Just need to vent about my ex.

He and his wife of 6 years decide to separate two weeks before Christmas. I got NO notice that my son would be with me full time. After arguing, he finally ackowledges he needs to pay child support(already filed for a hearing). My poor kid is crushed, devastated, crying... The ex seems to think this is a 3-4 month "situation".

Venting issue: My son had dental surgery in September. I've talked with him and his wife since then about their half of the bill, which is $302.

It's now in collections. In my name, of course. They never paid it. My ex had the nerve to tell me he's had "other things" on his mind. I called the wife, she texted me back and said anything I ever talked about with her should now go to him. She also blocked my e-mail account (She handles the finances and I've discussed them with her for 6 years).

I'm seriously dabating taking his ass back to court and charging him with contempt.

I would do it Lilith, just because of the statement that he had "other things on his mind" which shows he doesn't consider his son's welfare a priority.

Good luck! flowerforyou

It never fails to amaze me what people will do to children. I would take him back to court. I hear stories like this and I am glad there was never an ex I had to deal with.

She probably is so done that she doesn't want to deal with anything from him and I am sure your child has built a relationship with her also and now that is gone.

Well, my ex started a thing with her when my son was only 10 months old, they had their first kid while we were still married. He is crushed.... but still doesn't know it's over.

I think he stepped out on her too. I'm guessing by her refusing to talk to me it's over. I even tried to talk to her about a toy my son left at her mother's house and she refused to discuss that either.

My ex is such a freaking loser. I think he is a Dyck too. Wicked Dyck.

Lilith, I don't think you have any other choice but to get this crap in front of a judge and I don't know the laws there, but you may also have cause to file with police if he fails to show up for visitations or refuses to abide by the decree, which means he could have to also face a grand jury. I wish you and your son well.

The agreement says he is required to pay 50% of all medical expenses not covered by insurance. I plan to call Friday to see if he has paid. If not, I'm filing for contempt.

I don't care if he has a lot on his mind. He ruined my son's Christmas. He's impacting my credit. He'll have a lot more on his mind. After the contempt I'm filing for custody back (we do 50/50 now) because I'm sick and tired of his lies.

I even offered for him to do mid-week visits at my house as he is staying with his mother 45 minutes away. He did take him over Christmas,but for over a week never saw him.

I'm thinking, how many parents think of there children in terms of "situations"? I mean, come on, LIFE is a "situation".:wink:

With that said, my concerns doesn't lie with this non descript excuse of a mere mortal

My concern lies with you and your son. From what I've seen Lil,,your a smart, warm, loving Mom. Take care of you and your precious child. Be honest with him, because shelter will only cause him future harm. Pffft,,not like he doesn't "feel" his Dad's "distraction"

Dad needs to be held responsible for his actions,,,take him to court and protect your good name.

Ohh thank you both, Fran and Peekin...

I am just so sad this has gotten to where it is. Sadly, I am so expecting him to give me a line as to why he didn't pay the bill. And to blame me for charging him with contempt. All my failt, blah blah blah.... He did it to me once for a lot less of an issue. Years ago.... and threatens it all the time. Not sure why I'm even hestitating.

That's because you have been through this with him before and are sure you know how he'd react.

I still stand by protect your credit worthiness, before it lowers your score. Pay it if you have to but file for contempt before you do.

My credit isn't so hot anyhow, due to our divorce. laugh

That's not the issue. The issue is he does not care about anyone but himself. And denies it so vehemently when his actions belie him.

Oh no... I won't let him walk over me. I just let him do enough to show I'm not as petty as he is and that I gave him chances before I went to the courts. That is a part of our agreement. He chooses not to follow it, but I do.

Thank you for your support.
