Re: Morality Clause

Just keep your head up high. Your "moral" decisions are your business. People will judge you right and left but that's their opinion. His daughter is #1 priority to him (and you if that's your decision) and it helps to remind ALL parties involved that her needs come first. If you are aiding in that process, then good for you! I truly believe it takes a very big hearted person to care for other people's children. It's quite a task...and not just the parenting part, but the dealing with ex's, paying bills, being a girlfriend, helping parent a small child, AND still making time to work and live your life to the fullest. Good luck! Don't stress. It takes a lot to motion for some kind of "moral clause" and she would in deed have to prove that this is for the betterment of her child and if you can document how and when you help care for that child, it will make you look better in case you ever have to defend yourself. Any positive interaction you have with the ex (if any in the future) should be documented as well so you can show a judge that you did in deed have a good rapor with her at some point. This will make her look impulsive and jealous. Most judges don't really entertain jealousy or lashing out ex's. They can usually see through that bs.
