I once dated a man with an ex-wife and 2 children. Then I wised up. Too messy, too much drama. Single and [very] happy now! I did try to make it work but he wouldn’t man up and stop the drama with his ex. He was always trying to make her happy and complying with her demands to avoid going back to court. And the kids were wild, zero discipline from both parents. I understand some blended families work and applaud them. It wasn’t my case.

[@rickhammar1636]

As a divorced guy with two kids I have found single moms are always trying to latch on to someone but almost all women tell me "I ain't raising someone else's kids". After 3 years of separation & 2 years divorced I totally get it. My ex starts something all the time. I don't even want the drama, there is no way I would invite another woman into the drama. I say never marry , stay single & learn to be happy & content on your own. To bad there is so much division between the sexes but divorce destroys so much it really is not worth it any more.

I am going through this now. Dave doesn’t understand the custody battles. My ex can bring me to court as often as she wants, I ran out of money to afford a lawyer meanwhile her dad was fronting her lawyer bill. Once I ran out of money I couldn’t afford my lawyer and we went to court yet again. She had a lawyer and I did not. I lost because of it. This will continue this way until my youngest is 18 years old. 8 years of this, a marriage is hard pressed to survive this long drawn out process. Courts do not care, meanwhile your debt continues to grow. Only two options and this point give up your kids and wait until they are 18 to have a relationship with them again or continue to let the debt grow.

[@XFizzlepop-Berrytwist]

Samantha Smiles The thing is though, courts order Child support way above what is needed. And most “mothers” do not use the money on the child, but on themselves. It does not cost 1k a month to care for 1 kid, or even 2. Its called child support, not support your spouses lifestyle. Thats Alimony, which I also (mostly) disagree with. The only exception to Alimony, should be if one parent stayed at home with the child, and the other worked, and supported them, Alimony should only be paid out until all the children are 5 years of age, which then allows the mother to work. It is stupidity that courts make a person pay to the tune of a lifestyle, that is ludicrous. I could easily feed kids, clothe them, for less than 100$ a week. The courts always take men for a ride.

If people know the ex is an addict, then why is it so difficult to get custody? Find the proof you need and present it to the judge. A lot of states allow minors to choose which parent they want to live with as long as the child is a certain age. The age is different in each state.

Guardianship can be an abusive curse. Guardians bankrupted my neighbor's mother leaving less than zero to the four kids. The Guardian was appointed because the youngest daughter - a drug addict - moved in with the mom and was spending her money without authorization. This is what the court did - and it was worse.

I don’t date men with messy ex spouse drama. I simply won’t. I realize not everyone is able to have a healthy coparent situation for reasons beyond their control but it’s not a situation I would want to involve myself or my daughter in.

Attorneys can be money grubbers.

[@annle5521]

This is why I don’t date men with kids lol too much baggage

[@jenniferarcher-bock9302]

Omg, why is the husband putting his poor wife through this? Why is she contributing her money towards his custody battle? Men need to make peace with their baggage and not drag it into new marriages. If they want any peace at all and the mother is ruled fit by a judge they should concede to the mom. These are always losing battles and it’s the new wife who suffers...

Give them the kid. He will, unfortunately, not last very long and all will be out of their misery or he'll turn out like Mom. How's the girl doing? Ex could care less and her parents failed with her so are trying for a do over. Start your own family. Dad can mourn his first two. Wonder how this came out.

Run girl run!

Sounds like you need to Consult with OJ Simpson, not an attorney

[@genxx2724]

🤣

[@joecoolioness6399]

Dave is right, if you don't pay in (have an attorney), you get trampled. Doesn't matter if you are wrong or right.

[@PInk77W1]

Never marry someone with baggage. Never. Unless u love being a victim.

[@radolfkalis4041]

The ex wife parents goal is to financially destroy them, and they will in short order. Unvortunately this is not a battle they can win.

[@AmandaHugenkiss2915]

Unfortunately sometimes you have to cry uncle and let it go. Even custody. Or your life will be destroyed.

[@copperridgegrow3940]

Divorce him, it’s a huge mess

[@TNFVLOGS]

Dating a person with kids is one thing but marrying someone with kids should be out the question because the kids mother or father can dip there hands in your income legally because of the child support

[@Europa1749]

Unfortunately, the ones with the money have the power. Her mistake was to marry a man with children. She's paying for it now.

[@profitmix441]

Why do ppl go to court without a lawyer? Why???

[@ambersykora352]

They should have gone to legal aid, or reached out to the father's rights league in Austin, tx. They have lawyers you can call anytime and throw as many legal questions as possible and gets answers

[@taylorsmith9629]

Any update? I wish we could get updates on these people.
