What is the name of your state? Minnesota
hi - I met a man who had previously been engaged. They had a child together and she cheated on him when the child was one. He moved out. He had her (his child)every weekend give or take one weekend a month - and sometimes during the week. We met - he was still getting her every weekend. He pays her weekly as they had there own arrangment set up. NOW that we are married - the mother has been a real pain. She claims that the daughter hates coming to visit her dad. She claims that my husband has no legal rights as a father and the daughter does not have to visit my husband (the child is 2). Recently I put my husband, his daughter under my health plan as it was cheaper and it's better coverage. The mother flipped out because she was unable to take her daughter to a specific daughter and freaked out on my husband. She said for us to drop the daughter from our health plan and she would cover her. Then she said it was his legal obligation as a father to provide the healthcare coverage. We refuse to drop the child. The mother is immature. I don't know how often she has her kid - most of the time the child is at the mother's parents house or with the fiance (who has been rumored to beat the mother) as the mother works and goes to school. She applied for child support through the state - this was mailed to my husband at her address Nov 8th 04 and she gave them to him Nov 23rd and the paperwork is due Dec 2nd. She has our address - don't know why she had to have them mailed to her only for her to sit on them. She claims she does not want more money - she just thinks it will be easier this way by having the money deposited into her checking account. Anyway - my husband is tired of her threats and tired of her using the child as a pawn. He wants to go for joint custody - she flipped out and said she wants to keep everything out of the courts. (so i suppose she did not think she would need to go to court for child support) Anyway - is he crazy to attempt joint custody.
