What is the name of your state? Kansas
My parents divorced 15 years ago, it was very bitter and ugly. I'm looking for comments about my brother....Trust me, this part is important... in Kindergarten, bro was held back (dyslexia) and in 7th grade dad chose to hold him back. He could have passed, dad made the choice to do this. When he was about 12 my dad bribed my brother w/ the promise of a horse if bro would live w/ dad. there was nothing legal stating the horse would belong to bro. Dad took mom to court for child support. 1 other bro stayed w/ mom (was under 18). Dad moved w/ bro, 3-1/2 siblings and stepmom to Colorado. That is 6 people in a 1 bedroom house he is buying. When bro turned 18, dad sued mom for more child support since bro was still in high school due to being held back. Court ordered mom to pay until bro was 19 bcuz he was held back in kindergarten. If this is bad enough, but here is where it really gets me. When they moved to this house, my bro bought a truck w/ camper top and had an electric cord run to truck for heat. (since there wasn't enough room in house for all 6 people) Later we learned even more, Dad has been charging bro 100/mo to take care of the horse that wasn't legally his before he turned 18. Also, the day bro turned 18 dad started charging bro "lot rent" even tho he was collecting support from mom. In the end, bro couldn't afford to live there anymore and had to move. Dad says bro still owed rent, and as payment for rent, he "took" bro's horse away, even tho dad had been making profits off of stud fees and bro was paying for the maintenance of horse. I have a couple of questions, 1 is what dad did to bro legal (in Colorado), and would the state see 5 people living in a 1 bdrm home unfit? other siblings are 11,8, and 4. I would like to see them away from dad if possible. I love dad, but he is a lousy father. I know this is long, but didn't know what would be important to know. Dad is not abusive to kids w/ stepmom, he was only abusive to us bcuz he hates mom so much he took it out on us. Please give some advise. thanks!!
