I agreed right away because my ex was verbally and physically abusive to my son as well as to me. My son's safety was all that mattered to me. But the judge granted sole custody to me as well as child support - with very limited and strictly supervised visitation. My ex never requested visitation and only sent a few letters to my son. This was 20 years ago and I'm thankful everyday that my son is doing well and has his own family now.

Solution for fathers living in feminist countries, where the state interferes in your family, and you have no authority over your own children. You need to do what these single moms do, when they use you as a sperm donor, and a financial asset to squeeze every last drop out of you through the separation process. This is what I did. I have 3 beautiful children living with me in the UK, but they have no mommy. Why? Because I don’t want to deal with a mommy after I got screwed when I was younger, by a woman who didn’t want me see my child, and made my life hell. After that, I went to Philippines, and I got a small young 18 year old girl. I promised her the world, and moved her to Cambodia, and got her pregnant. She had the baby in Cambodia, and signed over custody. She was completely dependent on me, and dirt poor. Couldn’t even afford a flight home. Guess what, after I left her ass, with my new baby, I never heard from here again. I did this two more times. Never been happier!

Did it make me feel good to know that he wanted me there? No, it didn't feel good at all. I felt sorry for him, not because he was my father, but because no one else cared enough to show up. I was there out of pity, not loyalty or love. When he finally apologized, I felt nothing; it was too late-the damage had already been done. Mr Pike, someday you will need your sons, and you better pray that, like me, they will have enough pity for you to be there.

I sat in the court room and watched as she chose her life of drugs and alcohol over being a mother to me. Growing up without my mother was very hard, luckily my grandparents from my mothers side seen how all this was affecting me and had a hand in helping my dad raise me. Growing up i only received one gift from my mother ( a 3 pack of trolls ) for Christmas. I remember my dad taking me to her house to visit her and i ended up spending the whole weekend in the livingroom by myself because she was in the bedroom doing her drugs the whole time. I would cry every time my dad took me to her house for a visit, and after awhile of this i finally told my dad how it was at her house. After i told him the visits were transferred to my grandparents house where they could be supervised. As an adult now i look back and realized that what i went through has given me the extra drive to be the best mother to my two girls that i can be and making sure my girls know i love them. They grow up knowing they have a mother who will always choose them. I hope these boys do the same, i hope they grow up and be a better man then their father was.

The reality is it’s not just a lack of strong fathers, as there are mothers who are abandoning their children as well. What is happening is we have people having children for the wrongest of reasons, have unrealistic expectations for infants, toddlers, and children in general, are highly immature, impatient, selfish, and don’t know how to weather any storm. Raising children is not easy, cheap, nor is it for the faint of heart, but you are responsible for another life, a child, and future adult. If you are not willing to sacrifice everything, you are not ready to be a parent. This dude is very selfish and immature, but his mother still makes excuses for him, so he never had to grow up, and still hasn’t. Age, does not make you mature, responsible, or an adult. There are many children suffering in this country, for many reasons, and if they are not healed, they, most often, become ill-mannered, irresponsible adults, with poor coping skills. Then they have children, and the cycle continues.

From the minute I was dropped off, I counted down until the next weekend. Had the most amazing bond....then at 13, he just left. Not only him, but my grandmother and aunt and his whole immediate side followed in behind them. Their reason being that my dad would disown them if they didn't. I had a breakdown. I became promiscuous all through high school, I threw myself into colorguard and worked as many hours as I could. Knowing what I know now about depression, I was severely depressed but kept myself busy as a front.

He is paying for two kids. Mother can pay for one, right! Equality!

He shouldn't have had the other two if he couldn't afford the first one. 😕

[@spreadlovenothate980]

This judge blessed us with 2 adopted sons. She is all about the kids.

