Robx, in TX a parent technically can keep the kids from the other parent without any criminal violation. I have dealt with many custody issues, and the "cops" wont get involved unless a judge orders them to. I could show up to S school to pick him up at the same time as W, but I dont want any drama at his school, in front of him or anything like that. I did like your post, but I dont want to send her another email, I will do as she wished, and let the L's deal with it. i still dont think she is delaying the D, I believe it was delayed because of the case log. In any case, I am still somewhat fumed right now, and will only contact her by phone going forward and only when it is kid related before bed will be the phone call she will get and I will only talk to the kids.

In a way, i look at the brighter side, her email this morning, gave me more of a reason to further detaching and also re enforced what i dont like about her.

I feel the whole friend thing, whether they want to be with you or not, is to keep a piece of you in their back pocket, to pull out that piece of you when they need it.

Lets see how this goes for her going forward, "be careful what you wish for, you might just get it" keeps going through my head right now for some reason smile


That's interesting,
here in Canada,
you can call the police and they will come with you to see your children if they are being kept from you by a spouse that has no formal custody agreement.

With no formal agreement in place,
she can't keep you from your kids and vice versa,
don't be afraid to stand up for yourself and your rights in this regard, anything less may be interpreted as acceptance of the current situation.
