CS success & BD Vent

So finally after an almost 2 year battle with my son's father, I'm finally getting child support! Granted it's less then $40.00 a week, but hey its something! I have to wait 2 years before i can have it looked at again.

On another note, his father had his work schedule changed and only has off on Wednesdays(our CO says he gets him every Friday and every other Sunday, which he hasn't done in months) so every once in awhile Ive been letting him have him on Wednesdays for a few hours because i need a break. Well on Monday he texts me to see if he can have him on Wednesday. My brother got married so I had to tell him no. Well that started world war 3! He goes on this whole long text message rant about how he's paying me support now and I have to let my son spend the night with him! Ummmm....... NO!!!!!!!! You wouldn't know what to do with him over night. You are in and out of his life and you see him maybe 1-2 times a month and ask about him 1 time a week. I dont know where you live because you wont tell me (I bring my son to his sister/moms house) and you try to bully me into giving in. Nope not going to happen! I know he wont to court and fight for overnights because he says he is always broke but works 50-60 hours a week.(spends his money on drugs, gambling, and partying) I'm not going to go to court to have it changed because I'm fine with him seeing him only a few times a month.

AHHHHH........ why is it when BD start paying support they think they are entitled to whatever they want!!

Sorry for the rant I just had to get it off my chest!

    Refer him back to the court order and remind him you don't have to allow Weds if you don't feel like it, and he's the one missing his times of possession. If he has a problem with it, tell him to get a lawyer and file for a review! Make sure you keep a visitation journal.

    Your brother got married on a Wed?  I think the CO is there for a reason, *but* if you can allow your XH more time with his son, that will be better for both of them in the long run.  It seems to me that your XH should be able to understand that you and your son had to go to a wedding that day, but not all XHs are reasonable.  I hope you are able to get past this and have a productive co parenting relationship with your X.  Best of luck to you!

    Yea he got married at the justice of the peace.

    I do try as much as I can and that was the first time i had to say no to him about him getting my son. Im trying my best to get along with him for my son's sake but he is the one who won't work with me.

    He was suppossed o get him today but as usual at the last minute he texted me to tell me he wasn't coming.

    I give up!!
