Guys,
The judge gave the full custody of my son to me! I am so happy about this.
My ex wife moved out on 1/5/2006 and soon after moved in with a guy. I filed for divorce later in Jan. 06 and she responded in Feb. 06. We could not get agreement on child custody because she wanted me to have 100% physical custody but she did not want to pay any child support. I have agreed and still not get any financial support from her but refused to sign a form to avoid my right to request any child support in the future. She did not visit our son from Jan. to May 06 and started visited him once a week from 8:00am to 4:00pm. By the way, my son now is 2 ½ years old.
Anyway, before she moved out, she many times threatened me to burn down my house and also my parents’, she would rather kill me etc. After she moved out, she keeps making those threats when I brought up the issue of child custody and so. I did not treat those threats seriously until I talked to someone. I filed for a restraining order base on the threats she made in September, 2006 and in the same month, she had a motion of bifurcation to end status of the marriage only, so the marriage ended in Oct. 06.
My restraining order was given for 30 days and a hearing day was set. I asked the court provided county shrift department to serve the hearing paper to my ex and she did not show up during the first hearing due to thrift dept. could not locate her. The hearing was postponed for 30 days. I had one of my friend handed over the hearing notice in a large yellow envelope at a public parking lot in front of a local supper market when she brought back our son on the day she visited him.
She did not show up on the 2nd hearing date again and the judge issued 5 years of the restraining order and full custody. The judge even gave me the right to tape her threats without her notice including phone conversation. The judge told me that I should also request for child support and court provided me the county CSE information. I have no plan to go after her for some money because I don’t think anyone should be forced to raise their kids. I enjoy raising my son and I now have the ability to do so, therefore I chose not to contact the CSE. I don’t know why she did not show up; I think she did not even bother to look at the envelope that my friend handed over. Well, I think that is not my problem. I am happy now. I still let her to visit our son on the day she picks. She normally sees him once a week for few hours. She still sometime calling me names and so, I just mostly ignore her. I wish her new guy will do better with her.
My son and I just had a wonderful thanksgiving weekend. We had thanksgiving fest at my one of my relative’s house with 30+ people. My son played with many kids there and he even laughed in the dream at that night. I took him for a pony ride and train ride on the day after the thanksgiving. Sure we went to church on Sunday too. I really thankful for the god gave me a prefect son.
I wish all you guys had a wonderful time too.
