Hi, My husband and I are having major issues with the mother of his kids when it comes to co-parenting. She texts non-stop about things that don't fall in the court-mandated discussions. She constantly talks down about me even after I have chosen to avail of anything she has ever needed and then some. She started paying half her costs for the first time in 6 years. We always let it go and just covered for it simply because they are our responsibilities and regardless need to be done. Now she will blow up his phone daily if we haven't seen her half that she demands we pay whatever regardless of discussing an actual agreed upon price. Not sure what the stipulation is on that. If we don't have the money we just say we will get it as soon as we can due to having 5 in a family as opposed to 3 it makes it a little difficult at times to have it at her disposal. She gets extremely rude, makes snide comments regarding our income, and downsizes us to the kids for it. She goes as far as telling us if the kids don't come back in her outfits that we will have to pay her for them. Every day with her is something new and even more conniving. She refuses to communicate with me after doing so for all years up til the last year of me even though solitarily I was covering her days for both parties involved and both in school and out due to work schedules on her and my husband's part.She even goes as far as texting every day we have the kids in regards ***** ***** that happened on her weeks and demands we have the kids call at her time of choice and day of choice. My point in the little small backstory is, is there a way to communicate/avoid pick ups and drop offs at either house if she refuses to be accommodating even though it would eliminate certain demands of her own?
JA: You'll pay a one-time $5 join fee, plus $60 for a month of membership with JustAnswer. After that, your membership will renew monthly. What steps have you taken? Have you filed any papers in family court?
Customer: We have went to court twice now for it because she had papers served due to he wasn't responded to her like she felt he should at work and trying to state that I was unmanageable to deal with though she had no problem asking me to take the kids when she had a headache or wanted a boyfriend of the week night. I stood up for myself once out of the million nasty comments made in regards ***** ***** i didn't parent as she demanded. I was beyond mature just simply saying i didn't appreciate being talked about and that the adult thing to do was discuss the issues with me instead of my husband. She also felt that she could demand him to do everything as she felt it needed done and if my husband refused she would become ire wrath with him and completely talk down to him. So I stated she had no right and that i wasn't going to sit back and let her yell at him. My words were Do not speak to my husband that way you don't have a right. She would come back with He is the father of t my kids and i will speak how i want and you don't have a say in it .
JA: Family law varies by state. What state are you in?
Customer: illinois
JA: Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you.
Customer: she told my husband that because i didn't "play nice" and give into all her demands that she was going to make it hell for us and take us to court so we are required to pay her child support and is trying to get access to his and his fathers business account plus mine.
