Is it just about money?
The more research I do the more I wonder about my own divorce custody experience. My ex was so vicious during our divorce. He and his attorney were so horrible about bringing up things in my past to make me look bad. (by past I mean as far back as high school) The point of the attacks was to try to get him sole custody of the kids. All I wanted was to get away from him and have joint custody. See, I didn’t think (and still don’t) he was a bad father. I thought (and still think) he was a horrible husband. Because of his job and the hours he worked it was turning out that the kids would spend more time with me and he would have to pay a small amount of money to me monthly. The amount wouldn’t even have cover half of my rent. When we realized he would have to pay is when it seemed his efforts of annihilating my character seemed to step up. My lawyer at the time (new and young) tried to get the issue of him not wanting to pay to the attention of the court.(unsuccessfully) I changed lawyers soon after. Luckily I got help from other resources and was able to achieve the established custody I originally wanted. He was ordered to pay his minimal amount. Right out of the gate the money came at least 30 days late. When I would argue with my ex that the money was needed for rent or day care his response was, “by law I have 30 days before I’m late” and, “this is the situation you wanted, you deal with it” Is he just a jerk, angry that I divorced him, angry about the money or all three?
