I have joint custody with my ex-husband and have never received child support. I recently filed for child support because of his new job and he is making alot more money than me. When I told him I was filing for support he flipped. He said he is now going to take me to court to make me lose custody of my children so I will owe him support and is going to bring up my boyfriends past problems with his ex-wife (who is a liar and a drunk)and he has been living with me and my children for 2 years with never a problem. And my kids love him dearly. He has called my boyfriends ex wife so I imagine he is going through with this and she'll jump on his band wagon just for the attention. I have many e-mails from him stating the only reason he is trying for more custody is to punish me for trying to get money out of him. He is also threating to cancel the kids dental (which I split the cost with him). Is there anything I can do to make him stop the threats? I'm a nervous wreck and am thinking about dropping the whole thing. And will the courts look at the past two years with my boyfriend with no problems and put 2 and 2 together that this is all because of him being mad about having to pay support if he does try for custody. I live in Dane county, WI. |

keep the emails that you have from him stating that hes doing this for the reason that your taking him for support... dont drop the whole thing, your kids deserve atleast that much from the man, hes being selfish...alot of guys do this to try to freak us out knowing that our kids are everything to us so they figure they can use that against us to get us out of making them responsible |

great advice from the fallen, yet sweet, angel you definitely must call his bluff and keep going for the court ordered child support, if you don't then you'll be at the mercy of his manipulations forever; his tactic is as old as the ages and a judge will see right through it, keep records of his threats as advised, and just stay strong and don't even talk to him about it, refuse to discuss it with him, that is in your best interest and as a bonus it will really get his goat; but if he does continue and really challenges you for custody then you need to get a lawyer, but hopefully you can handle the child support without one. pray every day for perseverence and you will be fine |

I will not drop your child support case, I think that he is only trying to scare you into dropping the case. If he does go through with it. I think the judge will see he only decided to sue for full custody. When you told him that you were taking him to court for child support. I would save all the emails!

It is a seperate issue and CANNOT be brought up in court. I have been through this. The DA is on your side. Support is seperate then custody. To get custody he needs to hire a lawyer and sue you. When you go to the DA for support they are on your side and states that they won't listen to custody issues. My ex left state(CA) and hid in wisconsin and wisconsin was awesome in locating him and making him pay to CA courts. |
