As some of you know I have been going through a custody battle with my ex wife. She was trying to move to texas to follow her boyfriend. We had one kid together, my daughter Skylar. She is now 11. Some of you guys here on the boards have met my daughter and seen us together. Well after a 5 month litigation I lost. Today I was informed by a judge that my daughter will be moving to Texas in 10 days. The ex lied right through her teeth at every opportunity. We caught her in every single lie and still the court saw it in the best interest of my daughter Skylar to be ripped from me and moved to Texas. I was granted some visitation but nothing like what I have now. My daughter lives only 2 miles from me and I see her all the time. That is clearly going to change. I just thought I would vent here.
Thanks

i have a friend who went through something similar. he ended up moving to be closer to his kid. my fiancee's dad ended up moving to wichita when she was like 13. he calls her, skype's, and visits whenever possible. just keep on trying to maintain that relationship. if anything get a cell phone where she can call you whenever she wants, etc. i dunno if its too late but if the court can put something in writing that allows her to have the cell phone so the mother cant monitor or stop her from communicating with you.

Dave.....reading this made my stomach turn. The recent last few times I've seen you, you told me a few of the details of the trial and I'm floored that any judge in the world would have gave that judgement based on what youve told me. I am terribly sorry to read this and cant even imagine the frustration youre going through right now. We're all here for ya if theres anything at all you need.

I'm sorry to hear that as well.. The only ones who win in a custody battle are the attorney's.
It's the children that suffer the most. :thumbdown:

That is sad news. Try to keep your chin up if you can, I have a few friends going through this same deal and it never turns out the way it should.
-
Although I don't know you I am really sorry this happened to you. I went through the same thing only difference was i was the kid. Hopefully something will work out in your favor. Ill keep you in my prayers.

This is Bull shit!!!!!!!! :mad: I dont know how anyone in their right mind can look at this situation and feel it is the right decision to allow her to be removed and taken away from everything she has and has known her whole life. Hang in there Brosiff. It pisses me of that they can just sit there and lie like that with us sitting there what goes around comes around.

I would not be so quick to move to Texas unless you have family already there. There is a good chance things will not work out for a variety of reasons, and the ex and daughter will end up having to move somewhere else. At 11 your daughter is not going to forget you, and if your ex tries to "run you down" it will probably have the effect that she wants to be with you even more. She has seen that you were willing to fight for her in court.
IMHO I would just take a wait and see attitude, and be ready to step in if (and when) things go badly in TX. I hope things turn around for you and your daughter sooner rather than later.

I kinda had the same thing happen with my oldest, taken to North Carolina, although my younger two stayed with me in a separate court case. No telling or seeing common sense or rationality with a judge or the court system. Mine all went down in Ohio thank gawd, cuz here? well, lets just suffice it to say in Arizona, unless you're a member of the Latter Day assmunchers, you're pretty much screwed in every court from traffic, to family and criminal. Most every judge here in Arizona is Mormon, which is LDS speak for More Money (for Me, Man)............You're screwed if you ain't a member of the club. This is simple fact here.
Court system aside, listen to John and don't make the same mistakes I have in alienating my oldest over the grudge with her mother. The one that suffered was my daughter in all that and in the end the ex won through manipulating my anger. She's about to make me a grampa, and I haven't seen her since my wife's funeral. Talked to her many times, but that ain't the same. Keep in touch with Skye. She will learn the truth on her own eventually.
