What can I do?
Ok here goes bear with me please.. My son's father (we are not married but he is on the birth certificate and no he is not paying child support) well he was watching my son during the week and I was taking him on the weekends so I could go to school to become a medical assistant. Seeing as he doesn't have a job I didn't see the problem in that. Well he told me 2 months ago he was moving to Canada to get his life together.. he is a citizen there... his mom and sis have been taking my son every OTHER weekend as they see fit to be convenient for them. I heard rumors of people seeing him around but was never for sure. Well his younger sister (not the one who takes him other weekends) told me that he is still living at his moms house this whole time! I haven't heard from him in 2 months and got suspicious because his mom won't let me drop my son and pick him up anymore as I have been doing for a year. This means that they have been letting him see my son behind my back without my knowledge. Is there anything legally I can do about this? I am tired of these games and his games to get out of paying support and watching him. I was about to let my mom in FL take my son for 7 months to graduate and I have been crying myself to sleep every night at the thought of not seeing him for that long and the thought of him not having a father. Only to find out its all a lie. Is there a way I can make him watch him during the week so I can go to school and not have to send him to FL?

Well he's WILL be lacking ME because he has to stay in FL with my mom for 7 months... I live in MA and his father WAS until today getting away with me thinking he was in Canada and dodging the responsibility he had of watching his son during t he week. Since he didn't want to get a job me finishing school is me and my sons only shot at a future.. and if I don't finish I'm 17k in debt from student loans. And I getting away with acting like a babysitter rather than a father.. m yson is 2 and I had to fight him to give me 40$ and they are supposed to be going after him for child support but they apparently haven't done it yet |

Children aren't shiny new toys; they're living, breathing people and deserve to have a normal life - not to be thrown back and forth between parents/grandparents/aunts/uncles/etc. |

In the other thread, you complained about not having $10 to buy a pregnancy test until your next paycheck. That tells us you arre living paycheck to paycheck, so how does having another baby figure into that? So now let me address the legal questions here. You complain about your first baby's father getting away with things. Yet you have not filed for child support from him. So YOU are the one letting him get away with things. You can't force someone to be a father, you can only force them to financially support their child. You can't terminate his rights without sufficient cause and I don't see such cause. Now back to the non-legal advice. Do whatever is necessary to finish school. Get your life together. Then see about having another child. And one last point. The people here are trying to help you. Yes some have been very critical of you, because you have made some very bad choices in your life and don't appear to have learned from them. So they have been somewhat harsh in their advice to give you a wake up call. You have no right to complain about this since you have opened those doors with the information you have posted. You have gotten a lot of good advice in various threads you started. Try showing appreciation for the help, even if you don't want to follow it. |

From a legal view point 1. you can't take his rights away, has nothing to do with your child's rights or your rights, but as a father he has his rights also. 2. but the father has obligations, and you can force him to do those, and that is pay. But you have to file. ** You need to get a order of custody in place, and a order of child support, you have been told that many times and I think on different threads. As for as sending the child to Florida for 7 months actually the bio father could stop that if he wanted to, he could file in court for his rights to visit the child and you moving the child away would not allow him to visit. So he could even force you to return the child if he wanted to. |

Out of greenies but how to trolls manage to come back and are they so - what is the word, stupid? - that they post conflicting "stories" on the threads. I thought "we" were done with this person and her attacks. Well, I suppose she could make up another account name and use it to either agree or argue with herself. <wink, wink> |
