Re: Can't get ex to help pay for braces.

"Of course, because, AS USUAL, you completely missed the point. Bottom line, if the CP cannot afford braces, NO ONE forces them to get them put on the child. But if the NCP cannot afford them, oh well, too bad, so sad, get a second job, cause THEY got a COURT ORDER."
Yes, you did miss the point... I figured out how to pay for what my kid needed at the time. The ncp has the same option.
"Its NOT about MONEY, its about the NCP's removal of BASIC parental rights, and then CHARGING them for the choices of the CP."
Eh, I didn't remove any basic rights he didn't willingly give up. I followed the recommendation of her dentist and orthodontist. Both of which cost money, btw.
"Sure, it was the JUDGE'S fault (and I will agree that the judge was partially to blame) not YOUR fault, for filing in the FIRST place to have your ex pay for COSMETIC work you had done on the child."
You missed it again, where the work done was to prevent more severe work needing to be done later down the road. But yeah, I'm guessing if the judge felt it was a frivolous claim, he would have thrown it out? Not sure, I got a default judgment.
"YOU had a CHOICE. He did NOT."
I had the choice of how I was going to pay for it. He still hasn't paid for it, it was added to his cs arrears lol. But yeah, he is the victim here, it is outrageous, keep fighting the good fight here... **chucklesnort**
"Yet he shoudl ACT like a "full" parent, right?"
Eh, I've given up on him acting like any parent... full, half, quarter, whatever. His choice **shrugs**
"Yeah, going to COURT over braces sounds like CO-PARENTING to me. And since you DID have to go to court, I guess he has as much say as he wants...unless he disagrees with YOU< right? "
Eh, you don't have a clue what I have and haven't done. And no, at this point, he has chosen the option of zero say. If he started to give input again, I'd probably smile and nod at this point... and then do it my way. Not giving a $hit is a wonderful thing.
