BM going after full custody

timemachine's picture

My DH and I have moved an hour away from where we used to live. BM see this as an opportunity to try and get full custody of SS7 back. She claims we moved him away from all his family and it is not in Ss7's best interest to move where we did. Now all of that is bullshit because SS7 will see his mother and other side of the family just as often as he does now.

BM is at the state minimum for child support, is in and out of jail, and definitely not the moty. There are many more details to her poor life choices that I don't have time to write them all.

BM takes Credit

DH and I have SS7 full time so BM pays child support. BM is at the state minimum for a monthly child support payment and still won't pay that. BM has paid CS 3 out of 8 months this year. STILL BM tells ss7 she has to give DH "all her money" to pay for the nice things ss7 gets. Dh and I bought a house because we worked for it and continue to do so. We pay for all expenses yet BM takes credit for bday gifts, school supplies, clothes shopping trips, ECT. BM's CS payment would pay for 1 week of daycare and 1 tutoring session...once again she RARELY pays.

Today was actually pretty good.

SS7 is usually a well behaved kid. He also talks about anything and everything...i know he is being good but this week i couldn't take much of it. After work i am tired and get annoyed easier. I will take my time cooking dinner just so i don't have to talk so much and am counting down to when DH gets home.

I should consider myself lucky since this is not a huge issue. There are times after DH gets home i go lay in bed with a book for some peace and quiet. I love my alone time! Maybe I should take a bath tonight with some wine...it helps me relax after working hard!

Advise on how to handle hostile exchanges?

If any of you have a violent BM to deal with...advice is welcome.

Every exchange is terrible. BM cusses, yells, talks shit and more just about every time now. DH and I record her doing it too. Bm has chased my car down and followed me to DH's mother's house to yell and tell me she is going to "get me" one day...which I assume means fight me.

Recently we moved an hour away from her dumb ass. Thankfully DH has custody of SS7. I feel a lot better here and it is more private.
