can you put a “morality clause” in your divorce papers?

  • Posted on April 6, 2011 at 10:21 pm

I am getting divorced and have a 19 month old daughter, my husband is an alchoholic and drug addict and has many destructive behaviors including skanky, bimbo’s as girlfriends they are part and parcel of his addictions.He is also a pathological liar. I will have sole custody and do not want her exposed to this kind of behavior. The court will probably direct me to give him reasonable visatation . I want to make sure my daughter is not exposed to these things. So far he has not shown up to see her on weekend visits under the influance, but during the week he is out drinking and doing all sorts of crap with these people and expects to show up and play “family” when he comes to see her. He lies about everything and I catch him constantly.He has been informed that he is no longer welcomed in my home or allowed to see the baby untill he gets his act together because I do not want her to think theses things are acceptable behavior. Can I put something in my divorce papers that states this?
Thanks for the answers so far, I know that I will have sole custody because he has already agreed to it. I had to take him to court to get a temporary child support order. I have been documenting stuff for years as a result of his addictions and in reality could have him thrown in jail for some of the things he has done. I am not a vindictive bitch as he seems to think since I stopped allowing him to see the baby, but this has nothing to do with him and I , its about protecting her and trying to ensure that she has as “normal” of a life as possible considering the circumstances. I have been more than fair and extended myself in the hope that we could make the best out of an awful situation for her sake I know about the option of supervised visits, and will do it if all else fails, And in spite of it all I know he loves her and she loves him. I want them to have a relationship. But if he is doing the crap he is doing he can’t be in her life . I guess thats where the clause comes in

I need to file custody papers for my daughter.. how can I go about getting sole custody for minimal cost?

  • Posted on December 15, 2010 at 1:23 pm

My daughter’s father and I broke up almost 3 years ago. We tried to do a joint custody thing but the law firm we went through went under before the papers were filed and now there is nothing legally declaring that she lives with me only. Since we split, he’s been on a downward spiral. He has been in and out of the psych ward at the hospital. I’ve had to call 911 during suicide attempts and have walked in on him shooting up cocaine. He went to rehab and was better for about a month, got a REALLY good job making 50 to 70 thousand a year (talk about second chances). He relapsed, quit his job and moved back to Texas (which is where my daughter and I live) supposedly to go back to rehab. He’s been here for a couple of days but is again doing drugs. He has no address to serve papers to and I have no idea where he is. I know I can put an ad in the newspaper to make him aware of the impending custody arrangements.. can anyone give me a step by step guide on how to do all this? I really need all this taken care of as soon as possible. It would be greatly appreciated.
no no.. my daughter lives with me. There’s just no legal document cementing that as the only place she lives. He has not seen her in over 3 months and has no place of residence. I’m just asking what the steps are to get the papers filed and get sole custody.
her father and I were never married

Hello, I want to get a divorce from my wife who is an active addict and our daughter is in CPS custody. She is happy where she is living and doesn’t want to live with me although I can see her whenever I want. How do I fill out the paperwork where it asks for the child plan? I can’t afford a lawyer right now.
Thanks for any advice

My x has forge my name on adoption papers because she held a resentment against my for leaving her.?

  • Posted on August 22, 2010 at 4:32 pm

One night I’m was riding past the house were my daughter lived and noticed that there were alot of people there . It was around 12 am. I called when i got to a buddies house, I called and ask what the hell was going on and wheres my baby, why is there so many people up there so late and she hung up on me. So i called back with no answer. then she finally answered and we talked for about an hour. Then after calling her by my new girlfriends name by accident, she hung up on me. I tried Back a couple of times and gave up.My buddy Tommy told me he would be a witness for me if anything happened,but i never even got the chance to call him from jail. The next morning I got a call from the police, witch she had been on the phone with the police officer lying like a rug. I told them the truth about what happened and all they said was I was being charge with harassment by communication . I was on probation at the time for some misdemeanor things. My probation officer herd about the incident and put me in jail. So when I finally get to court . I plead no contest, bad decision at the time because I was going to do time anyway for the violation. She had no proof or phone records, of coarse to prove her case. Then the judge told me if i ever was to go around her again i was doing serious jail time .There was never any mention about use having a child together. I had no one on my side while she had her dad and sister sitting and grinning when i walked into the court room. I felt so worthless and depressed when i finally got out I continued feeding my depression, self medicating If you will.I tried calling anybody and everywhere, but no one could give me any answers or help. This was about the time I tried committing suicide. I swallowed about 30 trazadone sleeping pills followed by a fifth of vodka. Well the x was not worried she got married 2 years after we broke up and they came into some money some how and ask the courts for an adoption. They got it because they said I signed my rights away. I DID NOT!!!!! I was never notified, never mailed any thing. They cannot say either they knew not my whereabouts because adult probation found me and always I had current addresses for them, from 1989 to 2002. She also knew this. because her sister and mother would always call him, my probation officer, and try getting me thrown in jail. Threw all this I am trying to battle depression, anxiety,alcoholism,the loss of my daughter. I was a mess. No one would help me not even my parents.About 2 years later When I was twenty nine years old my parental rights were taken from me with out my knowledge. by a vengeful X pulling some shifty crap. I have tried everything in my power to seek help looking every were asking everybody, but with out thousands of dollars for a lawyer no one will help me. If I were a women this would not be an issue. I’m sure I would find help right away. I have told my story to just about everybody I know and they all agree I got screwed. Can someone out there give me some advice or some kind of resource or somebody i can contact for help. Please help if you can but this is a very serious issue I will never give up on.Over the next 11 yrs I just about gave up.The only thing that kept me from laying across the railroad tracks was the determination to right this wrong.
Presently I have taken steps to Improve my live and change it for the better. I don’t drink, smoke, do drugs, I have recently been diagnosed with P.T.S.D also a social anxiety. I see a therapist once a week and follow my doctors treatment regiment to the letter. I know in my heart i will see her one day again and hold my baby girl
