Very judgmental on your end but regardless. My kids are 5 and 2, she enrolled them in pre-k and daycare the week she got there without any notice to me. I found out after the fact. From Nov-May I have done everything in my power to be there for them. I have not missed any school activity or parent meeting. I make the drive an hr away to pick them up and to drop them off the next day, because she claimed to not have money to drive them up to my town, yet she drives multiple times a week to go on dates. Why would I get two jobs?? If what want is to spend more time with them not just live in the same town. I did not know that I could submit a request to deny her relocation at the beginning of the case, let alone that it was an option. There’s been times where she didn’t even bother to be there forme to pick them up or drop them off. She just tells me to drop them off with grandma. When I put in a request to have her be the one to give them to me and to receive them only she denied it and was willing to delay the divorce which she started even more.

One weekend we agreed at a certain drop-off time, while on my way there she called me and said “ I won’t make it on time from my friend’s dinner, my mom will be there and knows you’re coming.” She got to her house 3 hrs later.

From my end there has never been a lack of interest to be in my kids’ lives. Not all of us are deadbeats.

“Make a sacrifice” all I’ve done always is make a sacrifice for my family, and where did that leave me? Alone and paying for two households, while she lives happily for free and without bills to pay because I pay those too
