  • You can get a good lawyer, not just to fight the visitation but to enforce the child support.
  • It sounds like if she does get visitation, which she probably will, you won't have to deal with her often. Let the kids know her. They will see the truth of who she is, and of who you are. If you work to keep their mother out of their lives, they will resent you for it. If you stop trying to keep her out of their lives, they will respect you for it, learn what kind of person she is, and you will not lose a thing. I understand the feelings you are having. I have an ex too. But it was the right choice to not interfere with the relationship between my kids and their dad. He screwed it up all by himself and my kids don't pine away for a fantasy relationship with the fantasy father they have in their minds. They know who he is. They appreciate that I didn't interfere. And once he got into the courts he couldn't hide from his obligations to help support his children anymore. Good luck.
  • The truth is that control of relationships in our childrens lives is a myth. Children want relationships with their parents so they can at least come to their own conclusions. Interestingly denied a relationship with one of my parents led me to dissolve my relationship with the controlling parent who made contact nigh on impossible. In truth the relationship with a child is life long. I did not care about child support... love not money is the key and any child support in my life was spent by the controlling parent on the controlling parent i cartainly saw no benefit for receipt if it. In truth i am always suspicious of no contact parents it shows more about them than the other parent. And in the end the child will be the judge.....
