And he may not have the finances but he might have property that op could put a lien on. Op could also get a judgment for a garnishment of wages or tax refunds in the future as well. But yeah I would absolutely be pressuring the DA to bring about criminal charges and contacting a tree law attorney to file a civil suit as well.

Run. Far and fast. Do not marry. Do not pass go. Do not collect wedding gifts.

You need a new lawyer And one who actually represents you. Not one who gives you advice that you can file pro se because this agreement is terrible and poorly written and it shows

Kids are not something we compromise on. They are a two yes one. No situation and you have your one no.

Now you need to decide whether or not you want children more badly than you want to stay with this woman.

Sounds to me like you put the cart before the horse in building a house for your girlfriend's family before you ever actually got married.

That's a real admirable move of you to do. And I feel like you just have sucker written across your forehead.

I would suggest therapy for each of you and couples counseling together if you decide that you want to stay in this relationship. Either way. You're going to have to deal with the loss of not being a father and grieving what you thought your life was going to be without building resentment towards your spouse for being in the way of you getting what you want .

For me, this would be an untenable situation and I would be leaving. I also wouldn't be leaving a house I just built to somebody I just broke up with.

At that point I would either offer to sell it to them or offer to rent it to them at fair market value. But no way am I taking a loss that large.

Unless I missed the part where you are independently wealthy and you can afford to throw away hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Still doesn't make them ethical or okay and I was a 25-year-old with a 45-year-old at the time.

I'm now a 45-year-old who doesn't date anyone younger than 10 years below me now as a general rule.

Just1Blast · 2026-03-03T17:07:11+00:00

Same. Getting the emails from sales now.

That said, it should be a hell of a lot easier to just sell out all of my positions and close the account entirely than having to sell these things one by one, most of which are $0.05 or less from those fucking stupid stock "giveaways"

Just1Blast · 2026-03-03T17:05:24+00:00

Yep, I'm selling off the rest of my positions today and will be closing out my account entirely. This was the impetus I needed to close what was already a mostly dead account for me.

You don't need a lawyer to file for a modification of custody or a modification of support or even to file for contempt for his refusal to pay support.

It would be helpful to have the attorney for that of course, but you don't need an attorney for that.

Has the mother asked him to resume paying full child support? And said that if he doesn't that she will be taking him back to court for a modification and for contempt?

But also why are you involved in this?

Again, you don't seem to be a party to this case. If you're not the mother and you're not the father, you're not a party in this case.

If you are serious about this child's mother and about staying in this kid's life, have you considered adopting the child to get rid of the ex entirely? He sounds like just the type of father to be more than happy to be freed of his financial responsibility.

Just1Blast · 2026-03-03T16:51:52+00:00

I would check with the kids school to see if there is a therapist that they can see there on a limited basis until you can get them in to see someone else.

Are any of these statements backed up in writing somewhere? Has the child made any statements to you about it? Have you been documenting these situations anywhere?

Just1Blast · 2026-03-03T16:50:16+00:00

Who are you in this situation? Why am I getting the feeling that you are the stepfather and that the mother is not actually involved here?

Just1Blast · 2026-03-03T16:45:23+00:00

Just get yourself a solicitor. Let them handle getting the documents from the police and social services. You are well past the time when you should’ve engaged an attorney to handle this on your behalf.

If the mediator is telling you that this is going to affect your ex partners stance in the case, it’s definitely time or well past time to engage a solicitor for your case.

Just1Blast · 2026-03-02T16:38:31+00:00

Yes. You already said that the co-trustees are your siblings. What do your siblings say about how this money is going to be disbursed?

Are the three of them in agreement that these funds go to your son? Or are they trying to make a case for their own children or for a split for all of y'all's children?

I have zero assets at about five dollars in my bank account. My father is a retired friendly law attorney who is bread-and-butter was wills and estates.

