Needing some advice on my toxic Ex and his wife.
I’ll try my best to make this as short as possible. My ex and I share a daughter together. When we 1st split it was ugly.. we were ordered to do co parenting classes and we ended up working on being better for our child’s sake. We are both remarried and up until a few months ago we got along great. He travels for work.. A LOT. Sometimes going weeks without seeing our daughter our 60,40 split has become more of a 95/5 split. I’m fine with that because who wouldn’t want more time with their child? Now he does pay child support ( not as much as he should considering he cuts time with her and got a new job promotion making over 60% more than his last job) but I don’t care about the money just to be clear I could have taken him back for more but I didn’t want to cause an augmentation and deal with the stress so I figure it out on my own , but everything and I mean everything is on me, Dr appointments, school functions, parent teacher conferences, taking her to and from sports, homework, tutoring EVERYTHING! He picks her up on a Sunday and has her back to me by Monday night or Tuesday morning. Now, to get to the point earlier this year our daughter caught Covid and I made her a Dr appointment. He said he would take her, but his wife got involved and said no. I was upset because when their son caught Covid he was there for him but was being told by his wife she couldn’t come to their house. Like what would they have done if I wasn’t in the picture taking care of her? Send her away? Obviously I lost it, took two weeks off of work and cared of her myself since he was a let down. I told him not to contact me (our daughter has her own phone he could and did call her) I would message him test results and leave it at that. I was also trying to establish boundaries with him, but that’s for an other story time. Him not being able to contact me drives him insane because he is a narcissist and can’t handle when he is not in control of me. Him and his wife try constantly to intimidate me because her family comes from money ( again an other story time) so i find out our daughter has Covid for sure and i had to quarantine her for 10 days, but after hurting his ego and not giving in to his blatant demands I get a call from my lawyer stating that he had once again filed motions of contempt against me, and now is filing a motion to modify our parenting plan. He wants me held in contempt for him missing a day with her on his scheduled time when he in fact did receive a make up day but I didn’t even have to give him per our parenting plan. The good news is we found out last week that the case for modification of parenting plan was dismissed by the judge. But now I have to go to court for these frivolous claims of contempt that I can easily prove him wrong because of our talking parents app and text messages. My question is, this isn’t the first time he’s filed frivolous motions against me and it is financially drained me, since the judge dismissed one case for modification my lawyers 99.9% confident that the contempt motions will be thrown out as well, but getting my attorneys fees back might be an issue? Has anybody gone through this before with a happy ending? There is a lot more to the story but I know most people won’t read extremely long post LOL so make a little mini series out of it! Thanks for your advice and please be respectful