[@SusanH578]

This hits home! My kids were 18 months & 4 years old when my ex & I divorced. He tried everything in the book to not pay any child support. Then, he found an old “friend” from high school & the kids & I ran into them at Wally World. The next weekend the kids went to their Dads, she was already moved in with him. Well, she was in college with my best friend & said it was “questionable” whether my ex was the kids Dad! That lit a fire in me & I met him in my driveway that day & told him that we needed DNA tests ASAP since his woman was spreading false info! He said “I KNOW their my kids!” So I told him she needed to stop spreading lies or else I would directly deal with her. He ended up marrying this woman & went from being a great dad to not seeing the kids, his choice. Then his wife coaxed him into moving where she was prior to moving here. He hasn’t spoken to my son in YEARS & my daughter finds out things about him on FB. It’s pretty sad when your child’s father has to read on FB that he has cancer. He couldn’t even contact his children privately. But I think he knows deep down that he ruined those relationships long ago.

[@carlhash6540]

You don’t sound very mature to go demanding a DNA test. I think he made a good decision start anew with the other woman. Your kids are bastards now. So congrats on yourself. You know they will pay the price later, for that.

[@Mystichawk65]

Man what a piece of 💩 Feel sad for those kids 😔 I wish all the best for them and their mother.

[@thelatinist5024]

I haven’t heard much, but I’m already pretty disgusted. ETA: It just got worse and worse. “There’s nothing for me in that state and nothing for me to see.” And he wonders why his son is acting out (in a relatively minor way)?

[@addie_is_me]

Me too, 6 minutes in.

[@-HeyLyd-]

Really. What a vindictive man-child. Your kid mouths off so you're ready to give up your parental rights? "I won't be your dad because you said something disrespectful and I'm too cheap to support you?" It's a shame to say, but these poor boys are in for a lifetime of heartache with this selfish a$$hole for a father.

[@addie_is_me]

@@-HeyLyd- Maybe their grandmother will be good to them and a positive influence. Grandparents are waaay different from their own kids vs their grand kids.

[@crlewis]

I can't believe he said "There is nothing good in Michigan for me". So heartbreaking I just hope that child knows he is loved by an eternal father

[@shannonfuller3465]

You don't stop being a parent when your kids are grown. They always need your guidance.

[@AntaresSelket]

Okay, I love that Judge. She is no nonsense, and the lawyer did a great job at turning Mrs. Peck's words against her son. He says he isn't working, and is disabled, and his mother says he does work, has health problems, but as far as she knows he still drives and works. What a POS, deadbeat father Kevin is. I agree with you Bigen, he is a spoiled child. The boys are better off without him and thanks to their mother she already has the eldest boy in therapy and working on his ADD and dyslexia.

[@markzelinski4434]

Girl YOU DONT WANT THIS MAN AROUND YOUR CHILDREN! Drop the money and let him sign off his rights! Absolutely disgusting

[@shantidavid6062]

Agreed! If the kid is with the grandparents, they'll spoil them, the way they raised their own son. The father is of course totally useless. Better if he's out of their lives. That's what I did. Full custody. Didn't care of the child support. My kids are grown men and they have nothing to do with their father even though their father has tried. My youngest son used to be very rude when he calls. I told him not to be rude. He told me he's old enuf to decide how to talk to a man who abandoned his family. Polite is not one of the hows! 😂🤣😆😆

[@xhaltsalute]

Child support and custody are two separate not intertwined situations.

[@willieverusethis]

Take the money and let him sign off on his rights.

[@somewhereinspace2166]

That's basically saying, let him get what he wants, to be a bum who abandoned his children with no consequence. Letting deadbeats off the hook is a nice way to see this crisis of absent fathers keep escalating. Why should the mother be stuck with all the responsibility because this dude's an a-hole? That makes no sense.

[@vizzini2510]

I love my Mother, and I loved my Father before he died. Neither is/was perfect, but they both loved me for my entire life. I feel so fortunate that I never had a useless parent that never gave a sh*t about me.

[@anythingforselenas806]

Same here, there’s no perfect parents and no perfect kids. You stick together because you love each other unconditionally. I appreciate my parents more and more the older I get.

[@retroreceptionist7571]

What a strange case. Personally I’d never be able to give up on my children. As the child of an epileptic who sometimes had daily seizures. My dad wouldn’t walk out of my life. No matter what, poor Trevor I guess I’m fortunate to have been loved by my parents, despite us being poor. At least we were wanted. No kid should feel unwanted especially for “being disrespectful”

[@georgitr8s6513]

You are correct! THIS IS NOT A MAN! Those poor children who probably have so much hurt over the feelings that their father hates them.

