My partner has shared legal custody with his child’s mother . The mother relocated and changed her number . My partner hasn’t seen his child for the past 3 months . According to the mother, she’s not comfortable with being about her son and her son is not comfortable being around me . So she will not be sending their son back to the house . My partner is planning to go back to court, however, he’s also hesitant because it just might be a slap on the wrist for the mother . Has anyone been through something similar .

FYI - the mother hates my guts because she thinks I ruined their relationship . It has been almost 6 years since she moved to the state where I live and we met and for some reason I’m to blame . The son and I have a good relationship, but as many of you know he’s going to take his mother side and lie to make his mother happy .

If she was short of money i helped with everything i got my step daughter during the start of school All her school supplies new clothes and two pairs of new Jordan’s at the start of school and went around saying im the worst person in the world

I’m going through this EXACT same thing 😭 I’ve been with my man for over 5 years and our entire relationship his hcbm has tried her hardest to keep their son away, tells his family to not let their son come with us because “he can’t be around me”, lies to the courts and tells them i try to poison their son and give him bad food lol. So much bs. It’s insane. And even now, we haven’t seen him in 6 months for these reasons. He finally went to mediation in court and got answers and got the changes that were needed. DEFINITELY take it to court! If there are no legitimate safety concerns for the child being around you that she can present to the child that would put the child in immediate danger, she can’t keep him away. Even then she’d have to get a court order for you not to be around and proof why. Hcbm has tried this with me but all they did was say he couldn’t be left alone with me because of her lies of course, then she turns around and asks if he can stay with us during the summer 🤣

but I still don’t get why the court order states he can’t be left alone with you if you don’t pose any danger to the child ? That makes no sense . Some of these courts need to really look into the mothers and see how evil and malicious they really are . If my spouse bm tries that I’m suing for perjury and defamation. She has tried that before and had no success whatsoever. The little boy definitely tries to lie in his mother defense and then tries to act like a saint when he’s around me .

Go to court. Especially if they have a court order and a custody agreement. She is interfering and it will not be good for her. Call the police and report a parental kidnapping.

If they have a court order she’s currently in contempt of court. Go to the court for sure.

You’ll need to call the police file a police report get a copy of said police report go to the court file online if your court allows that for an emergency hearing and also file contempt of court. Put everything she is violated when it started how long it’s going. The changing of the number and and relocating without giving the father these new numbers and addresses is already contempt not to mention if there is a custody agreement. 3 months girl talk should’ve been in court 3 months ago the first time she tried this shit

That was my question as well.. but i really couldnt say or do much 🤷🏼‍♀️ and when my bf questioned them, they wouldn’t give him any answers, they just put it in the court order. It’s sad how much they’ve let her get away with honestly. Definitely fight it and tell him to take her to court and hold her in contempt. If he has physical custody, he can also call the police for kidnapping but he’d also have to file for a hearing about that too.

he filed contempt before when she didn’t allow him to have his parenting time and all he got was make up time . She didn’t face any consequences

Avatar

i did the same exact thing . Some people are just ungrateful and I fear if he doesn’t get his child away from her . That little boy is going to be just like her . Evil and a liar

Avatar

So you keep doing it. Keep filing. If his parenting time starts Friday and she hasn’t turned the child over by noon you call the police. You do all the annoying paperwork and the police reports and everything because otherwise they get away with it. She continues this because no one held her accountable except one time and then no one did anything again

Avatar

Keep filing contempt every single time I know it’s annoying but it’s what you gotta do if she is violating a court order over and over again the court is not going to let her keep custody. She will face fines and possibly jail time. The court always gives a warning basically the first time and if you don’t let them know what she is or isn’t doing then they can’t punish her because in their minds since no one filed contempt again she is complying because they don’t know any better

i really appreciate your story because we thought so many time about doing this i got text and videos of her saying her moms filling her head about us i mean mean stuff and i watched how its affected but now saids my step daughter needs counseling from us and the SCHOOL counselor said not to allow her to come to our house so when in our weekend had just spent it overjoyed at the carnival and going to her favorite restaurant just because she wanted to and she was going home she said I’m calling you guys when i get to my house I’m going to miss you so much and gave me a hug and kiss goodbye and her dad a hug and kiss goodbye and now its been almost 2 months since we seen her. And to me ill put all the money in the world if we get our time back but we want more time the mom only was ok with weekends we are want to take her to school pick her up we had just agreed to allow her to join gymnastics because i was going to put my little one in. I do everything together for them now.

Ive said the same thing telling you this isnt the first times its happened at one point she did it for a year we missed birthday christmas all off it because of her and now shes trying to play a nasty game when we had her all last summer because she had a premature birth we never kept my step daughter away I personally took her almost everyday for two months just to see her mom and spend time with her mom i didnt worry about the gas or the drive because i know she needed her now more than ever but again im a terrible human being

Avatar

I’m sorry you have to deal with that.. I’d maybe talk to your man and see if he can address this with the courts and get it put in the court order that she can’t do that because that’s parental alienation. And also you can file for contempt and a parenting time violation if she doesn’t give her to you all for his time.

I have ! My fiancés BM took off with sd for a little over 3 months . We waited for court and got custody of her . But we built a case on her . It took fake social media accounts, ALOT of screenshots, and video documentation of sd (4 at the time) laying across the front dash of the car driving down the highway, and also 4 relapses . It’s a long journey unfortunately with taking a moms custody or dad even being able to get a little depending on your state.
