My ex and I were strictly establishing paternity and custody but once we both signed the necessary paperwork it was filed and a done deal the next day. I don't know if it will take a bit longer for you because you're getting divorced as well.
Here in Australia custody rights happen with the divorce usually (its in our divorce papers) but it can happen at any time if the need arises, just means more money and lawyer/court costs. And like mizzztaylor said, unless they are adopted they still have to pay child support, don't let him get out of that one, thats what alot of these men try to do, think if they have nothing to do with them they won't have to pay for them.
I will keep my mouth shut about him then. I wonder what will happen first.( guess i should ask my lawyer lol ) the divorce or custody..or all in one shot. If he agrees will it be done in one day or several? I want it quick and painless onmy part and painful for him haha. you ladies have been awesome helping me thru all this drama. Thank you
Uhhh...he left you when you were married to him, pregnant with not one, but two babies, got someone else pregnant and now he's saying you're too much of a hassle? That's crazy. I wouldn't worry that you're dating someone else. It sounds like this guy you're now dating has been a good friend for a while. He was showing you kindness and support, something your husband should have been doing. I wouldn't even bring it up. As far as him signing off his rights, I just went through this with my daughter's father, and the state of California will not let him sign off on his rights. If he's agreeable and it sounds like he will be, he can give you full legal and physical custody which will allow you to keep him away from your boys. The only way he can permanently sign off on his rights is if you get married and do a step parent adoption. My ex and I tried to sign off his rights and we weren't allowed to. It's stupid.
What a jerk! I will never understand how people can just walk away from their children. As far as the dating thing I can't imagine it would be an issue but I wouldn't advertise it either. I hope a-hole is prepared to fork over a good chunk of money :)
Good luck, will keep you in my thoughts that day
Oh, and you're worried about dating while still married?? I had a baby to another man while still married lol
I truly wish you all the best Emma.................I too have a divorce coming up, and think sometimes it would be easier if i didn't have to see him because of the kids...but i am glad he is in their life, as they do love him. Your ex does not know what he is losing, and to dismiss his own two boys because of you?? No way girlie, you need a REAL man!! And I'm sure in time you will find one, I have been down that road and lucky for me I did find a real man, life DOES get better!
Do u have to tell the court or does your X husband know about him? No it wont bc u guys are separated and he went on to have another relationship behind your back and o ya another baby soo he will look like the butt they wont be tripping on u
Keeping faith it will end that way. Me dating this new guy while still married... will that make me look bad in the eye of the court? Im worried about that now..
What a douche bag ya well his loss and im sure he will mess up on thr other chick he is with just make sure u gets lots of money for child support lol ugghh it ***** having going through situations with immature men but u will meet a way better guy its karma and u will get the better end of it
