[quote=Anonymous]I didn't read all 2 pages but this is what I've learned by being in the same position you are right now.

My ex was involved until his new wife came along. Then not at all. I guess the smell of new pussy takes precedence over his DD. She was 8 when he basically fell away with minimal contact. Emotionally, that was devastating on her. It was then that I'd filed for CS. I didn't need it either but I was smart enough to realize I can't predict what my financial abilities would be like like later. It's better to have it than not at all. I put it in a separate account for her and turned a portion over to her when she turned 16 for a car. The rest is in reserve for college.

We did go to counseling because she started withdrawing from everyone and seemed depressed. It came out that she missed her dad and the relationship they used to have.

It's better that he leave now than later. It's better your DS never know him than get attached and feel the loss. You can't MAKE this man be a parent. Even if you could - do you want him to be a Dad under force or do you want him to be a Dad under desire? A Dad under force won't be a positive influence. [/quote]
