He's trying to take away my son.

[preshi]

The EX-H just called me here at work (which he always does to tell me lovely news) and said that he wants me to have Austy only on weekends!!!

We were going to try to do this without going to court...but....seems like we wont be able to.

I am so fustrated already!

I'm so sorry that you're going through this. (((hugs)))

Deep breaths...

Do you have caller ID at work? If I were you, I'd start screening all my calls. You don't need that sort of upsetting conversation while you're at work. Then you need to tell him that unless it's an EMERGENCY regarding your child, you don't want to discuss these issues with him while you're working. He can drop his bombs on you while you're home, when you're capable of telling him how you REALLY feel about the topic.

Good luck to you - I know it's tough.

Maybe you should get an attorney, so you don't get screwed over! Good luck, my heart goes out to you!

 

[pixiedust218]

{{H U G S}} to you. I am sorry that you are going through a tough time...my thoughts and prayers are with you and I hope all works out well.

 

[wvjules]

Best of luck in your court battle. I can't imagine not being with my DD every day.

I'm sorry you have to go through this.

Get an attorney so he can't play games like this with you. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

 

[nativetxn]

{{{HUGS}}} sweetie. He knows how to hurt you, doesn't he?

Sonja is right, get an attorney and let him deal with this.

Sorry you are having to go through this

 

[WDWHound]

I am sorry to hear this. I hope that you and he can come to an agreement so that both of you get to spend enough time with your son.

 

[CajunDixie]

I dont know all the details preshi but you should start keeping a journal and writing down dates and times that he calls and what he says. And while you're at it write down his auto license plate numbers. Get an attorney right away! Some guys seem to know just what buttons to push to get things they want. Could he possibly want something else and is only using custody as a threat? Either way document everything and get an attorney.

i went through a divorce last year, but with no kids involved...it's not easy!!

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}


i would get a lawyer also since a child is involved...

My divorce (mid 80's) was quite amicable and both of us behaved like grownups - well for the most part. But I've had friends, both male and female who've dealth with situations that sound somewhat like you've described. A former partner who at first seems reasonable and fair and then starts saying and doing things that can cause great harm to everyone. At that point I always offer the same advice: Talk to everyone you know and get the attorney who can if necessary turn into a SHARK to protect your rights. No, I'm not saying you should take him to the cleaners or get sole custody of your son, I'm saying get someone who will make sure you are treated equitably and that your son's best interests are looked after. I've seen good attorneys and I've seen bad. Get recommendations from people who've been though tough divorces and call the best attorney you can. It WILL be worth it.

BTW, I'm so very sorry you have to go through this. An amicable divorce is hard enough on everyone in the family, a horrible one is almost unbearable. But hang in there.

 

[helenabear]

I am so sorry. I do hope you two can really work this out though {{{hugs}}}

I'm sorry to hear that my friend. . . this has to be difficult enough for you without having to go through those kind of battles. .

Do you think he was serious about it, or just trying to tick you off and upset you?

 

[Beauty]

Meagan I'm so sorry you have to go through this. I agree with everyone that you need a lawyer. This is going to be a really tough time for you {{HUGS}} and we are here when you need us.

 

[fklhou]

As a member of the bar, I agree with the advice you are getting. Get an attorney and let the attorney deal with it.
