation as it's frawned upon in family law/court. Call it custodial interference or custodian.witholding the child. What does your court order say about times you can have your child? When do you get possession of your...

At this time, you have to follow the court order, which I take was driven by CPS. If you take away the fact that there are foster parents, you are left with two parents. In most custody situations, there is a paragraph that states you should not talk bad about the other parent in front of the...

You seem to have followed in a wrong way of thought. You are free to go wherever you want. Your kids, on the other hand, are supposed to live in the jurisdiction of the last court order. If you don't have any, it's still usually infer that you are to stay in the same state (sometimes county)...

You dropped the ball, yet there may still be hope. You need to hire a lawyer and establish a court ordered parenting time. Based on her recent past, you should get primary. The problem is that the recent past is quickly becoming history. DO NOT WAIT ANY LONGER! Get an attorney today, file, and...

Reread your decree. Mine says each parent has the independent right to give the child medical care when needed. I take my kids to the pediatrician that has taken care of them since birth. My ex takes them to her family doctor.

Thanks, I kind of figure I need to keep recording this for longer. I do have access to their records when I bypass her. The thing that i meant was that I don't have them at a convenient times to take them to doctor visits and therapy. I offered to take then, but she has denied me the access to...

5 and 6, both in Kindergarten. In TX, once enrolled (and if older than 6), the attendance is compulsory. BTW, atrendance is not too b ad this year. Main thing with ex is lack of honework support, not taking them to tutoring (they are both way behind their peers), not allowing me access to get...

Thanks Mighty. I have reached out to several non-profits and have taken classes for parents of children with ASD. I just have limited choices on what I can do with an uncooperative ex. It's been really frustrating.

I wanted to get some feedback on the options available to parents when their kids are misbehaving and not doing well in school. Ex and I divorced Fall of 2012. It's been a year, yet not much has changed. My oldest son had nearly 30 absences at school last year and had a low homework...

Absolutely. Follow the order to the letter as your husband, the custodial parent, can get into a lot of trouble for witholding visits. This can be used against him to reverse custody, but thats probably far-fetched. What does the order say? I would arrange to do the exchange at a police...

What state do you, the child, and the mother reside? This may play a big factor as laws vary across state lines. I do believe that there is more to parenting then blood. You have 2 years of 50-50 status quo. Thus, you have legal standing as the father, albeit maybe not biological. I aploud...

It depends on your state actually. I think TX has a 2 year status of limitations, but then again this is family court so judges have been known to deviate. I would keep quiet and hope for the best.
