My H never calls to talk to our kids. I think that it helps them stay seperated. If they had to talk to the kids everyday they might have to take a look at what they are doing. That would be to much guilt for them. As for asking for money, that should not be an issue. If you were still living together he would have to help with her needs. My h hasn't given me money for our 2 kids in over 2 months. Whenever I ask he is always broke. Of course not to broke to go out drinking or to a concert. But he'll pay in the end. We as mom's get to continue our daily relationship with our kids and they gotta work hard at keeping their's. We get the better end of the deal when it comes to the kids.

Keep smiling. And no I wouldn't tell him you have the D papers. Just do what you have to and wait until he gets served.
