Mental Mom and Child Support

by Bill
(IL, USA)

My ex-wife is a mental case! I took her to court 4 years ago and got the kids. She will not pay child support but she will insist on seeing them whenever she wants - not according to the papers but I let her to keep the peace. Now she wants a paper filed saying she does not want to see them until they are 18. (I have a copy of this paper she signed and dated) She then took the kids to lunch on Mothers day and told them this! What a mother's day, two weeks later she comes back wanting the kids every other weekend? She is destroying the children mentally and emotionally. First she wants to be a part of their lives then she wants nothing to do with them. What am I to do? How can I protect my children from this emotional trauma?



Hello Bill, in my opinion I think you need to file for child support and have the courts enforce payments if she wants to be apart of her children's life. It sounds like she cannot make up her mind as to be in her children's life. She is going to have to grow up and take on her responsibilities. As far as not wanting to see her children until they're 18 years of age is unacceptable. I would ask her to give up her rights that way your children do not have to suffer on an emotional rollercoaster. Just my opinion.-Webmaster
