[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Putting the kids first does not mean they get everything the kids and ex wife ask for financially, timewise, or otherwise.

Divorce is not some sort of unlimited ATM or guarantee that your precious snowflake will be put on a pedestal the rest of their life.

If the ex says it's in the kids best interest to go on an expensive trip, and that trip is not feasible because DH can barely pay his mortgage, that does not mean he's not putting his kid first.

Of course not.  I don't think anyone is suggesting that this scenario would be reasonable.  And a court wouldn't think so either.

But an ex who travels with his new family and does not include his own kids?  Or ever travel with his own kids?  Yeah, that person sucks.[/quote]

Or, maybe dad wants to take the kids but is limited to every other weekend visits and mom refuses to give dad more time.  My husband's ex would not allow visits or even to allow the kids to come to the wedding (she told them they were not invited when we offered to cover full costs from flights to clothing).  Going to court for long distance visitation is a joke - court orders it, mom refuses, go back to court, mom agrees but then doesn't put kids on the plane, back to court... repeat.
