Newbie.....dealing with a MLC'er....

Jack,

I filed for sole custody back in July when she disappeared for a week. Just as Amy explained, she could have taken our son and I would have been f'd.

I never told her I filed. I kept it under wraps just in case she would have tried to run away with our son.

She has not provided for our son for over 6 months. I have not received a single cent. I felt like I had no choice.

I had my L put together a joint parenting plan. She did not want anything to do with it. Especially since she would have to pay child support.

Her behavior over this time has been erratic to say the least. It is very obvious that she doesn't want to be a mother right now.

I did this to protect myself and my son. If she would have at least tried to help out a little bit, I would not felt the need to proceed with this.
