MFC BigSky: I love how I have spent 200/hr for a "decent lawyer".
I am so fukin pissed off, I've been tossing and turing in my sleep all night long while my girl has worked things out with her ex....
Damn, I am so jealous that they could actually work things out *as adults*!
My ex's new husband, I think he's now 22. Yeah, he knows everything at this age, lol, still going through his young adulthood.
Anyhow, can you fkn tell me how that I spend my child support in good faith, and expect to see my 2 boys for Christmas and tonight I find out: "According to the paperwork, you can, in fact, see your own sons from Dec. 23-26, but you have to spend that time in the primary parents place of residence. IE, I get to buy fukn tix to fly 1/2 way accross the country, and spend those days with my kids locked up in a gd motel room. Can you even imagine? 4 walls without Christmas lights, no tree, no Christmas atmosphere, etc? OMFG what the hell? Yeah, like my kids will ever want to have Christmas with ANYONE under those circomstances. What in the fuk?
No fukn wonder kids end up saying "Yeah, I don't want to have Christmas with dad next year...it sucked chones."
WTF?!
I called my "lawyer" tonight and left a message (so typical)...
this is whores sheot!
I pay my dues, why the hell can't I have my kids for Christmas break without being stipulated that I spend my time with my two beloved boys in my own home? OMG I am so outraged I can't even type.
Don't you think it's fair that since I pay my share of C/S that I should be able to bring them home and have a "real Christmas" with family, etc instead of doing it like they want.
I am so fuggin outraged...Just as I was recovering from her bullshiat. Kuntress.
My oldest has expressed how bad he wants to have his Christmas with me but I won't tell him the details of the situation because I have a hard time 'tainting' him with all this. So much for his scrub of a mom.
OMG I'm gonna go postal.
Re: MFC smokin: first off, why didnt you catch that clause in the divorce agreement? if it was there, you and your lawyer should have caught it, and kicked it right then....
if you have to, go out there early, get the hotel room with a jacuzzi, and decorate it up, and put up a cheap tree, and they will be happy just to see you.......
good luck..........
Re: MFC Peaceandquiet: Gotta agree with Goose on this one... it doesn't matter if your in your own home, a hotel or a cardboard box at least you get to spend time with your boys. Fight the battle with the ex over the visitation when you get the money but don't let your anger of the situation get in the way of spending good time with your kids. A hotel room for them could be a lot more fun for them than even spending it with her. I remember one christmas.. we had a real bad ice storm.. woke up christmas morning and it was 30 degrees in the house. Grabbed a couple of presents and headed off to a hotel room.. the kids had a blast. Opened their presents and then we went for a swim in the heated pool...lol
Re: MFC Lumpy: I'd try and sweet talk the ex to see if you can't get her to budge. Failing that I agree with PQ. You can make it a great time for them if you put a little effort into it.
Re: MFC yella: You can get one of those little trees (the fake ones), and decorate it. Have the boys help. Get a cd player with some Christmas music and play it while you decorate. Jump on the beds when you're done, and play wrestle. My boys love that!
Then take a drive to see all of the lights on the houses in the nearby neighborhoods. ;)
It's really up to you to make things fun, but in my opinion, I think you got a crap deal. I'm sorry for that.
