My DH's family still act like he's married to his Ex. His family all live abroad, where DH met the Ex and they lived for a couple of years before moving to The States. So his family got the chance to know her, but not me. I have spoken to his mum twice. They call him every week or two and almost every call, all they do is talk about her. (He puts the phone on speaker, so I can't help but hear). Sometimes they talk to her more than they talk to him. I know they will always be in contact with The Ex because of my SD.
Heres the situation, my sons BM has never really been a part of his life, before we divorced she never had time for him and couldn't wait for me to get home at the end of the day so she could head out the door to party with her friends. After the divorce, she cared even less about him. I have primary custody and she has court ordered supervised visits, which she has not taken advantage of for at least two years. Thats right, she hasn't seen him in at least two years, no phone calls on his b-day, christmas, nothing at all.
In my mid-20's, I never thought I'd end up with someone who was divorced with a small child. Dealing with The Ex and a stepdaughter is so much harder than I dreamed it would be (not that I thought it would be easy, but you know how things are--sometimes you have to experience them before you fully understand them).
Has anyone gone through this?
We have 50/50 for placement and support payments.
The Bio mom is taking the Bio dad back to court for 100% placement and support payments due to the fact the child does not want to come back to our house because we have too many rules.
I believe the child does not have a choice unless she is emancipated and the Bio mom is in contempt of the courts by letting her make a parental decision such as choosing who to live with full-time.
Okay, I'm new to being a step-mom with partial custody. We, my DH and I, have very full work days so we've just let the BM have the two boys for the weeks and we had them on weekends. Things changed a month and a half ago due to the 10 year old failing 4th grade and BM not saying a word to us about it (she never told us about the report card or anything). We assumed everything was fine with the 10 year old until a letter arrived from the teacher.
This is so random, but I just saw on CNN that Anna Nicole Smith is dead!
Has this ever happened to anyone?;My DH ex is trying to get whatever $$ she can out of us. We got custody of SS in July,and she was mad because that stopped CS payments.../.we were overpaying her anyways, and some of the surplus was put towards past due support,we had past due support owed because we were seeking modification , now we only have a small amount that is past due, and we have $69.00 taken out of DH paychecks to pay it off....this really pissed her off,She wanted alot more, it is a court order and we thought everything was all set.
I am new to this, only found this forum today..SD recently moved in with us we have never gotten along unfortunately for everyone concerned.SD has special needs and then some. Everyone excuses her poor behaviour because of it, she's never really held accountable..She works her Dad like a violin and everyone else to boot..only nice when she gets everything her way, otherwise she's a real pain.
This morning my Dh and his Ex went together to register their daugther for grade one. That doesn't bother me. It just got me thinking...how awful divorce is. Here is a milestone in your childs life and you are doing it with an ex. Someone you don't really like any longer. There's no excitement for the child together. Yes, you are happy for your child but you are spending that moment with someone you don't care about.
Hi everyone, I'm glad I found this website. I'm about to become a stepmom to a 10 month old beautiful boy. The mother lost custody of the baby, because she was unfit, and violated alot of court orders and has harrassed both me and my fiance for over a year. I needed some advice.
I'm a little nervous, I don't want to overstep my boundaries, because he does have a mom. How do you adjust to this incredible change. I know its a blessing I just feel a little overwhelmed and nervous.
