My Child's Father Is Hard Headed!!!!!!

My child's father and I have never been married. Things got rough when I found out that I was pregnant with my son. My son's father moved out state when I was 7 months pregnant and did not come back until my son was 9 months old. My son is 2 and half now and I have gotten $150.00 frm him in cash and maybe about 15 outfits form him for my son. Friend of the court is so overwhelmed so I do not recieve child support. Now recently my son went over his father's house and I called to speak to my son and his father said that he dropped him off and refused to tell me where he was. So after arguing for awhile he finally told me that he was at his brothers house. My son has a 22,18, and 7 year old brother and what made me mad was how much atention is 22 and 18 year old going to pay to a 2 year old. And if they choose to leave they have no car seat for my son. So if something happened all they can say is "Sorry". Now he swears his ex-wife is a evil mean spirited person so if that;s the case why would you drop my son off over there. I told him what is the point of him coming to get my son if he's going to just drop him off over someone else's house. I told him to go get my son and he better bring him home now. Because he still wouldn;t tell me which brother;s house he dropped him off at. Also he refuses to buy my son diapers so when he does go with him I have to give him diapers. So i told him He'll never see my son again. So three weeks went by he called and I gave him strict stipulation and rules about my son. Trying to give this bum another chance. And what did he do, wouldn't answer the phone at all while he had my son. Told me couldn;t here the phone. So it a wrap he can't get him again ever. But am I wrong to just snatch my son like that? I don't think so but I would just like some insight from other mothers.

What can I do next?

I don't blame you one bit!
Your top priority is your son's safety. If your ex is taking him to an undisclosed place and won't even answer his phone, that would scare me.
Until your son has the verbal skills to tell you what's going on when he goes with his daddy, I'd put some restrictions on their visits.
Maybe you could start meeting each other at a park or other public place. This way you know your son is in a safe environment, but he still gets to spend some time with his father.
I hope everything works out for you.

There is NO WAY I would let him take my child under those conditions. Unless ordered by a court I would not allow it.

Hi C. - Are you kidding me? There is absolutely no way I would allow that man to come anywhere near my child unless during a court-ordered supervised visit at this point. This sounds like a recipe for disaster: Your child is dumped with (1) a mean evil-spirited woman (2) a 22 and 18 year old with no childcare experience who have much better things to do than watch a 2 year old child and who they have occasional contact with at most in terms of brotherly bonds and their interest/responsibility in caring for him, AND (3)no knowledge of who is going in and out of the brother's house who may have contact with your son (4) no guarantee that you will have any control whatsoever over that situation when you call to see what's going on and how your son is doing, IF the phone is even answered (5) a man who is a biological father (but NOT a true father from what you are saying) who clearly couldn't give a rip what you think or do as far as your child is concerned. Does he have shared custody? If so, your court order needs to be amended. If not, then trust your instincts and keep your child far away. You are 100% right to be concerned - remember that you are your child's best and most important advocate and that he comes first. If this means limited contact with the father, then that is the way it has to be until this guy grows up, gets responsible and gets a grip on his life. He sounds really selfish and pretty much concerned with what is best for him and not your son.

Your son should not go with his father - period. Unless a court orders you to allow it.

Ok, so I am tired of hearing all of you women complain about the same garbage...Why don't you try acting like a grown up...Stop using your kid to fight your battles. GET OVER IT....you have no right to say he will never see your son again, you're not GOD and you don't own him...maybe he forgot the carseat, give him yours for that day and expect him to bring one next time...who cares as long as your son is safe..why would you aggrivate the father if your son will be in his care? Aren't you afraid they would take it out on him? Or maybe that he will hate you for not letting im have a father?

The court system is so full of these cases that they can't take care of the real problems. It is sad for your son, you aren't even giving him the chance to learn for himself. By the way he will also realize that you have not let him have a father.

GET OVER IT...GET A HOBBY OTHER THAN YOUR KID'S FATHER...and stop wathing MAURY...
IT IS PRETTY SAD THAT YOUR KIDS VOICE WILL END UP BEING A COURT ORDER

The most important thing is the safety of your son. Write everything down. Get documentation, statements from other people who know what is going on. Write down dates and times. Then either talk to an attorney or just withhold visitation and when FOC ask you to "show cause", you will have a valid argument to present.

Go back to court and file for sole custody with out visitaion or visitation with supervision. this way you have someone that you can trust with him at all times. At least that is what I would do, also file in court for your child support. That money is due your son not you.

You should know where your child is and he does have to answer to reasure you your son is alright.

He should be the one taking care of your son, not his brother, that doesn't sound right to me.

Go to friend of the court and do what you have to legally, this protects you.

Good luck

I would not trust my son to anyone (including a father) who was not trustworthy. Your son is too precious to allow him to be dropped off at a house where you do not know the adults who will be supervising him. I do think it is important for a child to know his dad but maybe you need to supervise those visits and not let him take him home. Good luck -

Hi-

I am al for the father if he wants to see your son, but doesn't seem like the case. How often does he visit his other children? If I were you I would personally tell him if he wanted to see his son he needs to contribute and if he doesn't follow your rules and or doesn't answer his phne again you will call the police and each time you call the police it opens a file on him that would be good for court if you ever need to go there! Hope my advice helps!
