auxilary Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 doc, seriously... internet makes teh world a very small place, you do NOT want her lawyers to be able to use this thread against you. It has been done in hte past, please remove it for your own sake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I agree with jon mortensen. Internet can be a great resource, and a horrible, horrible double edged blade. This thread should be deleted+1 Best of luck to you though. If I were you I'd be glad he took a stand if it's really that bad living with his mother.

ZZZeee Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Oh man... if she has connections in the public school to which he would attend you may want to consider a private school if at all possible. If she has manipulative friends inside and she somehow fools them into helping her that could be disasterous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_hunt Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Not this school, but the one I have to dis enroll him from. Being a pain. But I got the paperwork coming this afternoon, so should be good. Then it's off to alb to buy him some clothes as she won't let him have his that I paid for before school started. And never be afraid of the truth, be it in a public forum or not! I am not afraid of anything I have said or anyone else has said. There will be a day of reckoning, it is coming, and I'm coming and I'm bringing hell with me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_hunt Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Light at the end of the tunnel. Big lawyer meeting on Wednesday to settle it out of court. We will see how that works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZZZeee Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Good for you, Doc. Balzz to the wall!! It doesn't surprise me that she won't let him have his clothes. But that's a good thing in a way. It proves how selfish, self-centered, and self-absorbed she is even at the expense of her own son's happiness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad-ManQ45 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I', suprised that it took this long for your son, but am glad to se it happen. I married my present wife who's son was 11 at the time, who made the decision when her son was 10 to have him stay with his father (married and she had kids already, which was better than single working mom...). The tough part for her was her ex was in Austin, TX and she was here in Atlanta, GA. When I first started dating her, she said she was going to drive out to see him one Friday and come back on Sunday. I immediately quashed that idea and said I'd fly him here for 2 weeks or a month (depending upon what activities he had going on during the summer), and have done that ever since. We just flew to San Diego for his wedding (yes, we've been married 18 years now), and I haven't regretted the time or money spent in helping to raise him in any way shape or form. At this age, boys need fathers more than mothers IMO, and I don't believe I am a male chauvinist pig in stating this. I hope everything works out well for you and your son (I've met you both at what used to be SEZ), and look forward to seeing both of you again!

DavyZ Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Good luck, Doc. I hope what gets done is in Bryce's best interest. Sounds like he knows what he needs and what he wants. Good enough for me! I wish you the best! Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeZ Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Get referrals for attorneys and get the best one you can afford or not! This crap is never about what is in the best interest of he kid. It is about my attorney is better than yours. Good Luck. It is never over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_hunt Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 Thanks guys. I have the best lawyer around here, he ain't cheap. But I think we have a distinct advantage. I'll tell more later after it all works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Been there, done that, no fun....Best of luck to you and your boy. Both of my boys are back in my home, by their choice...took a while:wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJLamberson Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I didnt notice how old you said you son was but when I was going through this with my parents, oh about 6 years ago, I was around 11, I to wanted to move in with my father and my mothers lawyer flat out told her that the judge will listen to what I want and have somebody go out and inspect my fathers house to make sure it is up to par when it comes to having a child there.

dr_hunt Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 Yeah, well here it's 14, but there were other "issues" that prevented this from happening earlier. We are fine now and looking forward to happier times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S130Z Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I was in a similar position as you, but the other way around. It just took me until I was 18 to do it. I just moved in with him about 4 months ago. I ended up getting emancipated when I was 17 and divorced my parents and moved in with a friend. After realizing that living with friends can be painful and the shortage of money, I decided to get my life straightened out and give my dad his son back after 8 long years. Good luck Doc. It was one of the best decisions that I have made so far and I hope your son feels the same way. Ever young man needs a father to help them grow up.

jap tin Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Best of luck Doc. There is a bond between a boy and his father. Today would have been my Dad's 84th birthday, I lost him in August. Do what ever you have to do to take care of your son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeder Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 There is a bond between a boy and his father. Absolutely, the father's example and guidance is an important component in a boy's development. My boys are 30+ years old and were a challenge to say the least getting through the teens - But all that effort was worth it for the end result. I know you and your son will be fine. You definitely have my support and understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
