Right now I’m going through a paternity suit filed by the state against my son’s father.They’ve given him ample opportunities to take paternity tests, but never showed up. Now it’s going to court.
He’s made it known that if he pays child support, he will seek visitation or partial custody.
He has an extensive criminal background including meth manufacturing/distribution (in 2 counties)and recently picked up domestic assault including felionous restraint and another assault case in another county. He’s currently been order to complete Drug Court and to live in a rehibilitation house. I’ve been told that as long as he’s doing what he’s supposed to be doing, he will probably be granted visitation rights. However, my son is only one and I would at least like for him to be old enough to pick up the phone and be able to call someone if he’s in trouble.
Anyone else experience any situation like this? Serious matter. No comments about my choice in men… he didn’t use to be such a psycho:(
Looking for answers from actual law enforcement please. My son is in high school and wants to be a state trooper when he gets older. His father (which he doesn’t have any contact with because I have had sole custody for the last 5 years) is a criminal. He has been in jail for burglary,breaking and entering, recieving stolen property, providing a minor with alcohol, drug paraphanalia, 2 OUI’s, 3 OAS’s, and the last child molestation (he molested our daughter). My son is worried that because of his father’s bad reputation and criminal record that it may hurt his chances of getting into law enforcement. As his mother, I have never been in trouble for anything and he has never been in trouble for anything himself. Being in law enforcement have any of you seen someone get turned down because of criminal history in the family, or are we just worried about nothing? It would really crush him if he found out this could ruin his chances, he has talked about nothing else for the last 4 yrs.
I have the occassional drink and won’t give up totally until I know I’m pregnant. I was told when I carried my second child that the odd drink was o.k. I drank Kahlua and milk and my doctor said this was o.k. My son is fine and thriving. He is nearly 10.
My soon to be ex has a long criminal history and is living with his mother whom smokes like a chimney. He refuses to agree to anything pertaining to the divorce and is now leaving child custody in the hands of a judge. I am so scared that he will get some visitation with our 6 week old son that is unsupervised and he will run. He has only spent about 4 hours total with our son since his birth and contributes very little. My attorney says not to worry but this is my child and I am scared.
My ex is an alcoholic..has been for years but I could never prove it..Well recently I have found somethings out that I didnt know before. Like on New Years Eve he was rushed to the hospital after passing out, spitting up blood, and then stopped breathing. When he arrived at the hospital he had a blood alcohol content of .386 (they just called it .4) Then last april I found out he was too intoxicated to take our son to the hosp. for stitches and the neighbor had to do it. The other day his new girlfriend called me at 9:30pm and started calling me names for no reason so drunk she was slurring and not making any sense. My son is very affraid of him and has told the school counselor this and that his dad drinks everyday all day. He makes 29 dollars an hour and hasnt made a house or truck pymnt in 3 months and keeps having his water shut off..what do you think my chances are of getting the supervised visits?
my son’s father is a pathalogical liar and uses his children as pawns in his chess game of…getting attention from women, lying, cheating, etc. he’s has a serious selfish problem. he and i were together for six years and in those six years he subjected his children to at least 2 other women and their kids. Now he’s attempting to subject my son to his “new” girlfriend who he met in AA. she’s a pediatric nurse mother of three and a Narcotics Addict. the last girl he cheated on me with thought he lived alone and had this little old dog, for a year he lied to her and continuously took his three kids (one of them, my 3 yr old son) over to her house. While in wal-mart one day, his oldest son, Jamesy asked him, “Daddy, why do you lie to lizzy about where we are going? Daddy why do you live with lizzy when you are seeing Dawn” he told jamesy, “i promise james, i’ll quit cheating on lizzy” at the same time he was buying flowers and asked jamesy to give them to dawn so it looked less romantic and cuter. she bought it. she and i met when he finally checked into detox. Alcohol is just one outlet of his manic ways. he’s up right now and living in vegas “acting” like he’s a changed man. But he’s left two voicemails in the last week and i can tell he has been drinking again. he’s now got his new girlfriend harassing me over texts. i want him to have “supervised” visitation if any at all. right now his eldest son is in counseling at school. he’s 9. he has panic attacks over his dad. he loves his daddy but his daddy has asked him to lie and keep quiet about where they go etc. he’s tells a good lie. i’m afraid the mediator will give him unsupervised visitation when he comes to visit from vegas. we’re in illinois. what are the chances that i can prove he subjects his children to immoral situations. what do i have to do to get my ducks in a row to prove his judgement is impaired. do i need statements from past women, his ex-wife, his eldest son’s school counselor? right now it just looks like we’re all angry women. but i’m trying to protect my child from being hurt like his eldest brother is hurting. HELP.
