    Post: Unreasonable Dad

    Posted by Jojo on 5/04/08


    My sons father, whom denied my son for the first 16 months
    of his life and refused to sign the birth certificate when
    my son was born. when my son was 16 months old he calls me
    out of the clear blue and asks if he can see the baby. I
    was living with my parents at the time, who were
    supporting me and my son so I could pay off the 12
    thousand dollars my sons father put me in while we were
    together. I wanted my son to know his father, I talked
    this over with my parents to see what they thought of
    letting him see the baby. My parents were totally against
    letting him see the baby, told me I would regret letting
    him see the baby. But would stand by what ever I chose to
    do because the child is mine not theirs. my sons father
    had a total of 6 visits with my son with a total of 4
    hours in those 6 visits. Then he demands to take our son
    for a weekend. I told him he could take the baby for a
    weekend when the baby could talk and the baby should get
    to know him more. He did not like that and said i will
    see you in court. we went to court. the court order stated
    that he could have 3 suppervised visits and after the 4th
    he could take the child for 8 hours on his own. I feel
    the courts did not take the best interest of the child,
    handing him over to a stranger. but it was a court order
    and i could not go against the court order. the father was
    ordered to pay child suport.
    we went back to court for a final hearing, the court order
    states my sons father will have the child every other
    weekend 2 weeks in the summer and alternate holidays. Oh
    yeah he also can claim this child every other year on his
    taxes. his suport don't even cover day care expenses, and
    he paid nothing for the first two years of this childs
    life. He informed me a few weeks ago of the vacation time
    he is requesting the court order says two weeks he wants
    the weeks to be split first week starting on my weekend
    and keeping our son into his weekend. that would be 10
    days. for the second week he wants to do the same that
    will be another 10 days my counting says that is very
    close to 3 weeks. I agreed with the time he wanted but I
    want the same. he is taking two of my weekends with our
    son I would like two of his weekends. and he is saying NO
    he will not agree to this. He is very unreasonable and he
    can not be talked to. he has yelled and screamed at me
    calling me very bad names while my son has been with him.
    he is angry that he has to pay child suport. every time he
    calls he asks if i am enjoying living high off the hog
    with his child suport payments. He is paying 130 a week,
    which is being taken out of his check by child suport
    becasue he was not paying like he should have been. Day
    care is 189. a week. It breaks my heart every time my son
    has to go with his father, he begs me not to send him. He
    don't want to go with him. my son started wetting his
    pants every other friday when he has to go with his
    father. I asked my son why he does not want to go to
    Daddys house and my son has told me Daddy is bad to you,
    Daddy says mommy is bad. This man is playing head games
    with a 3 year old child. This rips my heart out. I have
    been very giving to this man but he does not give at all.
    does any one have any suggestions for me.
