At 2pm, I have to be in court to begin a custody battle. My ex is trying to take my 11 year old dd away from me.

I will explain more later.



Thoughts and prayers while I am there will be greatly appreciated.




Update:

We are being scheduled for mediation. The judge didn't make a decision today. I'm not surprised, though. I didn't really expect him to hand custody over to my ex. I asked for no overnight visits until his trash ass girlfriend stops smoking inside their home while dd1 is there for the weekend (she came home from her summer visit with bronchitis), but didn't get that either.

He lied a lot in there, and I didn't have a chance to respond to all of it (the judge didn't have time to hear all of it). Then, his girlfriend called me a liar, and said that dd1 didn't come home with bronchitis (the doctor apparently lied, also).

There's no way a judge will award custody to him when he(ex) has no grounds to contest your custody. He doesn't even have a job!

That's actually why I think he wants custody of her. She was approved for SSI payments, which should be starting up soon. Oh, and child support. He wants me to pay him c/s.

Him and my ex should get together and talk about the various ways they can get out of working.

Your poor dd. :( I used to have bronchitis frequently, and I'd get it every time I was around smoking.

Ugh. NO kidding. My ex always tries the latest and greatest get rich scheme (like Amway, or that phone thing when phone service was first unregulated). It never works out. "lol9" He's sold diet suckers, all kinds of crazy shite. :rolleyes:

I quit smoking while pregnant with dd2 (I managed a tobacco store where we could smoke in, and all our customers did, so quitting was impossible while I worked there). So, I've been an ex-smoker for seven months. But, even when I smoked, I always went outside. My kids don't smoke, they shouldn't have to inhale my second hand smoke.

My mom has polyps in her lungs from being around my grandma and grandpa's second hand smoke. :( She also has asthma and is very allergic to cig smoke. Hell, even candle smoke (from cheap candles) bothers her.

I yelled at my big brother tonight for lighting up when the kids and I were visiting. Some people are just fucksticks, aren't they? (I am on glass three right now "lol9").

I really hate it when smokers don't respect other peoples wishes about smoking. I am a smoker but we do not smoke around our kids.
DH's parents smoke...A LOT...and I have always had a hell of a time convincing them to not smoke around ds1.

I do not even allow ds2 over there.

Because even if they don't smoke in the house when the kids are there ds1 still comes home reeking of it.
Course I am not convinced yet that they are smoking outside while ds1 is over there.

They always have to do the opposite of what I want them to do. They are immature assholes.
