Long rant for a long ass day....My 11 year old son doesn't want go with his dad as much as he does anymore and let's just say what could have been a simple conversation, turned to a complete mess. God knows what's to come. I refuse to feel the pain of sending him somewhere he doesn't want to be. His dad is a good parent but impossible to talk to. I know my son is well taken care of over there and they love him dearly. He also has two sisters at his dads and they are close as well. But my son is determined to spend more time with me and our family. I won't ever ignore my children's feelings! No matter who it hurts! When my children open up to me, it's my job as a mother to listen and fix the problem. I would do anything for my babies... point blank! As far as custody goes, we went through a lawyer 8 years ago and came to an agreement that I get him 4 nights and he gets him 3 nights a week. So almost half and half. He pays $170 monthly for child support (and always complains about it) He seems to think because we legally made an agreement in 2009 that it can never be changed but it can. I'm new to all this so if anyone has any legal advice or tips, it would be greatly appreciated.
At a certain age the kid can choose but it depends on state also i hope that maybe his dad would be understanding an maybe hear his son out an just not drag it threw court but usually thats never the case so if your son says to the attorney what he said to you an your lucky enough to be in a state that allows the kid to make a choice in his parental rights an hes at the age
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Mommas who are separated from their childrens dad. If my sons father is to get our son every other Friday-Sunday, but then tells me halfway through the week he can't take him Friday until Saturday due to taking up an optional shift at work, can I legally tell him he either takes him Friday at his ordered time or doesn't get him? He's constantly cancelling whole weekends or taking our son a quarter of his ordered time. He also isn't following the meets on the order. Almost every Sunday he has him...
@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if this answers your question but this is my answer.
My son is 7 and he knows race and color. Why? Because he himself comes from a family that is multi racial and because he has already experienced racism. I also believe as his mother it’s my job to teach him color and the cold hard truth about society. He knows what’s going on in this world. I’d be hurting him if I allowed him to blindly walk out...
Question. I just left my husband for cheating and now hes been harassing me. Hes threatening to come get our son. I dont care if he sees his son but I'm not comfortable with him leaving with him bc hes never taken care of him a day In his life and he might use him against me. Am I wrong for feeling this way??
Just so mad at my husband before we moved he promised he would put our son to bed at night and get him his bottle. Then promised that on the mornings he doesn't work or the ones he works later he would feed him breakfast so I can have my relax time before having him all day long. Then every morning he is here he says he's not going to get him breakfast because he doesn't want to and sits there telling me to go make and feed our son breakfast. Then every time I remind him of his promise he rolls ...
@wafflez I believe the the age here is 14... We r in New Mexico. It's a tough situation now because his dad made it about himself and starting crying to my son. And now my son is on a huge guilt trip because he hurt his dads feeling. I told him it's not about him, it's about our son and his feelings. I do appreciate that his father cares so much that he would cry and put up a fight to see him enough but what about how he feels? Since he was a baby we had this agreement and I basically made my son go because he was too young to choose but now that he can express himself, it's hard as a mother to just say, "you have to go" I dont think his dad wants to involve courts because he is scared they will higher child support. I told him he doesn't even have to pay me, I just want my son to be happy and comfortable where he is. But your right I hope he chooses to listen to my son and go off of that. Thanks girl. Sorry for rambling... Lol when it comes to ur kids we get feisty!
