  • Posted on April 13, 2011 at 5:22 pm

the other day my wife and i got into a fight, so I left and took the kids two blocks up to the park, I was there for a half hour, My wife called my ex best friend and asked him to come get her to go look for me because she thought I had been drinking before I left (Though I had’nt.) So he came to get her and before he did he took it upon himself to call the police and tell them that i was driving drunk with my children, when I got home she was not there so I put the kids to bed and went downstairs and had 3 shots of vodka to calm down, then went outside to have a cig. while I was outside, maybe ten mins after I got home my daughter came running outside because someone was pounding on the door. It was a police officer, Incidently the same cop that has been harassing me on a daily basis for weeks for one thing after another. anyhow he said that he had been told that i was driving with my kids while drunk. and he could smell vodka. so he arrested me for a dui out of my home. Does anyone have any legal advice whatsoever because I really dont know much about this stuff.
Thank you

Losing child to drunk driver.?

  • Posted on April 2, 2011 at 5:23 pm

Yesterday, I was reading a week old newspaper that arrived in the mail from my old hometown. My ex lives there along with my only child a daughter who was to graduate this coming June 2007.

As I do everytime i get this paper I read every page saving the obit’s or the last. It’s a small town and thus paper isn’t more than 20 pages including classified ads.

I get to the last page which contains the obit’s and first thing i see is a picture of my daughter and her obituary, she was killed in a traffic accident, the funeral was held and lists various family members including me and date and time the funeral was held.

I was in total shock I was and still am numb, but getting more furious by the minute that i wasn’t notified of my daughter’s death.

I feel like driving the 120 miles to this small town jerking my ex and her husband out of their house and beating their butts into the ground for not giving me the courtesy of so much as a phone call.
Am I wrong to feel this way?
My ex fought both my daughter and I for years about us having a close relationship, always accusing us of loving each other more than her. We’ve been close since she was born and had to hide our communications and visits with each other from her mother.

My wife has a child with a guy that she was with before we got together.?

  • Posted on March 29, 2011 at 7:20 pm

What i am trying to figure out is he is getting out of prison for making meth. she wants to let him see her daughter i think he should have to get out for a few months and prove himself that he is not going back to his old ways before we let him get involved and hurt her feelings.

I’m suing my ex for back child support but he wants to sue me back for custody. Does he have a chance?

  • Posted on March 21, 2011 at 7:21 pm

I am in the process of taking my deadbeat ex to court for over 6 years of unpaid child support. During the time we’ve been divorced, he has never paid me a penny in support, nor has he contributed in any way to the ongoing medical bills for our daughter or our disabled son. He sees them every other weekend, but is otherwise not involved in their lives in any meaningful way. He doesn’t come to their school events, attend birthday parties, or take any interest in their well being, especially if it requires any effort on his part. He has also been unemployed for over 4 years, but this past spring, his mom died & left him a huge sum of money (about 200k), ALL of which he has managed to blow through in just under 6 months, without using any of it to pay any of his support arrears or put any aside for the kids future. This was the last straw & I finally saved up enough for a lawyer & am suing him for contempt.

Since he has been served the papers, he has been making remarks to our daughter that lead me to believe he is going to try and paint me as an unfit mother & maybe try to get custody of them, purely out of spite. I am a hardworking mother who has worked up to 3 jobs to keep a roof over their heads & food on the table. I have no history of drug use, abuse, or any other lifestyle that might be damaging to the kids; they are safe, happy, and well cared for. Yet I know how sneaky he is & I still worry because I am unfamiliar with the legal system. Does he have any chance at all of getting custody of children that he’s never helped to support? He has lots of questionable things in his past (heroin addiction, unpaid loans, bankruptcy, and more). No court would ever think he’s a more capable parent than I am…or would they? Hoping for some peace of mind…thanks in advance.

When do you give your adult child a dead line on getting a job?

  • Posted on March 20, 2011 at 5:20 am

I have a 21 year old Step Daughter who has recently been in and out of jail. She is a meth user. We have gotten her a sponsor to help her, but she has only contacted her once. She is doing nothing to help herself by getting help or a job. She lays around the house and does not clean up after herself and rarely bathes. She also brings home not so trust worthing people and I have tried to talk to my husband about putting an end to it. And all he says if I don’t let her have her friends over she will leave. What do I do? When my son had a problem we sent him on his way. He has learned to get by and live with the mistakes he has made, but my husband finds it alot different because she is a female. Please help me.

When does a child usually stop drinking off of the bottle as their primary feeding method?

  • Posted on March 11, 2011 at 5:23 pm

My daughter is 12 months but her mother is taking her off of the bottle already and this is driving me NUTS because to me she should still be drinking out of the bottle most of the time.

Help me understand what is the average age please.

Reporting someone to child services?

  • Posted on March 2, 2011 at 1:21 pm

I have been debating with myself whether or not I should report someone to child protective services. I was hoping if I gave ya’ll some insight you might be able to help me make my choice. I know a man who has no problem staying up all night long and doing cocaine while his daughter sleeps in the next room. I also know for a fact that his daughter has seen him having sex with at least a couple different women. He has brough several different girls into his daughter’s life in the past year and sees no problem with it. I also know for a fact that he drives drunk with her in the car and also has done cocaine on his armrest while his daughter sleeps in the back seat.

I want to report him to social services but I don’t want him to know it was me and come after me. He’s hurt me physically before and I’m scared.

I know he needs to be reported but I’m really scared of what he’ll do to me. He’s tried to get me fired from my job several times, etc.
