HELL NO! someone out there please share some sucess stories w/ me!!!!! maybe send a little phin ppower my way to keep me from getting arrested tomorrow should i come face to face with this loser

UPDATE-
round 2 is tomorrow. we have another court date. i called and they said as far as they could tell he had not been served w/ papers, so it will likely be more of the same. which would be nothing

There's a special corner of hell reserved for deadbeat dads.

thanks E, what makes it worse is he has another daughter from the wife after me. she is in the process of turning him in too. people like him should not be allowed to reproduce

Sorry LJ.

Maybe you should ask Buffettbride about that one. Good luck, LJ!!

Hey lovin underscore...Good luck with butthead...

Most of the dads do the right thing ... unfortunately some dont ... but the majority do the right thing (I can speak on Australian statistics here with confidence) ...

Wishing you hope tomorrow.

Advice? Remember to stick to the facts. Emotion usually over rides your thinking and it wont win an argument. They can only deal with the facts - I know it is hard -but that is what you have to do.

My kids mom and I split up when my boys were very young. We had our differences but there was never any question that they would grow up with a mother AND a father. I have passed up several job opportunities that would have required my moving away from them. I wouldn't change it. Anyway the ex and I are good friends now and we have 2 well adjusted boys. Good students, good scouts and good citizens. Best part is she and Jeepgirl are good buddies!

That's excellent advice-it won't be easy, but I can promise you that if you show you're able to control your emotions, it'll definately go in your favor.

MY only question, however, is WHERE THE HELL IS LORENA BOBBIT WHEN YOU NEED HER???

My Ex's child support comes directly out of his check every week. That is the only reason that I actually get money. My daughter sees him a few times a year and when she comes home he rarely calls to talk to her and has basiclly no contact with her until the next time she goes out of state to visit him. I would like to ask him to sign over his rights so that my husband could adopt...but I'm not sure how he would take it.

Despite his short comings my daughter adores him...grrr...and he tells her he will call and then doesn't follow through. He gives the excuse that he's "so busy". F*** that. He doesn't know busy. Full time job, mother, wife, and part time student,shuffling two kids to parties and practice and games, school events.....and so on....and he is to busy to pick up a phone once in a while...what ever... I guess it could be worse.

Good luck LJ

PHin Power and Good Luck

This may not be exactly what you are looking for, but....

One of the local Atlanta radio stations has a bit called "Dead Beat Dad Patrol". They hire an investigator to track the dad down and find out where his money is really going. Then, live on air, they go to the house to confront the dad. Everyone in the city gets to hear what a low-life this guy really is.

goood luck to you today. Let us know how it goes....

I really, really feel for you LJ and hope things go well for you and your daughter.

I count my blessings every day that, although my daughter's father and I couldn't stay married, we both made the committment very early on to always have our daughter's best interests in the forefront of our minds. It's so hard to put emotions aside, especially when you're dealing with someone you really can't stand or relate to any more. My daughter was 10 when my ex and I divorced......I'm remarried, he's not. It was hard alot of times but we always had a common goal.....what's best for our daughter. We have worked together as best we could, always sharing the bills and our opinions on what should happen. My husband likes my ex and has always been a great mediator when the going got tough. Like I said, we've been lucky. My daughter is now a freshman in college and made the President's List with a 4.0 her first semester. She talks to both her Mom and her Dad almost every day, and I'm glad for that. She needs both of us. People tend to forget that, I think. I have never been able to understand how someone can just check out on a child......their own child at that! I hope your daughter has someone in her life who can fill that void that is left by your ex. Best wishes to you!!!

My story is similiar to RWM's only my ex is the custodial parent. I thought it would be best for my son to have a strong father figure in his life. After a few rocky years we've become friends. I get along with his fiancee. Our son too is well adjusted, makes good grades and has a plan in place for his future. Night before last we sat down as a group with the rep from the school he's decided to attend after high school graduation to discuss housing, financial aid and various other items as a family. We also plan to all take him to his school - together when he goes there in late June.

I'm sorry for what you and other single parents have had to go thru. I wish you the best. BUT let's remember that there are also deadbeat moms out there as well.
