MARCH 2018
MARCH 3, 2018
My kids' mother is on time today. I get my kids in the car and we head home for the whole weekend! I don’t have to take them back until Monday morning, when Kiley goes to school and Mason goes to daycare. I have these days with my babies and that’s all that matters to me. The kids are so good this weekend and we have so much fun. I don’t want them to leave.
MARCH 7, 2018
My kids' mother is on time. Maybe she finally got the hint. Maybe she is actually trying to co-parent. I see Mason for 9 hours and Kiley for 4 hours and 20 minutes. My daughter asks me if she can stay at my house for longer or even stay the night. I tell her ‘not right now’. How am I even supposed to answer stuff like this? I don’t discuss court stuff to or in front of my kids. I dread the hour that I have to meet up for them to go with their mother. I wish I could have them for longer. When the kids are with me, their attitudes and behavior are just so different than they used to be. It concerns me. What is happening when they’re with their mom? I wish I could talk to them when they are with her. She prevents me on every angle from being involved with my kids. It will be a week before I get to see them again.
I haven't been able to call my kids for 59 days when they are with her. (It says in the court order we are both allowed to call the kids when they are with the other parent!)

The mother is late. Again, typical. I go home and spend time with Mason before getting Kiley from school. I see Mason for 9 hours and I see Kiley for 4 hours and 20 minutes. Wednesdays are the hardest. I don’t even get to have them stay the night with me. My daughter asked me, “Daddy, why can’t we spend more time with you? Why do we always have to go back to Mom’s? We are with her all the time and never get to see you.” Mind you, my daughter is 8 years old. She’s EIGHT.
How do I explain to my innocent daughter that her mother is preventing me from having a relationship with her and her brother? How do I explain that I wish I could see them every minute of every day? How do I get through these conversations with her without my eyes welling up with tears and having to walk away or change the subject so my EIGHT year old daughter doesn’t see me cry?
I have to remain strong for my kids. I KNOW this situation is hard on them because it’s hard on me. I’m the one they look up to. I have to be strong. Taking them back at 4:45 to their mother sucks. There’s no other word I can use right now. It just sucks.
MARCH 16, 2018
Kiley is out of school today and since it’s a non-school day, it is included in my weekend. The mother doesn’t show up. No calls. No texts. No emails. NOTHING. AGAIN. I am furious and I am so sick of her keeping my kids away from me and constantly interfering with the relationship I have left with them!!
MARCH 17, 2018
It's my birthday...and guess what... I get to spend the day with my kids! I couldn't ask for a better birthday present!! We let the kids decorate it all by themselves! LOL. They were so proud of it! They did amazing! That 2-inch thick layer of icing though...!
​
Mason was SO tired!
MY WHOLE WORLD
MARCH 19, 2018
So, it's the day BEFORE court. SHE finally files a response to the motions I filed. I only knew she filed something because I check online almost daily. She had no intention on serving me with the response. The stuff in her response just doesn't make any sense at all... it's all repetition with ZERO EVIDENCE. It's sad and funny at the same time. She basically says the same stuff that I said in my papers- with EVIDENCE, filed and served the right way. Check it out below.
(This is her response to Contempt, Perjury/Fraud, Child Support Modification, Request to End DV RO)....all wrapped in one. LOL. It's... messy... to say the least.
MARCH 20, 2018
Remember the stuff I filed in January and February...?
(Child Support Modification, Request to Set Aside Support Orders, RFO-Change/End DVRO)
Today is the day I get the child support amount changed. Hopefully. Hopefully the judge will see what she is trying to do and how manipulative she is.
I wouldn't have to be in the courtroom if she didn't lie on her income information to the court. I wouldn't have to be sitting in that room while she is continuing to harass my girlfriend and I… IN THE COURTROOM. (We are also there to get a restraining order on her because she just won’t stop.) She’s more concerned with herself rather than caring for the well-being of our kids and just trying to co-parent. I really hope the judge sees what kind of person she really is and the amount of damage she is doing to the kids. Maybe at this court hearing I will actually get to defend myself. Maybe I will actually get the opportunity to talk without my kids' mother interrupting me or constantly making up these ludicrous accusations. It’s out of control.
She asks for a continuance because she “obtained counsel yesterday”, then her story changed to “I am trying to obtain counsel.” So… which is it?
Then she states she lost her job because of me. I made her lose her job? How… exactly? Thing is... SHE DIDN'T LOSE HER JOB! Her boss hurt himself, so if he doesn't work, neither does she. It's absurd how the judge doesn't ask for any evidence, but just trusts her word... and we all know what 'her word' is worth. ZILCH!!!!
Continuance is set for April 3, 2018.
I haven't been able to call my kids for 69 days. She refuses to let me speak to them.
MARCH 21, 2018
She is actually on time. Wow. Kiley is with her. Why is Kiley not at school yet? Kiley has a stomach ache. I let her know if she didn’t feel good, she could stay home and rest. The mother supposedly made a last minute doctor appointment for her. By the time of the appointment, Kiley’s stomach is feeling better and she doesn’t want to go to the doctor. The mother has never told me the name of their doctor. She refuses to tell me anything about my own kids! She refuses to give me school record info for my daughter. She refuses to share daycare information for my son. She refuses to let me call them. I don’t even know where my kids live!
After all, I am only an 8 days-a-month dad, right? Why would I need to know that stuff? Because they are my kids and I have every right to know!
(I call the school to let them know that Kiley isn't feeling well.)
While Kiley was laying around, she wrote me this note. She stuck it in an envelope and taped it to the side of my bed so I would see it later. She is such a kind- hearted girl! I love her more than words could ever express!
MARCH 28, 2018
Time to see my kids! Oh, the mother is late. Seriously. This is getting REALLY old! I hang out with Mason and we play games, play with his new cars and watch a movie. I pick up Kiley from school. We go home, play, watch science shows and try to figure out our Easter plans. I really don’t want them to go back. I just want one more day. I just want one more night.
MARCH 29, 2018
I get my daughter’s records from school after having to ask the school multiple times for the records. I am shocked. Her grades are NOT good. She has been tardy over 20 times. She has several unexcused absences. She has ‘unsatisfactory’ in nearly every academic area. I email the mother about it, you know, expecting her to actually be mature enough to discuss our daughter’s education. Low and behold, she does the opposite. When is it going to be enough!?
One of the days that Kiley was absent from school (October 26) was 'excused' because of 'court appointment- by mother'. My daughter did NOT attend that court hearing nor would she have been permitted into the courtroom! The hearing was for the domestic violence restraining order that the mother requested against me. So..why was she not in school that day? Or what about the other days?
