OMG I can't believe it...Just read her counter-suit myself...

I just read the counter-suit that BM responded with myself and I can't believe it - she's suing HIM for full custody!! WHAT?! BF didn't realize this when he read it and I was just going off of what he told me with my previous blog entry. I can't believe this. You know what her grounds are? She says that BF is in contempt because he doesn't pay her child support and that he takes SS to parties where drugs and alcohol are consumed in front of SS! I'd like to see her proof of that!

No, my son can't have fun!

BF's mother, brother, and two nephews came over today to hang out with us and the baby. MIL called BM's mother's house to talk to SS and see if he wanted to come with them because he hasn't seen his cousins literally in years. BM always says no when they try to get the kids together. SS ran down to his house to ask his Mom if he could go. Then, BM's mother called MIL back and said:

Gonna break these updates up or it'll be really long!

Thank goodness the site is back up! I've missed you guys and gals so much! So we got a response from BM on the petition to modify custody that BF served her. She said that BF had caused her severe emotional trauma from serving her these papers. She claims that he is not paying her child support (again) and is suing him for contempt of court. I would think that her lawyer would at least CHECK to see if that was TRUE before sending the paperwork through to sue him. But I guess you can sue anyone for anything you want to nowadays regardless of whether it's true or not.

SS missing school again, emails from BM abounding

I would like for you guys to read these emails and see if you think they sound at all legitimate. I think that there is a lot of made up stuff in them to try to guilt BF into letting her keep SS from coming on visitation. She has always insisted that SS has said he would rather be able to pick and choose when he comes to visit instead of being "forced" to come every other weekend and that that is a major contributing factor to why BF and SS "have no bond".

Skids around birth time

So I have a question for those of you who have been through this situation or have any input for me. SS is 10 and I wouldn't expect a kid of that age to sit around a hospital with us for 2 days through the labor, birth and preceeding stay. However, I don't think that it's necessary for him to avoid the process altogether, is it? BM is asking us to come up with a plan in case I go into labor while SS is with us. She does not want him to be around me in labor and absolutely doesn't want him to go to the hospital.

Insulting on the premise of caring - the good part is at the end

BM and I had a chat last night and this morning. She keeps insisting that if BF really wanted what was best for SS that he'd drop the whole custody thing because it's "not what SS wants" and is "pushing SS away". She never has understood that just because she says SS feels a certain way doesn't make it true and doesn't make us believe her, especially when we're told straight from the horse's mouth that what she says isn't how he really feels.

She responded, indirectly

Today is day number 30 since BM was served with the petition to modify custody. She did not have a formal response to the petition, but BF's lawyer was contacted today by a lawyer who is representing her. He told BF's lawyer that they are preparing her response and he should have it soon. I asked if that counted since she technically didn't legally respond in the given time frame. BF's lawyer said that even though we could legally pursue a default judgement, a judge wouldn't allow it anyway and it would only make us look bad.

Scripting from BM, time's almost up to respond to custody petition

When BF went to pick SS up yesterday, BM was sure to tell BF that SS had "some things that he wanted to tell BF." When they got on the road, BF asked SS what it was that he needed to say. SS said, "I'm supposed to tell you that I've been having headaches because I'm stressed about the custody stuff." BF asked SS if he even knew what "custody" meant. SS said no. BF explained what it meant. He talked to SS about how if his Mom didn't get a job, that SS might be coming to live with us for a while and visiting BM every other weekend.

I met someone who knows BM

I was at work and a lady came in to see me for an appointment. We got to talking about people we both knew and where we lived. She mentioned that her son was going through an awful divorce but luckily had no kids. I told her I sympathized because of the drama we've had from BM. I noticed that she used to work for the person who BF has had business insurance with for 8 years. It's a small world, so I asked her if she knew BF. She said, "Yes! I know him well! He was married to (BM's name).
