Things are going to get heated

Kim's picture

My BF's ex-wife has had a history of causing problems for my BF. She tends to use their son as a reason to contact my BF for the most ridiculous reasons. They have been separated for the last four years and divorced for the last two. However, she constantly initiates contact with him and tries to provoke arguments about random things (which seems to be an attention-seeking behavior on her part). The frequency of her behaviors have escalated since I moved here about two months ago.

Legal Question....Candice maybe you know....

Does anyone know how this works…okay so she petitioned the court to get an increase in Child Support…they did the calculations and gave her a $65 a month decrease…she appealed the decrease…and they have been withholding the same amount of money from my husband’s check each month and then they take the $65 and put it in an “escrow” account…now if they decide at a later date that the original calculations stand, he will get the money…however if they decide that the original calculations were incorrect and she should have received an increase…will the penalize him for that and back date it?

Court

We went to court today…they pushed it back two more months…I think it is b/c she didn’t know that my husband had an attorney and she thought that her and her attorney were going to just railroad him…once her attorney found out that my husband had an attorney too, they “needed more time”…Imagine that!

P.S. Lylagaretts surgery is today at 1:00pm Central Standard time...don't forget to pray for her duing this time!

Question: How involve should I be in SS visitation schedule?

Hey gang...just wondering what your answer would be on this question? Should I butt out of the visitation schedule and let my husband deal with it? Ex wife is always changing schedule, like she wants to take son to his games and practices when it is our days. Or take him to a bday party on our day. I get irritated when I see her emails about getting involved on our days. What do you all think? My husband thinks I should leave it up to him.

Bio Son

I hope someone else has had this problem and can help me in dealing w/ it. My boyfriend has 2 daughters (ages 7 and 10) that he adores and is a great father to. My own son's father is basically a derelict who doesn't pay his child support, has spent time in jail, and has the maturity level of a 16 year old. The only contact he has with his son is sporatic visitation, which is always prompted by my son saying he misses his dad and wants to see him (never his dad calling & asking for him).

Advice or Just Plain Input Needed Badly

Okay, I need some input or advice! My mind is going crazy right now. I'm worried about surgery on Wednesday! Worried about my hubby and son and how they are going to be while I am down after surgery! Now, the ex-wife and her friends are causing trouble on my personal blog. (I think I mentioned this fact in another entry.) Anyway, they are threatening to contact DHS due to my letting my son read my blog. They are also threatening a slander lawsuit. First of all what kind of people can be so cruel?
