also he is living with his gf whom has a 2 bedroom home with two kids a boy and a girl boy is 10 and girl is 5 the boy has a room and the girl sleeps in with my ex and his gf and then when my sons and his 2nd wifes kids go over on the same weekend my kids are on the living room floor and his other kids from marriage two are in the bedroom with ex and his gf they are 1 and 3 .
i have been taking care of my sons for 10 1/2 yrs they always had beds ,clothes and roof over there heads clothes on ther back and food in there mouths i am a good mom my kids are my life i am here for them 24/7 i never done anything wrong to my kids ....there needs come before any man or anything .....i went to all school meetings and i call all the time to recieve help for my sons .....i think its messed up that when a women sues for support that is the only time someone wants to take the kids from the other parent .

That was very hard to read without any punctuation or caps.
My Advice:
Get a lawyer
Bring the lawyer a copy of the medical report from the neck injury to your son.
Call CPS right now and tell them what is going on --(cps is child protective services.... They will investigate...Tell them that this man Needs HELP. I'm sorry that his girlfriend is such a stupid *7%$# but NO CHILD should be choked to keep them in line.. and if his girlfriend is not smart enough to leave him and lets him do this to her child then someone needs to step in and help that 10 year old little boy!!!!)
I doubt he has a chance in hell of getting your boys considering that he could not even house them!

does he really have a chance to take my sons after i have been raising them on my own for ten years with his big 50 aweek in support
for four boys wasnt nothing he thinks its all the money they needed to raise them he has no clue how much money it really takes ..
when i use to ask him for help wit school clothes he handed me a 20 dollar bill i was like what is this gonna do he said you can buy pants with it i was like its 14 dollars a pair he is like so buy one at a time.
it was unbelievable these were his kids two and he never had time for them when they were small and even now
i did and do
everything doctor appts dentist appts hospital visits when my sons would get hurt i would call him he would be like just call me later and let me know how he is you know
what after awhile i just stopped calling him .
when my 13 yr old had his migranes up crying a puking i was the one up with him when he was a baby got colds and sick i was the one who took care of him .
i took care of all four of my sons for yrs without him .
back in dec my 14 yr old needed knee surgery i was there oh and i was there for him when he had his tonsils out ...back to the knee surgery his dad couldnt be there cause of work but the next week after my sons surgery he went with his gf to take her son to get his foot checked but couldnt take the day off for his sons major knee surgery,,,nothing would keep me away from my sons no job nothing they are more important to me...you can always get another job.,.
he is always taken off work but he couldnt that day yes it makes me angry cause it hurt my son and it still bothers him .
i have been with my boys since 96 of nov did
it on my own
yes so i sued
him finally after doing it on my own,cause he stopped paying his big 50 aweek and now there older they need more i cant do it on my own so i sued him then he sued me cause he doesnt want to pay for his kids.
its not fair for us moms that take good care of the kids never hurt them
was and is always there for them thru all theses yrs and now to pay court cost and all other things to keep your children cause the father doesnt want to pay .
i can tell you so many other things that had happen but i would be here a long time.

Okay, you did what a parent does. Your ex didn't. You had (and still have) a legal responsibility to report your ex for abusing your son. If a person is or has abused your child, your response is not to say, "but they may want to have a relationship with their father." Your job is to report the abuse to the authorities and then work as much as you can with the DA to get the stiffest sentence possible for the jerk. Your kids' safety comes WAY before any desire they might have in the future to know him. When your kids are 18 and able to make their own decisions about him, then they can decide. Until then, you decide for them that NOBODY has the right to abuse your child in any way, shape, or form. IF you DON'T report this and you let him get away with hurting them, you are abetting the abuse. Get it? You are not wrong to file for child support. Your sister is correct. Unless the court finds you to be unfit, you will not lose your children.

