2 dreadfully long days
Until I go to court against my ex husband. Seeking unsupervised overnight visitation with our daughter who is almost nine that he hasn’t seen in over a year. Since 2015 he has ALWAYS had supervised visitation. Nervous is an understatement right now. I’m trying to smoothly weigh out the pros and cons in My head. I haven’t received child support in four weeks which means he either quit his job or got fired. (I’m going with fired). He doesn’t have a vehicle so he has no way of transporting my daughter back and forth. He lives a good 35-40 mins from me with his girlfriend and her three kids in a tiny little two bedroom apartment. My daughter doesn’t know his girlfriend or her kids and has now openly expressed to me that she does not want to see her father. I mean I don’t blame her. This isn’t the first time he’s abandoned her. His family has threatened to kill me multiple times. They have threatened to kidnap my daughter. They have locked my daughter in a room when she was four to question her about my personal life. They locked my ex out and kept my daughter when he told them she couldn’t sleep over. I’ve had to get the police involved in order to get my daughter back from them in 2015. Honestly the list goes on and on. She has ADHD and ODD so I try and keep her as busy as possible. I’ve signed her up for soccer and softball this spring and she’s in basketball right. He has absolutely no idea how to care for someone with ADHD. We’ve started changing her diet which I know he won’t abide by. So my plan is to have my lawyer get this judge to make sure it’s supervised at a therapeutic center with someone there watching how they interact which I know for a fact my daughter won’t do anything with him. He’s married and has had two girlfriends. I’m just not sure how I’m going to handle it if the judge awards him unsupervised because how does someone throw a child to someone they haven’t had contact with in over a year? Or someone that is so financially and mentally unstable. People with ADHD needs structure and stability. Something myself and my fiancé have unlike my ex. He changes his underwear like he changes his girlfriends.