[@winemomma2689]

Wow, getting a straight answer from grandma and dad is hard to do. That lawyer really had his work cut out for him.

[@terezashupp9948]

I thought there was something wrong with the feed because it was bouncing around so much but then I realized it was because I was shaking my head so hard at everything the 'father' said. Such a disgusting man to just abandon his children like that.

[@GeneralLeia]

A teen being disrespectful is NOT a reason to terminate parental rights. Wow, what despicable people the father and his mom are - absolutely disgusting.

[@dshe8637]

When kids act up, that's when they need calm, supportive, loving parents the most. It's like toddler tantrums. You can't just walk away because your kid is making a noise.

[@hoover3433]

The mother is not disgusting she is the one providing everything. You are disgusting for saying that against her.

@@hoover3433 i rhink she was referring to the father's mother

[@gonzo3954]

I don't think the grandmother is despicable, she's just being honest. She sounds like she wants what's best for her grandsons. Teenagers act up and think they know everything. You don't give up on them. This guy is a POS for the way he's treating his sons.

[@rmbr343]

My Dad quit his job before my parents went to court for their Legal Separation. He cried to the judge about how he was broke and didn't have any money. The judge admonished my mom for bringing my father down to that level of upset with her request for child support. These kids are 100% better off without him! He better watch out, though. He's going to end up like my father... dying alone in a VA Hospital.

[@phyllisadventuresincooking3865]

We don't know the real reason about the situation you only know what was told to you. And that's the problem these women are vicious.

[@CoachReRe314]

​@phyllisadventuresincooking3865 and you don't know either so why make a statement about women as such? Some women need to put their foot down to make sure they receive fair judgment for themselves & their children. Men can definitely be vicious as well, since you going there smh

[@ButcherBird-FW190D]

My IDIOT brother actually thought the same thing. One of his buddies (all of them just barely graduated high school) told him that if he signed a piece of paper saying he did not want to see his daughter again he would no longer have to pay child support. He was so excited, until I told him the reality of the situation. That was 30 years ago... Now ? I am closer to his daughter than he is. Past this; his story-line now that his ex-GF passed away ? Oh, he was just the greatest Father all along. 'course he lives in an extremely small town (might be 1,000 people max), so everyone knows his BS lines.

[@ericaonline3739]

Friendliest courtroom ever... a very patient, nice judge and the bailiff even asks witnesses if they would like coffee or water. This father is a total POS though, how frustrating... his parents take care of his son for him when he isn't with the mother, and apparently neither the father nor his mother (the child's paternal grandmother) have heard of the concept of "Unconditional Love". I don't know how old Trevor is, but it sounds like he is going through normal teenage behaviour. Edit: I've just found out Trevor is 12 years old, so... what do you expect? I just can't believe that the grandmother doesn't even want anything to do with him because, in her words, "He asked to call his mom at 11:30 at night after we forbid him to go for a walk while camping." This is so sad!

[@PepeDeezNutz]

Hey mommy

[@NFS305]

Oh my. Go for a walk before bed! That’s an outrage! Dang kids wanting to get fresh air and explore at night! I mean I used to sneak out of the house to ride my bike around the neighborhood and glad I did. But these kids need to stay inside and play video games so they can learn how to be on a computer the rest of their life. Jk. The son didnt fall far from the tree. Hope Trevor becomes an explorer one day!

[@janeguarnera7700]

Was a lone parent of 3, despite mental and physical challenges, including a PTSD seizure disorder, my kids now all grown, each in possession of an understanding parents aren't perfect; they appreciate despite my imperfections I put my whole heart and energy into each of them, even though it was challenging for all of us. Respect, compassion, empathy is earned, first and foremost by showing it.

My late husband had MS. He died of MS. He was impacted in every way. He worked a month before he entered hospice. This makes me so freaking mad. He would kill to be as disabled as this guy and kill to spend one more day with his kids. To toss away the gifts that he's been given is just so selfish and gross.

That dad needs some coaching from a dad like you. My heart breaks for those two boys whose father doesn’t want them.
