Info

I didn't agree to anything. Basically my Ex re-started the visitation that should have never been stopped. Her Attorney then asked for a continuance on the contempt charge. I am not going to simply drop the issue however, because I know if I do we'll be doing this whole routine again in six months. ...

Hearing and the Aftermath

Basically, my Ex didn't show up for the hearing. Nor did her attorney, so my Ex was found to be in contempt of court, by default. So the judge told my attorney he was going to reserve the punishment and have my attorney write an order to set a hearing date on the punishment for the contempt charge, ...

Perspective

I've read through these posts and I can see the back and fourth and both sides in this debate have made solid points. I think the real problem with the entire situation lies with perspective. What many people don't understand that is reality is different to everyone. We all have our own unique persp...

Signing away rights

Basically, I'm never going to sign my rights away, period. I'm going to fight this until I'm bankrupt or hell freezes over. I have a very, strong bond with my child and until my ex started trying to deliberately push me out of his life everything was actually pretty good. I myself know that if I had...

"A Father's Rights"

This is a film about parental equality (for mother's and fathers), but it also has a bit about CPS and their lack to do the right thing. It was filmed locally here in Tennesee and doesn't have the production value of a blockbuster "hollywood" film, but it shows what happens in this dad's life and ho...

Still no word from the judge. I don't know really what to expect from him. I've heard he can be fair, but I've also heard he can be unfair.

another thing to note:

My son's grandfather told my son's counciler on 2-3 seperate occasions at the beginning of this year (January) that my son's behavior had "improved greatly". On all of those reports he also stated that my son's mother hadn't seen him very much during those times. One stated "Patient hasn't seen moth...

I think the hardest part for me in all this is that I feel I am in the wrong. I am beginning to see myself as a bad parent and a failure as a father. I honestly don't think that I did anything wrong...at any point in time, I was only doing what I could do for my son. Yet, now as the days go on I fee...
