Issues
I have a 6yr old son and 4yr old son that I barely see at all because the mother decided to move out of state without my permission; and me being nice did not go to the courts to tell them the situation so she would not get in big trouble. And now its tax season and all together she has 5 children 2 of which are mine. She will not let me claim my them for this year unless I give her half. With that being said I am re-married with a daughter struggling to make ends and my wife that I love dearly has to pay for everything for my 17 month old from diapers to clothes.
I just make enough for rent and car insurance{thank god no car not) she pays pretty much everything else. I understand that my ex-wife is struggling with 5 kids but I do my best to provide for my sons but its also not fair to my daughter who gets nothing from me financially. My ex-wife doesn't understand that I have a family of my own that must be taken care of also. So now that I will not give her half she will not let me claim them; she also collects unemployment from the state she left which means she cannot claim her children or file at all because of the tax differences which she says from states so now she will have a friend claim my sons and keep the money for herself.
Because of how things are going in my life I have had no choice but to return to the military for a more somewhat better stable life so that I can provide. I'm in the process of getting custody agreement modified to summers and every other holiday which will rotate every year. But as of right now its just every other weekend therefore impossible to see them at this time. All I can do is keep my head and fight until the issues are resolved.
