Custody Issues / RE: HELP! Rights Fustrated
Mar 30, 2007, 10:15:28 AM
She will not agree to a parenting plan.. I tried that with her as 2 adults during the divorce. She has not let them come visit me since the divorce started.

I am not worried about custody payments, but I did explain to her up front at the time that I would help out where I can. If it was bills I told her to send me the bill and if it was things my children needed to let me know and I would send money. I did send money from time to time and clothing. But for the past few years I was struggling my self getting my self situated where I now live and was not able to send stuff on a regular basis.

Bottom line right now is, she is preventing me from seeing my children & my children from seeing me and their grand parents. All because she is not getting money. But she says I am not being part of their lives, but thats hard to do when she will not even let them come visit me at all.

She says she will let them come visit if I pay child support, which I am in the position to start sending money on a more regular basis. But my gut feeling tells me she still will not. How can I trust some one, who made agreements with me over the well being of our children and then doesn't follow through. We made a parenting plan before our divorce was even in effect. I was the idiot, but not no more. I should of never left it up to her to file on the behalf of both of us.

it has now been 3 weeks since I last talked to my children. I leave messages almost everyday, but never hear from them, I even left a message to speak with their mother still no phone call.

Custody Issues / HELP! Rights Fustrated

Divorce default Feb 2005 & custody/visitation order: mother full custody and father reasonable visitation. It is now 03/07, the mother will not let the kids come visit me. I have visited for their birthdays but with visitation restricted to her house only. I was in phone contact until 03/09/07. For 2 wks I have called between 7-9pm no one answers. I have left messages. The mother says she will not let them come see me until I pay child support, but as far as I knew their was none. I told her to send me proof she never did. I didn't get proof until I tried to visit in 10/06 and went to court house to get the final divorce paperwork. But I did inform her that I would help by paying any bills needed paid or if the kids needed anything I would mail it to them. I have been trying to get my kids to come stay with me even for two weeks in the summer time since 2004. I need to do something so my kids don't think I abandon them. What forms do I fill out to at least get temporarily custody/visitation changed so I can call them and see them. PLEASE HELP! My rights are being frustrated.

I tried to prevent the default. At the time of the divorce I was not much in the position to pay for any help. My ex and I where in agreement on the divorce filing, joint custody and we had agreement on visitation too. But, I was to stupid to realize and she filed for the divorce with her having full custody and me with reasonable visitation. So I sent in what was suppose to be the proper paperwork and fees. Court sent them back saying I was missing a document, sent it back and the fee. They where sent back again and I was still missing a document. At that point I ran into some issues with a new job I was working and was stressed out and over worked. I let the documents slide a few months. Around the same time I got another document from my ex and paralegal wanting me to sign that I received certain documents by a specific date which I didn't receive all that was checked marked. I informed her of this on several occasions waiting for the proper documents before sending mine. I sent mine and was returned stating the fee increased. By the time I realized it was too late the hearing for default was scheduled. I called on the day of the court and spoke with the Judge and tried to explain, but he just told me to file against the divorce that was being filed. That was it. Stupid me decided to trust my ex and stick with what we agreed upon and she was still in agreement on the visitation until Summer came and she said no.
