Knocked down yet again.

As I’ve posted before about my custody issues. The case turned out the same.... yet again. My ex was given custody because I don’t live in the same state as him. Even though he denies me parenting time, denies my child dental and healthcare treatment, denies my family time with our child. They said what my ex is doing isn’t bad enough to warrant my son moving. I’m sorry I can’t just pick up my life I’ve established in another state and move overnight. I’m so mad and so upset. It seems you can’t move out of the state of Ohio if your a parent. Even though my ex and I both had agreed to move to separate states, he moved then moved back to Ohio when things didn’t work for him and refiled for custody. But yet here I am.... the one who feels like I’m being punished for trying to make a better life for my family only to have to rip it from its roots and try to start new again.

Hi so sorry to hear this. It sounds to me like the judge thinks that changing schools and losing all his friends locally would be too much for your son, as well as returning to live with you. It sounds like you will have to move back to Ohio if you want custody. I know this must be very difficult for you to think about but if it means you get custody of him..... x

I know. It is just frustrating because his father has moved twice now within two years so this is the second school he has went to now and has had behavioral issues which he was court ordered to take him to therapy and he refused to.

I'm sorry to hear what you're going through- I'm thinking if moving to another state but will have to leave my kids. I got royally screwed in a custody dispute. Reason for wanting to move is that I receive no child support I'm really struggling and I'm so miserable at my job and having to commute an hour to an hour and a half each way. And if I move my kids will live with their dad and their stepmom.he's been trying to take them anyway and I'm so tired and worn out and I've gotten fat and unhealthy because of my depression.