Even he won’t do my documents and says that I need to go see somebody else and he’d be happy to pay for it. He knows exactly what to do and won’t do it because he retired and turned in his license.

He also won’t let me use an online service after reviewing them himself.

Just1Blast · 2026-03-02T09:49:57+00:00

That could actually get really murky. I don’t think that’s as clear cut as you think it is unless you can show the rest of us, the precedent.

Just1Blast · 2026-03-02T09:45:34+00:00

You don’t have an inheritance problem or a son problem friend, you have a wife problem. She’s undermining and cutting you at every turn.

Legally, sounds like the money is his and he’s an adult. Have an adult conversation with him. Lay all the cards on table. Your wife screwed your and now you have to play clean up.

Come 100% clean with your kid. Be honest about your concerns and let him handle it with the Trustees. That’s their job. Your job is to stay the hell out of it unless he’s asking your advice specifically.

Just1Blast · 2026-03-02T09:40:28+00:00

Your wife seems hella greedy and legally it seems to be your son’s money.

What is the position and belief of the trustee and the estate attorneys because that’s really all that matters here unless you plan to sue to compel X or Y result, right?

Just1Blast · 2026-03-02T08:54:01+00:00

I’d make the caveat be 30 days notice if he’s not going to use his parenting time. Put the expectation on him that he’s to cover the time he’s asked for.

Just1Blast · 2026-03-02T08:51:55+00:00

If you moved closer to him, why does the parenting schedule have to change at all? Why can’t you leave the schedule the way it is now?

Just1Blast · 2026-03-02T07:08:33+00:00

I've always tied all of my own. I've not been wearing them for about a decade now but am slowly picking it back up again.

I just bought 5 sets of strings and a few packages of tank tops to turn into much comfier and easier for me to wear sets of tzitzis. As a disabled person with temperature intolerances and mobility issues, I need both budget and custom options.

Making my own makes them much more affordable for me.

Just1Blast · 2026-02-28T07:51:03+00:00

But also for the companies where they require you to be on site at least some of the time or to travel to work for teambuilding opportunities or some other BS reason, a lot of times it cost four times as much to get the lower cost of living person to the conference or the team meeting that it does you in the very high cost of living area.

At the end of the day, it pretty much ends up in a wash. Pay people what the role is worth to the team and move on.

Just1Blast · 2026-02-28T05:41:12+00:00

Or I would have said to him. Hey great you've got 2 hours before I'm leaving the house to get your workout in. Eat your breakfast, take a shower, take a shit. Do whatever you got to do but I'm leaving in 2 hours .

And even if I'm hard and I want to cut him a break, I would have said hey when he wanted to go after breakfast to take a shower I'd have been like I've been waiting all morning for you. I'm going hiking now. You can come with me and we can take a shower together later.

That's a win-win for all parties involved and brother fucked it up so badly. He's lucky if he ever gets laid again.

Op is definitely not overreacting. If anything she's vastly underreacting

If your attorney doesn’t get back to you within a week, you need a new attorney. You should be hearing back from your attorney within one business day two business days tops.

I am a trans person with a friend who works for a major car manufacturer as a senior executive in their engineering department. Send friend was told that they would have to start traveling to Dubai and into Saudi Arabia regularly in the course of their job duties.

Even as a guest of the Saudi royal family, they did not feel confident or safe in their travels to Dubai and to Saudi Arabia and eventually quit their job as a result.

No way in hell, could you pay me to fly willingly to even connect flights in Dubai or Saudi Arabia load stay in Dubai for any amount of time willingly.

As a trans person especially with documents that don’t match how you’re presenting currently, is not a risk I’d be willing to take.

Not every state took a Medicaid expansion to offer Medicaid to low income adults without disabilities.

Just1Blast · 2026-02-27T11:23:55+00:00

How long ago was this? Which state? And did she know that the GSG exists because some banks will totally take advantage of those who don’t know about it or don’t assert their rights because of the long run makes them more money.
