What is the name of your state? Florida
Hi
this is just a general question, we actually have an apointment with a laywer on wednesday but we are so frustrated we need to vent and maybe get some ideas.
MY Husband has joint custody of his children, we have the children from thursday morning until sunday evening, AND we pay child support and pay for thier insurance, thier mother has them from sunday evening until thursday morning,
recently the mother has started calling and harrasing us over really stupid things, for instance, the 7 yr old daughter needs counseling, shes having a very hard time with her parents divorce and actually mourns thier being together to the point she has started fabricating stories and going home telling her mom things that arent happening knowing her mom will calla nd jump all over her dad, anyway im getting away from myself,,,,,,,,,so the moms new husband has really good insurance for the kids and its in the divorce agreement that whoever has insurance provides for it but the father pays for it, so we pay for 100% of thier insurance every week plus 50% of the co-pay, thats also in the divorce papers that the parents split any doctor bills 50/50. so when the kids got insurance we started pushing the issue of counseling , the mom insisted SHE wuld find a counselor, so once a week we called her and asked and shed say yeah i have metings to interview them , well 10 weeks into the searching for a counselor things are still bad for the daughter, anyway finally an ultimatum was issued to the mother, give the father the insurance info so he can find a counselor or else hes going to just take them and then take the 50% of the bill out of her child support, which is allowed in the divorce papers, so miraculously she comes up with a counselor, shes ben known to take her other kid out of counseling when the finger was being pointed at her so we made sure the courts and counselors know this, anyway the kids LOVE the counselor, they have ben 5 times now, and the mom has pulled some pretty juvenille stuff in front of the counselor, we have gotten a good report from the counselor saying we are doing a good job the kids are happy at our home, and not to mention the fact that his kids and my kids get along amazingly well, anyway the counselor made a comment that the mom was dishonest in something she had done and now because the finger is being pointed at her, shes freaking out and has cancelled the kids insurance and left nasty vice mails saying that they cnt go anymore, well we have news for her, they will be going and everyone is going to pay for it, they like going and they need it, so sicne she cant get to us that way shes started calling several times a day yelling with petty complaints AND not shes insiting that on saturdays when the father works and his his days to have the kids that he drop them off at her house, she does not want me to watch her kids anymore , never mind they are happy here and love me to death, the daughter has issues but we get along, so shes threatening to take us to court which is ok, we hve nothing to worry about, but its still irritating that she can cxall and yell and harrass us and we have to listen to her every time,
so anyway what im getting at is int he state of florida, i would imagine her not allowing him to have the kids on saturday would be an interferance of visitation, the father works evenings and actually has a job that the kids can go to work with him, but he doesnt get home until 10 pm on thursday and friday and he works daytime saturday , so the house schedule we have is since the kids have school on friday and need to be in bed by 8 pm i watch them on thursday so that they can be in bed at a decent time, he takes them with him to work on thursday and i watch them every other saturday, he takes them to work every other saturday , and they are with me from 8 am until 3 pm and they like spending time with thier friends here and thier stepbrother, and she doesnt want me watching the kids anymore, we think shes jealous, not sure so we dont want to accuse, but shes also demanding we bring them to her n saturdays and then pick them up when the father gets off work, whatever, thats definatly not going to happen, i refuse to cater to her anymore, also her husband watches the kids when we drop them off on sunday and he watches them mon , tues and wed from the time they get home until bedtime because she works nights also, and doesnt get home until 10 but thats ok, she says her husband can watch them, shes also not allowing me into family counseling, even though im part of ta family and a majority of the issues happen at our house because of the mother,
anyway im not looking for good solid legal advice unless someone on here is a laywer and can tell me for sure, but pointing me in the right direction would definatly help
thank you
