What is the name of your state? AR
My husband and I have been divorced for over 3 years. He has consistenly paid his child support, but has never been consistent with his visitation to our 7 year old daughter. On more than one occasion he has brought her home intoxicated. He has a DUI as well. He has forgot to pick her up more than once at DayCare without calling me.
He recently got married to a 21 year old (He's 42, I'm 27). His wife has never been away from her mother until now.
The child never wants to go with him and believes that we are punishing her for making her go. She says she feels uncomfortable around him and his wife. On 2 or 3 occasions I have limited his visitation because she screams, kicks and cries not wanting to go. It's a sad thing to see. He throws it in my face that he gets visitation regardless of the child's feelings. However, I must lookout for the child's feelings, too.
About 3 months ago, he agreed (in order to have more money in his pocket) to give up all parental rights and signed a document in front of a notary public. He was given 10 days to revoke his decision. On day 9, he did.
Since things were not going to change, I filed a motion to have him slowly work into this with his new wife until his daughter felt comfortable aobut this man and his wife.
In retaliation, he filed a lawsuit, asking for full custody and me make payments to him. That his new wife cares more for the child more than myself. I have had nothing but trouble since the divorce from him. I have a lawyer scheduled this week. Can someone out there tell me your thoughts. My opinion is that him and his new wife want to play house. The sad thing is that the child will be the one who suffers through all this.
Would the courts really do this?
