I have had to file motion for enforcement against my ex-wife in order to see my daughter. This year it took 5 months for the judge to finally hear the case, because she was awarded a court appointed attorney and then fired him and hired her own who she failed to pay. The courts continued to show favor on my ex-wife even after her attorney with drew due to her non-conpliance.
Because of the witness and video proof of her vilating my visitation she hired a attorney. I cannot afford an attorney so I have been representing myself. Due to my limited experience I lost my case when her attorney was able to find favor with the judge. Her attorney also filed a countersuit: motion for enforcement of back child support, motion for sole custody, and motion for increase for child support. I established back child support when I went to mediation with my ex-wife during the second part of our divorce.
Originally I had primary custody of my daughter and my ex-wife was ordered to pay child support. She took me back to court when I remarried and the same jude re-opened my divorce while married to my current wife and to end the fighting I settled on mediation and allowing my ex-wife to have primary custody with extended visitation for myself and set child support not to be increased for 3 years.
Long story short, I have had to fight for this visitation since it was granted. The judge went back and instead of making her pay the child support owed to me, he charged arrears against me dating back to the date I filed for divorce. I have been working and going to school and only able to pay small amounts consitantly each month since the close of the second trail. I have proof of making payments each month and the attorney general reflects the same record.
I went to pick my daughter for my weekend visitation today and was served. I am tired of fighting in the courts for rights to be a father to my daughter. I have been a responsible and dedicated father since my child was born. This constant battle from my ex-wife is affecting my daughter and my marriage.
Since my ex-wife wants to take away my rights and not allow me to see my daughter because I am remarried, then how can I petition to the courts to reliquish my both my legal and financial right to my daughter.
I have never relied on child support to take care of my daughter. I pay child support and I provide for my daughter. However, if my ex-wife wants me out of my daughter's life then I should not be obligated to continue to pay for my daughter if I have not access or involvement in her life!
I have to continually petition the courts on my own just to see my daughter and even when I provide proof of her not allowing me access, the courts provide no assistance or consequence to my ex-wife when she violates the court orders continuouslly.
I am so tired, hurt, frustrated, saddened, and willing to place my daughter in God's hands.
All I do now is pray for my ex-wife and pray each time I go to see my daughter, God will allow me to see her.
Any suggestions?
