Good Dads Dont get Help !

by Ryan
(Houston texas)

I have been divorced for 3 years now. I have 2 kids with my ex. I pay 600 a month for my Kids child support I get them every weekend. It is 45 miles one way to get them. I have never missed a payment; I have always had Insurance on them, health, dental, and vision. Today I tried to tell my ex, I am tired of my Girls Having Lice and to check their friends Hair. Well that did not go over so well. Now she is saying she is going to take me back to court and get more money from me because I made her mad. I have to deal with this every time she gets mad. I have a new Child 17m old and I am getting married at the end of the Month. I never ask for her to send the girls with anything. I have them their own room with all their own cloths and every thing they need if they were to come Live with me. Their mom has 2 other kids with someone else and I feel like I am taking care of them too. I know how money is spent on my kids; I know 600 a month is more then enough for my kids. I have more at my house then they have at theirs for the girls and I am always worried about making her mad. Well, today it is going to change. My kids have always been #1 in my life and it will always be that way. She has had Medicaid on them so when they go to the doctor, the 20% she has to pay she makes Medicaid pay for it. She lives off the system and yet I still could not take them away from her? What is wrong with Texas? We both had these kids, why don't we both have to try as Hard. How can you be a fit Parent if you live off Government aid? Please tell me there is hope. All I want is for my kids to have a Life with responsibility and meaning and to teach them you have to work to get any where in life and not to think it is ok to live how they live now. I want so much for them and at the same time for them to know right and wrong and be held accountable for any action they take. My kids are 6 and 7.... Should there be a chance that a great dad like me get a break and Have my Kids. I am willing to give her 600-month and still keep my kids if it took that?

small mindedness

each case should be approached different. in mine my ex-wife has not worked in 3.5yrs has lived in 15 diff locations and off other people. i am a nurse who has resided in the same local for 3 yrs and provided financially and emotionally for my son. we have joint custody 2 weeks rotating. my son turned 5 and his mother now lives 200 miles away. so for the best interest of my son i took her to court to settle the distance issue= resulting in me losing my joint custody reducing it to every other weekend and now paying child support to this dead beat mom. so don't jump to conclusions about a child needing to be with their mom. right or wrong the courts will pick the mother no matter how big a loser she is.

Of course there is hope Ryan, there is always hope. There is hope until the end of time here on earth. Have you tried to file for full-custody of your children. Some mothers take great advantage of the system and their ex, I personally couldn't and didn't. I lived in Houston for 13 of the worst months of my life. You'll have to be far more aggressive than you already are. Small children are supposed to stay with their mothers until age 14. This doesn't always happen, my physically abusive ex lied so very well that my son was forcibly removed from my care at age 7 and I haven't seen or heard from him in 20 years, it's called divorce poison. My son believed the lies his father told him about me and preferred to stay with him in order not to be abused.
