Would be nice if some parents try being parents because they really want to be there for their kids and want the best for them in life... and not just because it is their "right".

Yeah, that is what I told him... sucks to be a kid of divorce sometimes.

It really bites when you can't get along with your ex enough to switch weekends or anything... I had a really good deal on a vacation to disneyland for the kids and tried to switch a weekend with their dad to do it... and he said NO! Even though he didnt have plans... I was like... well, the...

What is the name of your state?CA For anyone who answered any of my posts, just wanted to give an update. My son is back home with me and not because I took him either. He told his dad he wanted to move back home and give things a chance and so he is home now. We have mediation and court...

I talked to my son today about coming early to pick him up on Friday to meet his counselor at school and he says... oh goody, my birth mom is coming. HIS BIRTH MOM. That is apparently what his father and his new wife are referring to me as. I find this completely out of line. Yes, I gave birth...

What is the name of your state?California Anyone know what form I need to file with the court to request a change of venue from the county my ex and I were divorced in (where neither of us live anymore) to another county (county where I currently reside)?? Thanks.

It is a pattern. His son from previous marriage hasn't been to the dentist for 2 years. My point is this... when my son went to live there (trial basis) his dad was all ready to coparent... he doesn't do that now. He refuses to give me my son's medical info so I can take him to the dentist. I...

In response to IAAL's comment about the stepmother trying to replace the mother... Shaking head... why do stepmom's do this? Isn't there a way the mom and the stepmom can co-exist. The mom feels threatened by the stepmom and the stepmom feels threatened by the mom. It is really lame. Since my...

It doesn't actually. There isn't going to be a move any longer. My husband is headed straight to afghanistan for a year so no bother to move. I also wanted to add that co-parenting does not exist in my situation. My ex, since my son has been there, won't let me talk to him on the phone most of...

What is the name of your state?California My son has been living with his dad for the past 6 months. He is 10. He, at the time was unhappy that I remarried and didn't want to get along with his new stepfather so rather than fight with him about it, I allowed him to live with his father. His dad...

Right, I know... not that any other family members can or will ever replace their dad but my sister, her husband, their children, and my mom all live in North Carolina where I want to move... also, I dont know if I should even mention this but while there dad is a good one... for the past 3...

Amen! I agree... too many parents take becoming parents so lightly... it is so frustrating. I'm glad my kids have a good dad. I choose him. We planned our children and yes, we ended up divorced, but our kids have two good parents.

Thank you for all the input... I am the first to say that I want what is best for my children even if it isn't what I like or want, however since dad has been ncp for the majority of our children's life and I'm not even asking for any reduction of visitation at all, he is actually going to end...

California. I'm another one of those women who married a man in the Army. He is being stationed in North Carolina. My ex, of course, does not want the kids to move, I don't blame him. He suggested this six month thing, which I dont think is really great for them. I offered him one weekend a...

What is the name of your state?California Anyone know of a mediator recommending 6 months with each parent (joint physical/legal) for school age children who would have to go to change schools during Christmas break?? Just curious. My ex mentioned this as a possible agreement... I'm not sure if...
