Please see comments, below:
i haven't finished reading all of the comments as of yet but let me get started in replying... my CURRENT gf and i have been together STRONGLY for a little over a year now and talk about marrige OFTEN...
Which is good.
while my sons mother on the other hand seems to be heavy in the dating sceen, Myspace temp dating apparently...but that is her choice...
Which is IRRELEVANT. Keep your focus, don't diverty energies into tangents where there can be no return. As you said, her choice. If it's not harming your son, leave it be.
all the money i could give her is spent on rent-a-cars and gas and she knows this...
Still doesn't change the fact that she's not getting the money she thinks she needs (more on this, below).
i will not move back close to her cause she is CRAZY and has made attempts to have my car stolen and has damaged my vehicle on many occasions (yes i have police reports)...
OK, so she's a bit psychotic. I'll refrain from gender bashing here...
She gets money when i have enough to spare, but she does get money, just NOT AS MUCH AS SHE MAY WANT
Uh, SPARE? This is a responsibility just like rent or your electric bill. Whether you agree with it or not, you need to make that an extremely high priority.
THIS GIRL IS SPOILED ROTTON AND NEEDS NO CASH....
Uh, again, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to pay some form of support for your son. Whether you think she needs it or not is irrelevant. As tough as that is to swallow, that's the truth. And it's also important to note that you need to be able to provide an example that you've acted in good faith. Excuses and good faith rarely go hand in hand.
her brother is the TOP Account Executive for Country Wide Home Loans IN THE NATION and makes $2+ MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR AND GIVES THEM EVERYTHING THEY WANT and NEED...
Your point being? Look - she is not his responsibility. Neither is your son. It doesn't matter if her last name is Buffet or Gates - you're the father. As unfair as you think that might be, that's the reality of it and you need to quit fighting it, accept it, and deal with it.
i understand that it is no one elses job to take care of my son...
Agreed
but you know what...im not asking for coustody..im asking to be a father.... also...dont get it twisted...she is a Great Mom.... but she is a PSYCO ^%$*&^
Not sure what to say there. As long as the child is being cared for, I'm not sure how relevant that is.
as well on the same token. when i say that i cant provide much...i mean she gets what i have... buying fish and everything else are gifts from my GF...i dont spend a $ on it... seriously not a penny... she pays for everything... dont believe me...ask ANYONE who saw me at RAP... she is in Dentristy and can afford my expensive hobbies...which luckly in this case have turned into HER HOBBY as well...
Seems to me you have some very good reasons to be happy... Why not funnel some of that energy into dealing with this situation?
BUT i will not allow her to support my son, he is not her responcibility in any case even though she does provide sometimes AGAINST MY WILL if his mother is being that stupid. if it wasnt for my GF now, i would be in such a bind...she helps with EVERYTHING including with rent and my car AND my son on top of that....
If you ever get tired of her, send her my way.
In all seriousness, I'm about that way with my wife. I've given her the world on a silver platter, but it ain't enough. My self esteem has taken a beating over the years, however even through all that, I still think I'm a good husband, provider and father, and believe that my wife is lucky to have me. What she seems to show you is more than just financial, it appears to be a general kindness and compassion - something sorely missing in todays world IMO.
also let me say that when my car IS working and not being damaged by the Psyco...
Make sure to bring up those police reports during your divorce proceedings. Not sure how much it will help, however it is something worth mentioning.
i am a Sr. Loan Officer in the Mortgage business and work down in San Diego, in the process of transfering up here... I cant live in PALMDALE and do the work i do cause the split is $#!T and i make NO CASH...so i travel a long way for a shiny quarter, and when i am getting paid...SHE GETS BANK. wage garnishment is out of the question...i am SELF EMPLOYED and file 1099.... i make what i want when i want... if i wanted to downsize while im in the office during the court proceedings and make it look like i make $600 a month...that can be done...
"Hello. I'm your wife's attorney. Thank you for providing me with such valuable information. I appreciate that you did it in a PUBLIC FORUM for all to see. I also appreciate you posting what appears to be a physical threat to her. These days, that might even add up to a terrorist threat..."
