So...

...after emailing me to tell me that he's applying to the court for sole custody of our 10 year old son because he's "spending to much time with girls", my ex actually went to court and filed an application for sole custody of our 3 children! Don't ask. We've been divorced for 7 years, in which time he's never seen these kids more often than once every two weeks. For the last 7 years, he's seen the kids once every 2 weeks, and now that I've filed for an increase to his child support payments, he's decided that he's worthy of parenting 3 children full time. I'm not even worried that he'll get custody of them, as he's a narcissist, and an ass on his best day, who couldn't possibly care less about these kids, and anyone who knows him, knows that.

He even pays someone to take our son to tae kwon do (because I work full time), rather than get his ass out here and take him himself!

I applied to the court for an increase to his child support payments, and in his reply to that application, my ex let a huge financial cat out of the bag (he was actually bragging as to why the children should live with him). All I asked for in the very beginning of this process was peace and minimum child support. It's been seven blasted years, and any time I ask for something that's required of him by law, it's a big hassle, and I usually end up letting it go because I can't be bothered with the stress and headache. I'm done with that. I asked for the minimum, and he decided that he wanted to fight. I have news for him. He's definitely in for a fight. I'm not letting it go this time. I'm sick of this crap. He's going to lose a lot more than the minimum.

Karma's a bitch. If you do unto others, what you wouldn't like to have done to you, you'll get it back in spades.

Wish me luck!

The whole darn system is screwed up. If both parents are capable, then there should be shared custody. Games of trying to get sole custody just to change the child support amount are unproductive. In this age of technology it would be very easy to use debit cards and other accounting methods to efficiently arrive at a fair amount.

Instead we have this very flawed feast or famine system. It seems you and I are in bad situations, except my wife is getting very generous child support (one child = same as my home mortgage in the best school system in the state) and is still giving me substandard visitation.

Thanks for your post. Best wishes in dealing with your ex’s recent BS.
