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?

Stand Up for yourself
by: Anonymous

You need to stand up for yourself- just because she has your children does not make her god- these ex wives think they can run the show- first you need to get your divorce agreement amended to make visitation and the responsibility fair- you should share the responsibility of picking up or dropping off- if their is such a long distance-clearly she is not caring for your girls if they have lice- she is not spending their money on them- she sounds like a real class act. Get familiar with YOUR rights and then take the action to exercise them! You are NOT obligated to her- only to your girls- do what is best for THEM! She's just using the girls to manipulate you and that is wrong. I hope you resolve this and stand up for yourself. If you are a good father- then she shouldn't have the right to manipulate you or the system! Go to court- get a lawyer- defend yourself and use your rights!!!!

Good Moms Dont Get Help Either
by: Anonymous

It seems that in the State of Texas, good parents dont count. Or maybe the state of Texas just doesn't enforce their laws that they make. Im on the other side of the coin. I have custody of my two boys. My x lives off of the government because he refuses to work, the Attorney generals office refuses to help. I have pictures of this man at football games ect. climbing stairs, lifting things, ect. SSI denies his claim that he is disabled. Which he has tried to claim now for ten years, he has applied now for SSI about 30 times Im told. My boys have come back with Lice so many times I can't count. CPS states this is not a problem, he does drugs they state that isnt a problem. He's been arrest numerous times for drugs, hmm lives on the government, doesn't pay his support, has a brand new car. I work two jobs to support my children and I was told by our great govenor's office that if I got Tanf then they would help otherwise go get a lawyer. The good moms and dads don't get help either.
