yes. before the school year 2009 i made the mistake of asking my ex and his wife if they wanted to put the girls threw school, i believed we had formed a decent relationship as co parents. i also believed i would have access to our children and we could work together for them. obveously they agreed. after three months of myself not being able to get ahold of my daughters by phone and when i did which was maybe 3 times, sm's son (13 at the time) would answer the phone and my girls (6 and 7) would explain to me dad and sm were not home and ss was always babysitting them and taking them out to see his friends. thanksgiving was my first visit with our daughters and after hearing them tell me that their daddy was smoking in the car, and he was never home and ss was always watching them and when he did was hitting and cussing at them i decided to not allow ex to pick children up. we never modified the current court order where i had physical custody. i thought i was protecting them... well ex took me to court and we went to mediation and it was concluded that because i didnt call cps and go threw the courts and because of fathers allegation saying i was unfit the court ordered a move away order with father having custody and there was to be an evidence hearing. at that time the father threw out the child support order, i guess he had taken pitty on me??? thats when i hired a lawyer who ended up wasting my time and money for a year setting back the evidence hearing 6 times!!! i fired him. ive been patient and collecting evidence for the last 2 years. but pretty much what ive been told from cps the police and court there is no reason to remove our girls from his home. ive been helping the only way i can since he doesnt offer information on what i could financially help with so ive been doing most of the driving. any time i ask if i can send gift cards for them to get clothes shoes or even gas in his card he tells me " we've already taken care of it" but since the girls have gone back from my summer visit this year! he has withheld his complete address, phone calls except when he had the girls call me yesterday asking me why i wasnt gonna pick them up and why they couldnt see me, and now he stateing in email that because he's the sole phinacial provider he chose to work instead of being at the meeting spot tonight. super funny one of his emails says "oh ill meet you at the meeting spot on saturday if you'd like.im like wtf?? pretty much he forgot the schedualed visit and didnt ask for the time off so he'll bring them when he isnt working in the morning? hell yeah ill take that and meet him tomorrow but for him to not tell me last week when i asked about this weekends visit that he wouldnt be making it, i could have told my work and been up there!
