First mom thought she had those things too. Time will tell! |
The children are not to blame for the mom cheating. The mom is not to blame for dad being too lazy or unwilling to get 50/50 custody. It is illegal to leave the house let alone the state let alone the country. A man who does not have 50/50 custody did not care enough to get it, even if he is deployed. There are laws to protect deployed soldiers. You can't just up and leave while someone is deployed. |
Unless you were dating when they were married you were not there when they 1st divorced, so you were not in court. If dad wanted 50/50 custody he could have gotten it, but dad's don't want to ... they are too busy or lazy for their children. |
He went to court. I didn't know him then. He had kid at 26 divorced at 28. I met him when he was 42. Does that help you fool. |
Her and her probably drove the poor man away. Feel sorry for her dad. No wonder he got a new family. |
Yes. Make total sense that a 28 year old man did not feel equipped to care for a 2 year old and did not fight for 50/50 custody. Happens all the time. |
He asked for joint custody and asked the woman to stay in the US. She refused and didn't want to stay in the US. Perhaps them don't have babies with soldiers. Oh but wait alimony and pension too good to pass. |
I’d leave the country to stay with my kid. I’d ask for a discharge from the military. I would do anything. Whatever it took. It’s your CHILD. Wouldn’t you? |

I asked you a simple question that you clearly are scared to answer. If someone took your child away from you, what would you do. I’m not talking about staying married. I’m asking what you would do if someone absconded with your child to another country. I think you’re a good mother. I think you’d do whatever it took. Give up your job, move out of the US, whatever you had to do. Because you love your kids. |
In what dream world are you living in. Many dad's try but every state and every judge does things differently and often it's not 50-50. Many dad's want their kids and want to parent. Many dad, especially enlisted military cannot afford expensive drawn out attorney battles. If a mom doesn't want the dad to see the kids, there are few things a judge will do except in a rare situation. And, at some point, it's not healthy for the dad to continue to fight as mom will take it out on the kids. Kids cannot complain if they or the mom choose not to have dad in their life. If mom's just want the child support and refuse visitation, sometimes that's the best dad can do. That doesn't make him a bad father. After so many court hearings and exhausting every dime you have, what then? Mom's get free support for child support but there is no free support or an office to go to and if Mom moved the kids out of the state, Dad then has to fly out for every court hearing and even to file which is expensive. |
Even if you give up your job and follow the other parent, they still may not let you see the kids and how will you pay child support let alone your own basic necessities without a job. And, with military you cannot exactly walk away from your job. |
So he sought a discharge? He tried to immigrate to her country? He tried to get a job there? |
My husband had joint custody and his ex refused to allow the visits. He flew out there, he bought plane tickets for the kids per the order and she refused both. He'd go to court and the court would reorder visits, on a few occasions make up visits and she'd refuse those visits or even to let him see the kids while he was out there for court. He'd call the police and they'd say go back to court. The court would say, you need to follow the order. She'd agree, then not allow it, repeat. |
I live in reality, where moms find the money and make any and every sacrifice they need to have their kids in their life. You live on the Isle of Evil Stepmom, where kids are to blame for dads giving up easily. |
