Talk about crazies:
Bob's ex- wife is now refusing to send his daughter here for the visit that he's already paid the airfare on and rearranged his vacation schedule at work to accomodate her being here for 3 weeks.
He's so upset.
It was all over a squabble about how she couldn't come up with the money to send Shawna here so that Bob would have to pay. He told her she was way overdue
(she's supposed to come every summer and every other Christmas and birthday and they are supposed to alternate who pays the airfare)
And Shawna hasn't been here since 2006 and Bob paid for that time too!
So he told her she should at least pay half and that he'd take $100 out of her monthly support check for 6 months to cover her half...... she never said yes or no.
Technically, a year ago she asked for $100 extra a month and he did it willingly but they never put it in writing.
So..... technically he's still paying her the stated $ in their divorce agreement, but
she's so pissed about this she told him she is refusing to put Shawna on the plane next week!
Unbelievable how a parent could do that to their ex and also to their child.
(honestly that $100 is only worth about a bit over half in Germany anyway!)
So now he's cancelled the plane fare.... with no refund either! Only credit toward future flights. (which he could have used the $$ for his house closing)
And I really can't change the cruise to include him.
My girlfriend is so looking forward to it and she would not want to cancel.
What a mess
And Bob was so looking forward to seeing his daughter too
Not fun to deal with. If only child access could be enforced the same way child support is, or tie the two together somehow. I'm thinking that a lot more parents would get to see their kids more often if the support receiving parents child support payment was dependant on it. It's very frustrating to deal with. We've been in the same situation so I understand what you are going through.
There is a huge forces base in Cyprus. The one year we were lying on the beach when out of the sea came about 300 soldiers with full uniform and kit on their back... it was about 40 degrees at the time.It was a strange site them walking up the beach when everyone else had on swimsuits!
Talking of which - I'd better go try mine on
