What is the name of your state? Illinois
Ok, as previous threads state...I'm dealing with some issues with my ex. We are due in court on the 11th of July, she has filed for an increase in child support and she wants me to pay full medical insurance and 100% of medical bills that insurance does not cover (actually she filed about a month ago, and never showed up for court ...so the state has jumped in and filed for the child support increase and medical). After spending the day with family and discussing all of the issues...we have decided to file for custody due to a change in circumstance.
I'm going to list what I have and please let me know what you think:
1. She lives with and is married to a felon. His charges range from DUI's, Drugs, assault towards a police office with a weapon, and I believe there are some battery charges as well.
2. In the 4 years we have been divorced she has had 2 jobs and worked a total of 6-7 months. Last job, her husband took off with her car in a rage and she was fired.
3. She lives in a trailer with no running water (it's been this way for about a year). The only baths my child gets is here every other weekend.
4. Up until the last month they were all staying in another trailer with a friend (a total of 11people in a 2 bdr trailer) b/c their electricity was shut off and they didnt have the $$ to pay the bill. My daughter was sharing a couch with another child, even on school nights when she needed adequate rest.
5. In the past she has been held in contempt for visitation interference, we were issued make up visitations etc. She does not support a healthy relationship between my daughter and I. In the past I've went months without seeing her due to this.
6. She is pregnant with her 3rd child, which she can not afford.
7. She had my daughter on Ridalin b/c she doesnt like to "deal with her". Dr's. in her town feel my daughter doesnt need the med and she had to travel an hour to find a Dr. that will give it to her. She no longer makes the travel b/c she can't afford it.
8. DCFS has been involved numerous times. I've called twice, the school once, and an unknown source another time. I called b/c her husband beat her with an extension cord and threw a microwave at her (mother). And called another time b/c her husband threw a tire iron through the windshiled of the car when she was trying to leave with children. My daughter was cut with the glass. DCFS removed her for 8 hrs and placed her with maternal grandmother who threatened to spank her for telling. School called b/c of burn on her back, my daughter stated her step-dad pushed her into the kitchen stove that they were using for heat, weeks later daughter changed story saying it was a "rug burn". She's 7...that was cohersed.
9. She says she wants to live here b/c step dad is mean.
Other issues, I've got to think and will post later. Please reply.
