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.
