If the Custodial Parent has agree to give Non Custodial Parent Custody...

by Confused Father
(Houston TX)

Last week I spoke with the mother of my son, and after a few days she verbally agree to give me custody, I told her that as soon as he is enrolled in school we need to go to the AG and change child support I will continue to pay the arrears because I feel that I owe her that but I will not be receivng child support from her because I know I will never receive anything because she doesn't work and does not have a GED to even get a job, she has another son from another man that is disabled(that is why she can't work so she says but the boy goes to school)Anyways when I asked her for my son Birth cert, SS card and other info to enroll him in school, she is draging her feet! I have to have my son enrolled in school by friday, What am I suppose to do? I don't know since she has never had a job if she understand the concept of deadlines or not (this is the real world and I feel like she is living in a dream world and does not care if my son gets enrolled in school or not). SO what am I to do? Am afraid that at the last minute she is going to say she wants him back. My son does not want to be with his mother he is tired of the drugs, booze, sex all being done in front of him. He says he want to have a normal life. So what do I need to do? Please Help?

IT'LL WORK OUT
by: Anonymous

1. get any transfer of custody in writing and solemnize it with the courts after he's enrolled in school for a bit.

hand-write out a letter to be signed by her and you giving you physical custody of the child spelling out that the kid's gonna live with you permanently, that she's relinquishing custody to you, etc. and have her sign it (preferably in front of a neutral witness and have the witness sign it too;

2. forget about trying to get documents from her -- get them yourself. goto vitalrecords.com and order them. you can get a birth cert in 1 day, from there you can get a duplicate Social Security card, then a state ID for the kid, then you can get shot records, etc to enroll him for school.

3. you owe the arrearage - forget that "I feel I should pay it". either you owe it or you don't and you owe it.

4. quit beating up on her and worry about you -- even if she is pathetic. dont call CPS, the IRS, the FBI etc. forget about her and work on you being a great dad. get that kid set up -- housing, own room, toys, positive peers, a good environment, ID, good school, good clothes.

congrads on getting custody. i'm sure it will work out fine and you'll be a great dad.

p.s. the tough times go by faster than you think. don't blink.

Protect your son
by: Stepmother of 3

You need to Call CPS on that ..... If all of this is happening in front of your son it is considered child abuse in the state of texas. also I would really reconsider letting her receive back child support, because all you are doing is supporting her drug habit. Also get a lawyer
