Still in the war actually......Sad but true.
The ex decided to take me to court for violating a court order on visitation. Basically she wanted to see my younger son Adam on mother's day and I couldn't get the day off. She refused to come get him, so I really didn't do anything wrong. I decided it was time to quit screwing around...so I put all my cards on the table and I am trying to get her visitation stopped. When I risk criminal charges because I can't get the day off from work....it's time to make some noise. Anyhow, in court they reduced her visitation down to one weekend a month, slapped her for about $500 a month in child support and she has to undergo a psychiatric exam..... She still prefers the one child over the other so now it is incorporated into the visitation that the older boy only has to see her if he wants to... I now have the visitations set up so that she has to come here and pick up, and I return. That way if she doesn't see them she can only blame herself! And I don't have to worry about going to jail.... David |

I wonder what would happen if there was a go to jail situation for the parent who does NOT turn up for the visit. But that would be far to logical. Dennis |

I wonder what would happen if there was a go to jail situation for the parent who does NOT turn up for the visit. But that would be far to logical. No way! If you've got someone who doesn't really want to see the kid, forcing them to would make them resent the kid even more than they already do! Your own actions with Freddie's mom show you totally understand that. It was when my ex felt he was supposed to behave a certain way for appearances' sake that my boys were the most ill-treated. When he saw them occasionally, on his own whims, he was much nicer to them. lm |

Maybe an unworkable suggestion but is there any way that you could sit down with your ex, maybe with an impartial mediator, and work on being friends again? It might help everyone if you could have a cordial relationship. Happy New Year from me anyway. Andrew |
