Hello all,

This seems like an outstanding resource. I wanted to get some advice from fathers like me that have been in my situation.

My wife (soon to be ex-wife) filed the dissolution paperwork in early September. Just last Friday I was served by my Mother-in-law. This only occured after I demanded I be served. To make a long story short, she was going to seperate from me in December of last year and we worked things out. I work two jobs, keep a roof over our heads and provide for my two children. She went out and got a job at a grocery store working late nights to mornings and ever since then, my life has changed. She is very combative almost to the point where she seems to be finding reasons to hate me. All she cares about is when I am taking the kids and money. I currently give her $600.00 per month for my two children ages 5 and 3. I think I am being reasonable and doing what I should to pay for the kids. She always resorts to name calling and wants to start arguements in front of the kids and I try real hard not to respond for the sake of the kids. I feel depressed, angry, frustrated, and confused. I still wish we could work things out and feel we never tried as hard as we could have for the sake of the children. It seems she is trying to justify her anger or the divorce by finding reasons to be furious with me. Like I said, I give her money every month and see the kids as much as 3 full days a week. Am I wrong to still care or is this normal? She has a family that supports the divorce due to cultural reasons and her mother will do anything to see this through. Just wanted some feedback. If not it felt good to vent. Thanks in advance.

Scott