i think the main reason i didnt report it is cause i am still afraid of my ex .i know i should have and wish till this day i have i didnt call the police but i did call women in crisis i also took him to the doctor told his family doc whom he always sees what had occurred and told the school counsler so they can help me ...but i did tell ppl what happened hoping they would do something and i would get help if he acted out he has a bad temper i know i felt his abuse while we were married ....how long do you have to report a abuse after it happened ..can i still talk to someone about it now even though we are going thru a custody issue ...
see he threatened the boys that if they go to see his parents they will be punished and that they have no reason to be at there grandparents house ..they love there grandparents they never harmed the boys .
he is just pissed at his parents cause they do not want the gf in there home.he is welcomed but she isnt so now the ex and her doesnt want the boys to see them cause they do not want her in there home..
he is welcomed but not her and he picked her over them that is his doings but to hurt your child by keeping them away from them is bs.
so the grandmother was here to see them on sunday and i told her they kids are not going to stop seein them i will take them to see her if she wants me to and she said plz dont keep them away ,,,,i know they didnt do anything to my kids they never once ever hurt them they gave them love and respect and have been there for these kids all there lives he isnt going to make theses children suffer and not let them have a relationship with there grandparents ...i will be telling the eval and the courts that he threatened them with this and told them they have no reason being at there grandparents hello this is there family if he doesnt want anything to do with them cause they dont like his new gf they so be it,,and i think he needs to grow up he sounds like he is in grade school....
like i said before if my parents didnt like someone i was wit i would still go see my parents ,just leave him at home ...this is your parents ....and i wonder if and when he leaves her like he does to everyother women ..will he be back at his parents kissing there butt yes he will be ...he is blinded by money she has and she has him under her control and when he sees everything in a different lite it will be to late.
he left two families with kids....moved in with a women whom has two kids of her own he is still married to his second wife ,,,just got caught having sex at work with a co-worker you really think this relationship is going to last plz
there is so much more you wouldnt believe it.
my relationship i had since he left me ....i lived on my own with my boys for 9 yrs just moved in last aug 2005 with my fiance my main focus was always my sons .
i have been with him and only him all this time ..
he has been thru more women then you can believe
i dont care but i think that had and has a affect on my sons do you think ?

First of all in the state of PA it is AGAINST THE LAW TO NOT REPORT CHILD ABUSE. You can get into trouble for not reporting it.....ALL OF YOUR KIDS CAN BE PUT INTO FOSTER CARE IF THIS COMES OUT IN A CUSTODY HEARING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am shocked that your family Doctor did nothing about this b/c it is also against the law. I know this because I work in the medical field and took an oath to report any crimes against a child or elderly person that I am aware of. First get that straight. Second your ex-husband will only get supervised visitations if anything after you do this and he will still have to pay support.
And yes it is not good for kids to be around multiple relationships as your ex has had. But you have been the main influence so hopefully they have learned from you example.

i did report it to the family doctor ,women in crisis and school counslers its not that it happened and i said nothing i was looking for someone to help me so how can my children be taken from me.....i was terrified of my ex and part of me still is but i know i have to stand up to him for my kids ...i am a good mom .i will never make that mistake again .
i love my boys there are my life and i will fight for them always .
thanks for the response.
yes he has been in alot of relationships and got caught havin sex at work with a co worker behind boxes my kids know about this.i dont want them to think that this is ok to do .
i have been with my fiance for 10 1/2 yrs i have lived on my own for 9 1/2 of those yrs
my fiance and i bought a nice big home for the boys so we can all be together i waited for years to do this cause i didnt want to ruin things and cause i wanted it to be fair to my sons and when they were ready for that move ..
i had and still have a solid relationship.i want the kids to learn from that.
thanks for your post

