I wasn't around back then. That's an oldie but a goodie.

And any thread that cites Woody's "Kelly" song is a good one. :D

Because I luv ya Misty:
Kelly my darling, you are my sunshine;
When we're together I feel fine.
Your smile is so lovely; your hair is so clean;
You make me feel that the whole world is mine.
Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly,
Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, K-E-L-L-Y ...
Why? Because you're

Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly,
(pause) Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly,
Kelly of mine!

(applause)

Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine,
Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine,
... Mine!

Kelly: Woody that was beautiful.
Woody: You really liked it?
Kelly: Oh, I liked it more than anything.
Woody: Thanks.
Kelly: So, where's my gift?

Hate to tell ya'll but it's been two years long and strong that we were married and i now have a one year old and one on the way.... he has his one year old with the ex and two with me (his wife)....we are doing just fine. He get's his child for visits and we are doing just fine as a family. She is now remarried with her child to her husband so..WE NO LONGER HAVE ANY DRAMA FROM HER. my husband pays his child support when he can but he does pay it.. so think what you want....we are happliy married and GOD had his hand on our marriage.


Just over one short year ago.

So do you have one or TWO children with him, in this marrage approved by the gods...
 
Look, it isn't going to do any good at all to file for contempt - because he isn't going to pay support no matter what. You know that.

And it isn't going to do any good to file for a reduction in court ordered parenting time, because he's not going to use that time no matter what.

You need to do what the other mom did, and just let it go. I wouldn't even file for contempt for the child support. Eventually, it'll catch up with him, and you might see a dollar or two. In the meantime, be glad that you're only supporting yourself and the child, and not ALSO the deadbeat.

Move. On. Make plans with kiddo that don't include him. Keep them fluid enough that if he does show up, you can make kiddo available. Easy peasy.

hey, dude aint gonna just show up 8-12 years later taking about "hey I wanna se me child"...it on't work that way...I'm not making my child available to some dude that magically will appear years down the line, lol picutre that...a total stranger by then

Ok then. Do what you want.
 
Good grief. If the support is court ordered, file a motion to show cause. YOU were WARNED about this when you were irritating Kim in the delivery room. For the simple reason that this is all that was foretold you need to stick around so that you can be a lesson. You have done NOTHING but CREATE drama. If he is NOT seeing his child then let it go. Reduce time? Don't count on it. Two months is not a lot of time. Why isn't he seeing his child? Is he working? Is he out of state? What is the reason he gives? Yes, it matters.


ETA: Amazing how Kim will ALWAYS get before you, now isn't it? Sloppy seconds must really suck.

Hey, at least we were married when I gave birth...he never even thought of marrying her...they were never serious from what I observed. But hey, live and learn....and he said he is soughting some things out in his life and can't see her right now. I do know he has another girlfriend but oh well...who cares

that only counts if you stay married. Otherwise, you're no more important than she is because ultimately, you both ended up in the same spot...

My coworker lives 2 blocks from me. We go to work 2 different ways. We both get there and ultimately, that's all that matters.