You need to KNOCK THAT OFF!
Venting is one thing. Not thinking and sticking your foot in your mouth PUBLICLY is another.
Seriously. Knock it off. I know this is a hard situation, but it would appear your actions are totally based on emotion and without thought.
since my car has been acting up, i have been @ a horrible disadvantage here...WHEN I WORK...she gets HER CUT and she makes sure of it...
You need an attorney. Plain and simple.
what i think that some of you are thinking that i have an issue, like i dont want to pay, but i just want to see my son...WRONG... i WANT to go to court...i WANT to have a set ammount to pay each month... and i ALSO WANT TO SEE MY SON WITHOUT HAVING TO JUMP THROUGH HER LOOP HOLES WHEN EVER SHE IS ON HER RAG*!...
Although I can appreciate your feelings, frankly I was a bit offended by your "rag" remark. Why don't YOU try going through a menstrual cycle sometime? I hear it's a real hoot.
At any rate, you need an attorney, at least at first. Negotiate support payment amounts as well as visitation. Then you have a legal leg to stand on. Warning, though: if she has access to as many funds as you say she does, I'm pretty confident that she would have no issues at all breaking you - in every way - through litigation. Your best approach is to not be aggressive and give in a bit here and there. Don't be so stubborn. If you basically try to let things go, perhaps she will be a bit less vindictive and lose interest in making things difficult for you. After all, if she's not pressing your buttons, what fun is that?
the reason i consider myself to not always been the best father is mostly cause early in his life i felt trapped into having him and wanted nothing to do with him... the whole first year of his life i didnt help much at all...so i stay hard on myself. but alot has changed.OBVIOUSLY*!
Unfortunately, I would imagine being trapped like that is NOT uncommon. However, as you've discovered, your son had nothing to do with it. As you have no doubt learned, kids are like sponges when it comes to love. And they give it just as freely... There may have been many bad things about your marriage, however you at least have your son. Count your blessings. It was not all for naught.
I also forgot to mention one very important thing.. 2 days ago i called her to speak to my son and to find out when i can come and pick the baby up again... i also told her i have $300 cash to give her... she told me "You can keep your fu*#!N cash... i hope you enjoyed the time you spent with your son cause that is the last time you will see him!"...
Three words: GET AN ATTORNEY.
as well as telling me that she is back dating her High School sweet heart...like i care... i told her i dont care about her personal life...my only concern is my son... then she said...,"dont worry about him, a real man is taking care of him..." LMAO...like i care... i honestly dont give a $#!T. she is obviously still not over the fact that her and I are still not together, which she has made COUNTLESS attempts to split up my GF and I including threating her over the phone, in person, and on voice mails..., talks trash about my GF and gets mad that my GF has no responce to her childish ways....
Huh. You say she tries to push your girlfriends buttons and gets mad when she can't? Hmm... Sounds... Vaguely... Familiar...
i just want to spend time with my son... and the moment i offer to pay her and i can show that i am trying, she just trys to make it more difficult by not giving me a way out :mad2: i am not going to get rid of my GF / soon to be Fiancee' to make this _____ happy....
Again, she's a keeper.
Life DOES go on after a divorce, I'm sure. But you need to approach this LOGICALLY and leave your emotions out of it. I know, it's an emotional subject, but step back, take a breath, and look at the facts.
None of us (that I'm aware of, at least) are attorneys, so obviously, YMMV. However, again, you need to find an attorney. Make your points short and sweet. Don't get into how there's a ton of name calling and head games. Talk about things of relevance. Attorneys hate it when you waste their time. Although they get paid by the hour, they always have something better to do.
I've considered divorce myself recently, and have an appointment with an attorney just to see where I'm at. So I'm no stranger to some of the ins and outs of it. However, I'm not just gonna say "lets get a divorce!" without having an idea of the ramifications. My situation is also a bit different than yours in that I'm the one with "all the money" (that's LEFT).
This is only my point of view of your situation. I hope it is of some benefit to you.
Now does anyone know where I can get some yellow jawfish?