I assume it means that the decision has been made and you have a court date so that the judge can inform you of his ruling. Nobody has any way to know what the judge has decided, if that is what you are asking.
tinalee1972
09-29-2006, 04:49 AM
i paid for a home eval back in aug and i never heard from them nor did they come to due the home eval,,so how can a judge rule?
dont they have to due the home eval first since it was ordered by the courts?
what if i paid and my ex didnt?
MissingStepkids
09-29-2006, 06:28 AM
Most evaluators require that the money is paid before the evaluations will begin. Does your order say an evaluation or does it say a home evulation? If it only says an evaluation, the evaluator does not have to visit your home.
How many times did you and/or your children visit with the evaluator?
mommyof4
09-29-2006, 06:41 AM
Another possibility (slim as it may be) is that the evaluator informed the court that your ex was not cooperating with the evaluatoin process, so the judge made a ruling. Obviously, if that were the case, it would NOT be a ruling favoring your ex. Please remember that we are just listing possibilities and have no idea what the judge is doing.

i just got a letter from my lawyer my ex is being held in contempt of court we have togo to court on oct 6th ...does anyone know now what will happen?
this is for him not paying the half of his evaluation.
tinalee1972
10-01-2006, 06:23 AM
three visits to the evaluator and one at the home....we both had to pay 1050 to the evaluator i paid mine on aug 17th ,,,he never paid so ....i was wondering why so much time was going by and nothing was happening .
i got a letter yesterday in the mail that he is being held in contempt of court for not paying his half..
so now we have a court hearing for contempt of court .
which my lawyer told me it doesnt look good for him cause he was the one that started this.
after i sued him for support after only getting 50 a week for four boys for 10 yrs there all teenagers now .. there ages are 16 14 13
my oldest graduated this year and is 18 .
that 50 aweek didnt do crap
MissingStepkids
10-01-2006, 06:50 AM
Were the two of you given a deadline to pay for the evaluation?
Did your laywer file the contempt of court charges?
tinalee1972
10-01-2006, 07:26 AM
yes we were giving a deadline the order was made july 28th we had 20 days to pay well i paid mine aug 17th ...
i called my lawyer on friday asking her why i havent heard anything...she said do you know if your ex paid i said no i only talk to him about the kids .
well she told me it was way over due for the evaluation i said what if he doenst pay she said he will be held in contempt.......well i got a letter the next day from my attorney stating he is being held in contempt and that there is a hearing for oct 6th .
all my lawyer told me is that it will not look good for him cause he filed this .
i believe the eval sent a letter to the court house to let them know my ex did not pay the court order that he is in contempt
turbowray
10-01-2006, 08:40 AM
Yes, since you paid and the ex did not, he is being held in contempt, there is nothing you can do but wait until the Oct.6th. hearing. I would imagine that the judge is going to force him to pay for the eval, other than that, we once again, can not tell you what a judge is going to decide. I can tell you, again, as others have allready, that this is NOT looking good for your husband, and at this rate, you have nothing to worry about. Has your lawyer asked for a restraining order against your ex? This could make your case stronger for you keeping custody, and he only recieving supervised visits. I would also demand that the g/f not be the supervisor either, since she has made it clear that abuse is tolerated by her also! Did you make a police report? I know you told people, but did you go to the police and file a report for assault for your son?

Brother and sister can not share a room after a certain age, there are cases at the court house library stating same. You would need definate proof and would need to talk to your attorney about filing something with cys (child youth serv) in your county....I had a friend who had to do it in berks cnty....the child was not allowed to stay overnight anymore until the father got suitable bedroom space for the children...

My ex's attorney had asked for a payment plan of 6 months cause he is unable to come up with the money for the home eval the judge told him do you realize your asking for 6 months to pay then it will take like another 6 months to have a home eval and everything done and then you go back into a modified hearing again and if you still dont agree then it goes to trial.
this is bs so we are looking at what about a year and a half
by this time my sons will be
matt is 16 now lets see by the time this is all over he might be 18
justin is 14 now then about 16
brandon 13 now then be about 15

Will He Have To Come Up With The Money Sooner Or Will We Go Right To Court Or Will All This Stupid Crap End ?
