I get that, but I still hate the fact the she seems to abducted our kid and ran off so far just make me waste my time. For one she turned in a ridiculous adult protection order claiming abuse that was immediately dismissed at hearing because she refused to show up or even have representation.I get it, it works to my advantage, but I can not contain my rage at the absurdity that she's doing all this to look like a loser.

@Malara I completely agree with you, 100%!!! It's absurd that you have to go through this. If you can afford a good lawyer, I'd recommend it. That's no guarantee you'll prevail though, and it's expensive AF. Unless your ex does something you can use to prove she's unfit, it's going to be a long slog. I'm sorry. It's not right, and it's not fair, and I'm really sorry. I have someone very close to me who has gone through this mess. He's got 5 banker's boxes filled with court filings and documents, just sitting, waiting for the day his child is old enough to start asking questions. He's also still paying off his lawyer, who managed to get him summers and every other Christmas. The system sucks and unless the mother is almost a serial killer, they get favored by the Courts. It's not right at all. I hope things work out in your favor. Just remember, save everything. Every text, all your call records, everything. You might be able to use all of it. Good luck to you!
