State: Kentucky
2 years ago my parents took my wife and I to court over my son. He was 8 years old and primarily lived with them because we had him so young. He was comfortable there and felt he was being ripped from his home when he stayed with us. Through mediated we agreed on a custody where they are the custodial parents and I pay $100 a month. They didn't want any money but there lawyer told them the judge would require they take money before he signed off on it. I began writing them check which they ripped up and said we don't wont your money we don't need it don't pay us. OK.
So now 2 years later they have become angry with me because I won't let me daughter go to there house 7 days a week. Now my daughter visits her grandparents a lot, probably more than any grandparent gets to see there grand kids. So now they are threatening to take me to court because I haven't paid them the $100 a month. Now if they want it I will pay it, no reason to go to court since they refused to take the $100 from me.
However the court document states that my son us supposed to stay with us on the weekends. He doesn't. It also states they are supposed to pay half of this medical bills. They don't. It also states that whoever gets the most money back on there taxes from claiming him is the one who should claim him and then the money will be placed into a college fund for him. They claim him every year knowing they won't get a penny back. They are self employed and they pay taxes every year, they don't get a refund. So they claim him so that they owe less on there taxes and thus his college fund is $0.
If they actually try to take me to court won't they get in a lot of hot water for not paying half his medical bills and claiming him on there taxes for there benefit instead of allowing me to claim him so I can put the money in his college fund as the court document states?
They also think they can take me to court over my daughter. My daughter has never lived with them. My wife and I have a nice house, this is where she lives with her 3 year old brother. We live really close to them so my daughter goes over there house almost every other day to spend time with them. Yet they feel they have some sort of rights over her and that I am responsible for making sure she is there when they want and for a certain amount of time. Correct me if I'm wrong but if I decide that my daughter needs to be home more and that she can visit them once a week, that's my right and there is nothing they can do about it. Would a judge actually make me take my daughter to her grandparents house on certain days so many times a week? I feel like my daughter has multiple parents and like I am helpless!
On top of all this my parents are flat broke. They just got on food stamps and I have, out of the kindness of my heart, paid there water bill, cable bill and electric bill for them the past couple of months. There water and electric has been turned off multiple times and I had it turned back on for them. Not to mention misc stuff I've paid such as a recent ticket my dad received and other odds and ends. They can barley afford to stay in there house let alone be responsible for my son anymore.
