I would say post-divorce we had a decent relationship and were cordial for our daughter's sake but everything changed they day Jane started dating her current husband "Tom" (47m). I guess she needed to prove to him that she was over me by becoming hostile because I for the life of me can't explain what

    Font - else could be the reason for her becoming so angry and refusing to follow the custody agreement anymore. Because of my job at the time she had primary custody but I was supposed to get every other weekend and summers while we alternated Holidays.

After the decree I started getting suspicious because Jane and I have equal access to Mandy's college fund so I decided to add-in special protections and alerts.

    Font - BabY_pot4to · 7 hr. ago NTA, but go get your daughter out of there, she is old enough now that court will considered her request with whom she wants to live and you have proof of the shady things your ex tried to do with your daughters money. And if you tell the truth I bet your daughter isn't seeing much of HER child support. You pay that money to be used for your daughter not the live of to adults that steal from their child. 3.2k Reply Share Report Save Follow

    Font - H_E_Pennypacker 17 min. ago YTA, you're sabotaging your ex's parenting by doing this and that is not good for your daughter.
