Here we go round the Mulberry Bush

Gotta go to court soon....Gotta get things changed with access, so I dont have to keep Travelling one hour there and one hour back, so Father can see his Son.

He aint paying child support and its costing me $20 in fuel. Our son travels well but, with summer coming up a two hour journey is not going to be fair on him.

So I decided sons father will come here thru contact service, so I dont see him. This will be presented to the court and I dont care what they say... Im not backing down!

Im pretty sure though that this will be the outcome, that he will have to travel to see our son. He has 4 hour visits every 2nd weekend thats all he wanted! I must say I was surprised but then maybe not since he has another woman in his life now.

I can only hope he pisses off with her and leaves us alone! We neither want or need him. He's a crazy ass shit. He'll ruin her life with his lies, his womanising and financial woes caused by his drinking and sex addiction, just like he did me and two others before me.

Anyway thats not in my power or control.

Let go and let God,
Easy does it,
live and let live,
First things first,
One day at a time,
Keep it simple,
Think,
Listening and learning is.

That is my Focus...on my life with my Son.

One thing I am learning thru all this upheaval is the Serenity Prayer.

God Grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot Change,
Courage to change the things I can
and Wisdom to know the difference.

Thankyou for reading.

You go for what you want and hopefully you will win. What about a half way place with a person there to give bubs to him and return you after visitation. Just a thought?

Glad you are finding prayer helpful.

Go Cherry!!!

God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
& Wisdom to bury the bodies of the people I may have to kill because they piss me off!!

Round & round the mulberry bush,
To do a fart you gotta push!!

Treat everything in life like a Fox Terrier-
If you cant eat it or screw it,
Piss on it & walk away!!

~You may find he no longer visits his son if he has to do the driving.

~Think twice before allowing him to have your address, visitation can be done at a community centre in the next suburb.

~Ask in court about having his wages garnisheered.
Just be careful they list the formula rather than a set amount.
ie- if he's currently liable for say $100p/m & its set @ that in court papers, if he changes jobs & earns 80k, he'll still be liable for $100p/m unless u get it changed in court.

The other way is u get his share of sale from the house & he pays nothing for ? yrs

Thats how my Mum kept her house, but that was nearly 20yrs ago...

Just some things for you to think about...

Good luck with the Court case. You have a strong argument.

It's fair enough that he do the travelling, not you.
