first I would like to say that I am so happy to have found this forum. i am need somewhere to go to vent and get advice and i came across this site and so far it looks wonderful, now on to the drama. my husband and i have been together for about 11 years. he had a child with his ex, and soon after she took her daughter and disappeared. she did not want him in her or her daughter's life nothing, until child support. my husband fought for visitation and she would hold the child, not show for meetings, and contest. she sure made it a point to get her increases in child support though. for 1 years this went on fighting for visitation and paying child support with nothing. he asked for dna testing and was denied time and time again. now one day he was at a friends when the friends roomate asked for a ride to go see some hoe. john asked her name and guess who it was? well he got on the phone with her and she asked him to sign rights away and he agreed. I was there and signed the paper also and we thought it was done and over with. well low and behold a few months ago a phone call from out of nowhere it was her. she wants him to be a dad after 10 years every other weekend the whole spill like we never missed a beat. ok WTF? i felt like i was losing my mind here. turns out the paper that was signed was nothing just dropping support and giving her sole custody. well it turned into she wanted a daddy for her other kids, which all have different dads, she is married to a man that is 52 she is 29, and she feels my husband owes it to her to leave me and be with her and her daughter. if he doesn't talk to her on the phone for hours on end she gets mad. she calls my home and leaves nasty messages calls all hours of the night so i changed the number. the child doesn't want to come here unless she is getting something and treats our kids like crap. she bosses my daughter and had her so upset it was unreal.i understand that she is 12, but the thing is she has been with her mother for the last 12 years listening to all kinds of lies. i really tried and now it is to the point that it is just better not to bother. bm has called CYS on me 3 times already, filed for child support increases 4 times in 4 months, it is just a nightmare. i feel i will lose my mind. she checks herself into the nut ward 2 times a year to keep her ssi, goes to mental health 4 times a month i mean i am not dealing with a sain person here. when we were seeing her, bm wasn't happy unless my husband was talking to her all week about life, and then would throw a fit if he wouldn't stay up on the phone with her all night and say no visit then turn around the following weekend and say she is dropping her off cause she wants her daddy. ok first she is 12 and i am sorry but we have visited with her 4 times in 4 months. she never calls unless she wants to go shopping. i am just at the end of it all. thanks if you read this i just needed to let some of it out.

I'm sure this is just a small part of the story and it sounds like a complicated one. So when he signed that paper giving her sole custody, it also dropped the child support? So he didn't have to pay for all those years and now since she's returned he's been paing again & started visitation? Re-entering someone's life is a HUGE process and it doesn't sound like its being dealt with correctly, at all. Do you guys have a lawyer? Were they ever married? Why was he denied a DNA test? Did he orignally sign a paternity acknowledgement form or the birth certificate?

That is a lot to deal with. I would definitely get a lawyer and start asking questions. If the kid is his and if he is interested in taking custody of her, it probably would not be hard, considering the mental issues of the BM and if there is paperwork involved that will show a trail. I would gather all info you have and find a lawyer asap.

I'm not quite sure how he could be denied a paternity test...if there is any doubt what so ever either parent has the right to have a dna test done, I believe it is up until the child turns 18. And just like melis070179 asked...where is his lawyer in all of this? If he has one, maybe he needs a new one!! She isn't the one to be making all the decisions here, and if she is on ssi and visits the nut ward regularly, I would think the courts should be involved with the children and checking up on them regularly at her home, to make sure they are ok...And if she has been determined legally not sane, she definitely shouldn't be allowed to make any legal decisions without a court order stating such...Get legal advice, good legal advice...Best of luck!!

we did see a lawyer but he pretty much said we are at the mercy of the court. yes this is just a small part of the story, very small. when he signed the paper yes it dropped support he had to pay back the rears because she was on welfare in 2 counties, and yes we tried to report her many times for that and they said they had no time for it. back support wasn't an option and yes she did try but they told her it went from the day she filed. no we didn't deal with it correctly at all i just kind of sat back and watched and i now know that i should have opened my mouth sooner lesson learned. no they were never married they were barely together long. he did sign a paternity acknowledgement form from what domestics says and that was why he was denied.
