This was an interesting read. I have a question regarding my brother. (Same mom, different dad) his parents split up and dad is remarried. My brother is 12 and does jiujitsu with my husband and I. He is sponsored by our school so that it does not cost anything. My mom saved to buy his GI and belt and he goes regularly on her weeks. When it comes to his dad’s weeks he can’t go. It literally does not cost his dad ANYTHING and all of us have offered rides to and from so that his dad does not have to do anything at all, just let him go. He just refuses. He’s not against the sport as he has no problem with him doing it on my mom’s week. It is devastating my little brother. He has to miss his promotion because it’s on his dad’s week. His dad has previously agreed to let him go and has even promised my brother over and over again that he will take him but never ever does. Is there anything at all that could change this?

My ex refuses to take our son to his karate events when it is their “weekend” and this is very disappointing to my son. Is there any way to make them take our son to these events? What legal recourse do I have in this situation?

Great article, I really like that you stress conversation before contempt. I have two kids that live with my ex. One of the kids started playing basketball in school and his grades went from passing to failing. I sent an email to my ex saying that I did not want the boy practicing or playing sports until he raised his failing grade(s) to “C” or better. My kid is still playing sports and still failing math, my ex will not respond to my request and the boy is taking advantage of the position I am in sadly. I’d rather not pursue the emotionally and financially expensive contempt route if possible, any suggestions? Thanks!

I have 2 children that i truly love with all my heart. Without getting into all the past arguments, I pay full child support, medical, dental, sport fees, uniforms, basically everything that is needed to participate. My question is when is enough enough. I’m a Firefighter in MA. The pay is about 86k per year minus taxes, $400.00 per week for my children, Dental, & medical deductions. Gas to and from as many games as I can get to. Which is most. The kids go to school 5 days per week, CCD classes, and then the sports. Some of these are very expensive. Mom has to have everything Under Armour brand for them. In between regular sports then comes the week long sporting camps. At times the kids are playing 2 sports at a time. I’m trying to keep my head above water. My truck is 13 years old, my house needs major work. I hardly ever get to take my son and she says our daughter is to afraid to come without her mommy. Mom has not upheld her end of the court order. I have no money left to fight for my time with the children. I miss my daughter like crazy, she lets our son come about once every 10 days. She has never given me my every other weekend nor my every other holiday. The 2 weeks in the summer will never happen. My ex wife has a new home in a lovely town, family beach house in Rye N.H. , brand new S.U.V. and so on. She is a stay at home mom with a side daycare business. Many of her clients pay cash weekly. This I know as I was married to her. $50-$ 65 per day per child 5 days per week, 7 different children on those 5 days per week. This can’t be proven as most of it is in cash. This coming February she will be taking our two children and her child from a previous relationship on a 10 day cruise to Bahama’s , Turks, and I forget the third destination. Her parents give her money as her dad had a wonderful government job. Traveled all over the world. My parents also contribute to everything they can. They are trying to help me fix things in my home. Rotting wood on thresholds, broken pipes to dishwasher. Not beatification just necessary fixes. I just want to know when enough is enough. She has a very very good lawyer. I can’t afford any lawyer @ this time. Any advise would be great.
