Ballerfamily Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 (edited) My ex has denied me visitation this wkend for the 14th time in 1 yr and 2 months with my 8 yr old son. She has custody of him. To date: 1. filed contempt charges for me being in arrears in temporary 2. Final divorce granted July 16, 2010 3. I was fighting in court without a good lawyer. Money was scarce and still is. I work part time earning $1500 a month 4. Since July 16, I have paid on time and added 20% to arrearage each month. 5. on a drunk one wkend, she allowed me to keep son 1 extra day. That Mon, since I didnt answer phone and had sent a few texts about her parading her bf in front of my son, had me thrown in jail for aggravated menacing and telecommunications harrasment. It cost me borrowing $6000 to get out on bail since judge made bail $100,000. Never uttered one threatening word, and the charges were thrown out. Ive never had any violations in 25 yrs of marriage. She refuses to drop contempt charges, and continues using my son as a pawn. Told her today that I had to work late, and would pick son up at 9 pm. she texts back and says have nice wkend, good bye. She insists I pick him up at 6 pm which is impossible.(when she does let me have him) anything later messes up the party nite. She makes me sick to my stomache What can I do to stop this? file contempt charges against her? is it worth it? Or is it a waste of time? The price for exposing a narcisstic cheating woman. My oldest 19 yr old son can't stand to see her, and lives with me. Edited November 5, 2010 by Ballerfamily
Owl Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 Is there ANY kind of free legal advice in your area that you could turn to? Seems to me that a lawyer versed in custody/divorce laws in your state is the only real source of info you could rely on to deal with all of this.
Author Ballerfamily Posted November 5, 2010 Author Posted November 5, 2010 are county court system is so biased. My ex is a cheater(5 x's that I know of) partyer, drunk, alcoholic, etc and she gets custody. I am at my wits end trying to make ends meet and be there for my poor kids who are heartbroken. Do I just smile and forgive and someday(maybe when he is 12) i will get my time? I can't afford to waste time,energy, money on this battle anymore. I'm exhausted, and trying to be there for my kids. She zaps the strength rite out of me.
GorillaTheater Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 Whether or not you have the money or energy to go after her now, you probably will in the future. So at a minimum keep documenting everything in case you need it. Strength, brother.
