[quote=Anonymous]My ex and I have an 11-year-old child.  I have had 100% custody since the day he was born because my ex did not want to do any parenting.  We never got a court order (we weren't married) but our son has been with me 100% of the time.  He didn't spend one single night with his father in 11 years.  We even live in the same building because I thought it would make it easier for my ex to see his son if they only had an elevator ride between them.  During all this time, he has only paid the amount of child support he deems is fair which is about $400/month.  He hasn't had a real job despite his advanced degrees since 2011 when he got laid off.

After 11 years he took me to court to seek joint legal custody and visitation. He does not want any physical custody per his complaint.  In his complaint, he admits I was the one taking care of our son all this time and calls me a loving mother.  He just wants to see him on Sundays for a fun playtime. That is all he is asking for (which he already has BTW). However, he wants joint legal custody.  So this joker wants me to do all of the hard work of parenting but have a say in how I do it.  He doesn't want to nor has he EVER gone to a parent-teacher conference, doctor's appt, therapist appt., but he does want a say in all of this.

Unreal!  OK vent over.
