My wife became pregnant with our son (my SS) when she was 16 and BioDad was 21. BioDad has a long history of inappropriate if not criminal sexual relationships with minors. They were never married.

My wife graduated from HS with her class and with honors. After graduation BioDad decided that my wife was approaching 18yo and too old for him so he abandoned my wife and SS in a condemned travel trailer to run off with his next 16yo victim.

In the fall following graduation from HS my wife moved out of state with SS to attend an accelerated BS program so that she could provide for she and SS. Prior to leaving the state for college my wife filed a paternity and CS motion against BioDad. He was ordered to pay $110/mo in CS. No visitation schedule was set by the court.

For 4 mos my wife and BioDad discussed reconciliation and the possibility of BioDad joining her and SS at the location where my wife was in school. He would commit then back out to the point that she was at the airport to meet several airplanes that he never boarded.

BioDad made no effort to visit with his child until he heard through the grapevine that my wife was dating someone (me). At that point he told SpermGrandMa that he missed his "wife" and child. At that point, without the knowledge of BioDad, SpermGrandMa filed for custody in BioDad's name.

My wife was blindsided by a Constable serving her with the custody papers the day before she started classes. SpermGrandMa was attempting to intimidate her in to giving the kid up to the SpermIdiot. My wife took out a large amount of supplemental school loans, retained an attorney and confronted THEM in court.

The first notable detail about the custody case is that my wife noticed that the signature where BioDad signed the paperwork initiating the custody case wase in SpermGrandMa's hand writing and not in BioDad's. Her attorney called THEIR attorney to determine who he was representing. THEIR attorney was quite shocked to find out that SpermGrandMa had forged the SpermIdiots signiture. At that point THEIR attorney resigned. THEY retained another attorney which started a nearly year long process of court dates being set followed by them convieniently not being able to make the court date and canceling a day or two prior. This was an attempt to bankrupt my wife since the court case was in BioDad's state and community and my wife had to fly to attend the hearings.

They ultimately canceled 4 times and attempted to cancel a 5th before my wife's attorney was able to get the judge to hold a court date.

In the months leading up to the first time in court they would offer to drop the custody portion of their case if my wife would move back to the state where the SpermIdiot lived and agree to joint custody. She refused. They countered with 26 weeks of visitation with her paying for travel. She refused. They countered with 20 weeks of visitation. She refused. They countered with ....... she refused. The night before court they made a final offer of 15wks of visitation. We offered 9. They refused.

Three weeks prior to the court date the SpermIdiot married his then 16yo GF to avoid being charged for statutory rape. He was 23. My wife and her attorney had the shotgun loaded to bring his status as a statutory rapist to the judge’s attention as soon as the hearing started.

The SpermIdiot annulled his marriage to the 16yo 3mos after the court date.

My wife and I married a week before the court date. We just celebrated our 16th anniversary.

Interestingly the judge had no issue with the SpermIdiot marrying a 16yo and had more issue with me (30) marrying an 18yo. When he jacked me up about the age difference between my wife and I, I said, "your honor, it was my understanding that a 23 yo being sexually active with a 16yo is a crime. There is no crime in a 30yo marrying an 18yo .... or did you miss that day in law school". The judge got really pissed. He and I sparred like that several times during the hearing. The big friction between the moron in the black robe and I was over my income. He ruled that I was not a party to the case. Since I was not a party to the case I refused to give him my income information. He and I went back and forth until he told me that if one more word came out of my mouth he would hold me in contempt. So I sat there and did not say a word. Not even when he told me to divulge my income info or he would hold me in contempt. I did what I was told. I shut up and did not say a word. It was funny as hell. My stance was that since I was not a party to the case then my money was not a party to the case. Seems pretty simple to me. Ultimately I did have to divulge my income but not before I had the judge beet red and slobbering mad on the stand.

So off to court we went. When we finally got in front of a judge the dog and pony show was an all day affair. Their first move was to withdraw the custody element of their case and ask only for reasonable visitation. Their attorney was an idiot but not entirely stupid. He knew that custody was not going to happen. Single teen moms nearly always get full physical and legal custody.

They rolled out several witnesses on how the SpermClan was a pillar of the community, blah, blah, blah .... nothing about BioDad. Their attorney knew better.

Then our attorney laid out our version of the truth. Police officers to testify on BioDad's gun violation when he was carrying a gun in the kids diaper bag. How he jumped out of the car and ran from police leaving the baby in the car. How he was a known gang banger wannabe who played on the edges. Witnesses to his bringing the baby to gang parties and giving the baby whiskey when he would cry...... we presented his HS attendence records showing chronic truency, we had witnesses on every idiot thing that BioDad ever did.

We even rolled out witnesses to SpermGrandPa's affairs and infidelities, witnesses to SpermGrandMa's manipulations of the court system, police and judges to get her idiot son (the SpermIdiot) off the hook for his gun violation arrest and how she did favors for judges in the county, free house cleaning services, etc....... How the judges, attorneys, etc ... in the county let SpermGrandMa use their vacation home.

At the end of the day the judge made the statement that forever set my opinion of family law judges. "I hope every one feels better. Now I am going to do what I always do." :jawdrop:

We spent $15K for that F-in idiot to do NOTHING!!! He did not hear a word anyone said except when I insulted his knowledge of the law regarding statutory rape.

The judge also commentted that "any child would be blessed to have the love and support of this family (the SpermClan)". :jawdrop: I shook my head at that comment and said loudly "this judge is an idiot". Bailiffs got much closer to me after that.

The judge did spend about 15mins hammering the SpermIdiot for showing up in court looking like an idiot gang banger and admonishing him to pull his head out of his ass and grow up.

His ruling was that my wife retained full physical and legal custody. She could live where she wanted and move whenever she wanted. Both she and the SpermIdiot had to keep the other notified of their contact information. CS was riased from $110/Mo to $130/mo. SpermGrandPa flipped over that since he and SpermGrandMa were the ones paying their idiot son's CS obligation. BioDad got 7wks of visitation. When we walked out of court the SpermIdiots attorney told my wife "my client will accept your offer of 9wks of visitation". My wife laughed in his face and said "you heard the judge "7 weeks of visitation and not a minute more".

We pretty much got what we wanted but spending the day in court with the scum sucking bottom dwellers of the family law profession let me feeling the need for a long hot shower to wash of any residual slime.

Next installment, court date number two. 8yrs later and even more fun.

Best regards.
