[quote=Anonymous]There are at least two sides.  Here are the facts:

1) Baby born
2) Mother moved away
3) Father has had minimal contact since then

Here are additional claims:

1) Father claims to have been involved before the mother moved (I have no reason to question this claim either way)
2) Father is paying 3500 in child support (that seems unrealistically high)

Everything else is people blathering back and forth.

What I know, though, is the mother moved to CA making it difficult for father to see child.  (In my divorce proceedings, my wife could move from VA, but would lose her alimony if she did -- which is about 6K per month (28% of my gross salary).  Child support would continue, and it is about 1100/mo., reduced from higher because I get credit for her health insurance).

I see my daughter 3 nights a week and every other weekend.  My apartment is actually closer to her school than our house.

To me, the bottom line is:  someone was a schmuck:  either the mom for moving away from an involved father, or the father for not being involved.

Even after the move, the father could plan vacations around seeing the kid.  That is what I do (even though we are local).

For me, this would be a huge red flag.  [/quote]
