Thank you for taking the time to read this and helping me out.
What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?I have a custody agreement that has over 2.5 since it was first put in and i just put in a for a modification. (we are both residence of Delaware) , i have no idea if she actually works i know she i has Certification in Cosmetology so she can make money and not actually report it.
I have two young girls (5 & 7) and i pay $1135 per month in child support ( has never been late). * i recently went to court for a modification and had it granted to $530 a month based on the time that i have my daughters (more than 50% and they are covered under my insurance)
My girls are well taken care of by me. Their mother and I have an agreement for share joint custody but their residence is at thier mothers house. (I was told by the last judge to file for Shared residency since that is what our allot time scheduled out to. even though I've had this agreement since 2008-2009
I have been paying for all of their clothes, shoes, and other expenditures that they require when they are with me. ( to my knowledge, im the only one paying for the clothes because they are the same clothes that they are coming back with when I pick them up)
I was for the past two year paying for my oldest aftercare & summer bill which amounted up to 4k a year because of an incident that happen (when she got off school early and there wasn’t anyone at their mothers house to pick her up)
My daughters are now both in school and they only go to before and aftercare (which their mother is paying for as of this year but has purchase of care and from what the people at the daycare her job reimburse her for the other portion of the bill.
I pay for all of their extracurricular activities such as ballet which was another 2k a year.
We are to share travelling requirements but over the past two years. she has not once traveled to pick the children up, I have always dropped them off at her house or another spot where she is.
He residence is less then 200 ft from the daycare and almost 800 ft from the school that they goto now. I currently live about (25 miles) 15-20 mins way from them and i have to drive them to the daycare to drop them off on the day that i have them.
Our visitation order states that i have them every Wednesday and Thursday and every other weekend. ( So every other weekend i will have them from Wednesday til monday morning when i drop them off at school). if the day are calculated up including all the school in-service. I have the girls more than 65% of the time throughout the year.
* This is were it get interested
Their mother and i were married in 2004 and we got a finalized divorce in Oct 2008. She was remarried again to a man in the military in Feb 2009. she took frequent trips to Japan to visit him. ( I have Never once Met, Seen or talk to this Man that is supposed to be around my children). She divorced him a 2010 and was remarried again in Oct 2011 to yet another man I do know ( I have only met during a brief *hi,bye* leaving court).
She has then switched Region from Christianity to Jehovah Witness and is now trying to bring my girls into that. My daughter have been going to church with her and with my mother since they were born they are born and raised in a Christian light. Now they are extremely confused on what is going on about that aspect and the holidays they celebrated last year but all of a sudden they don't celebrate anymore.
My biggest issue with this whole thing is that She is Married to this man and She is trying to relocate my girls to a different county and pull them out of school they are in.
We had a mediation about this once before and she claimed that it because they are doing bad and that i don't help them and im a neglectful father among other things.
The school they goto is the top scoring schools above the ones that she is trying to move them to and my girl are both on the honor roll in their school and never dropped below that since they've been there.
There is an agreement set in place that we are to split the holidays and this past thanksgiving i was suppose to pick my girls up the day before and then drop them off to spend half of the day. I sent their mother a text message (because she doesn't answer the phone) [ if she would like to keep the girls and i would pick them up on the holiday so their wouldn't be any going back and forth],. I never received a response so i took it as Business as usual.
she called the daycare and told them that she was going to drop them off at 3pm. i got a call from the daycare around 430 that they never showed up. so i sent her a text message and still never received any response. So when i got the daycare i called from my mobile phone and no answer. and i had the school call her from their office phone, still no answer. So after an hour of waiting. I contacted the New Castle County Police Department to have them escort me over to her residence to see if my girls are there.
They were their and she claimed that she received my text message and was going off what i sent, but said she never received any calls from me or from the school. She got the school to pull phone records to proved that I indeed had them call her.
this past weekend. My oldest daughter was extremely sick and so i kept her home from school and took my youngest to school. I sent her mother a text message
Me:>i still have my oldest and that i would drop her off once im finished doing photos for this wedding.
Her:> let me know when im on my way.
Me:> My youngest still went to school Just fyi
Her:> what time are you bring her home?
Me:> after i finish the wedding pictures
Her:> its past the time that she should be home and i tired to call you and your not answering
Me:> I told you that i was doing pictures for wedding and that i would bring her home when i get done, or i can text my my sister and have her bring her home home
<< She contact the New Castle County Police Department >> and states that she cant get in touch with me and she doesn't know what im doing or where our child is.
I receive a few blocked calls (which i didn't notice till after the wedding) and when i checked my voice mail it was an officer asking me to call them back in regards to our custody agreement together
i tried to contact the office but i was unsuccessful. ( i was planning on going to the police station but im Freaking terrified of what she may have told them) * considering that she Knew exactly where our child was the whole time.*
Now.. I have a court date for the 31st to discuss the request of her moving out of the county and changing my visitation from 185 day a year to only having my girls for 72 days at the most. ( the first 3 weekends of each month only) and certain holidays.
