[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kid is probably feeding off your wish for child not to go anymore.  There are no signs of abuse or neglect so you aren't going to have a strong case.  Kids can tantrum for the other parents benefit.  You need to support Dad vs. showing a clear divide and allowing the behavior to happen.  Child knows he can tantrum, act up and you give in.

Offer Dad no child support for no visits.  You don't want Dad involved so he shouldn't have the financial burden if you are taking his rights away.

Otherwise, you start reducing time, at some point you will use it as an excuse to terminate all contact and visits and child will lose their father.  If you are ok with that, go for it but you should take the full financial burden if he's no longer Dad.

Some of the behavior is probably because of you.[/quote]

How kind of you to assume all of these things. I actually assume the financial cost for our kid ALONE. Dad is supposed to pay, doesn't, I'm tired of fighting, don't even care anymore. Yes, I know there's legal recourse, it's just not worth it spending the rest of my life fighting with someone who won't pay for the most basic needs for their children.

I make sure DC knows that dad loves them and that they should go there. But thanks again for your enlightening, wonderful post. [/quote]
