Background: I am primary custodian. Ex has wed (over night) and every other weekend (fri to mon).
Situation: Ex has several medical problems that he has hosp. stays for almost once per month. He currently has no home and has not had a job in several years. He rarely takes his scheduled time. He likes to play "make up" on my time, demanding a few hours here and there to make up for his "lost time". If I refuse, he threatens to take her on his time even when he's not able and "leave her with someone else" because he feels it "isn't fair " that I get his time and my time too. He can go several weeks to a few months and then BANG...it's like I'm dealing with a monster. He has admitted he is a pain pill addict and has "black outs" I know you are all thinking....holy crap...I would never let my kid go with him! And I really don't. I try to supervise the visits myself when possible. This new...I'm going to take her even when I can't just so you can't have her...has got me really worried. I really don't want to start a war with this person. He has never hurt our child. HIs mood swings are aways directed at me. I'm getting so tired of the control issue. I'm so sick of having to cater to his every whim to keep him from jumping down my back and threatening to do this or that. I would really like to just have on paper that he can't have overnights. I do not trust his physical condition. Would you risk the money, time and effort to go back to court to change your court order? Do you think it would even be a perm. fix or just a judge giving him time to get his act together. I do not want to stir up a bee's nest to only end up with what I already have. Anyone been through something like this? Posted on 10/26/09, 04:10 pm |

why would you give your ex overnights visits when he doesnt even have stable housing ? i would put a stop with that until he proves to the courts that he has stable housing and not in a shelter or on a friend or family members couch

You should be glad he wants to have a relationshup with the child. You should let him visit when he is able, not for your sake but for the child. When you have health issues you don't know when the last visit is going to be.
