So it seems I am a child abuser (Sarcasm intended)

I would think so but the courts simply do not have the time or manpower to look into one's "character". Other "character" issues.

She was married still when she married me.

She cheated on me at least once (probably more but I can only prove 1)

She has been living in our old house (which my folks own) and even though she got married again, had another baby (not mine) and re-married has never paid a full months rent.

She has accused me of abusing her (I did not) as she has accused everyone before her (even her dad who is free to see my kids)

Repeated nasty emails to my mom calling her a "bad landlord" for not fixing some issues with the house which they don't pay rent on.

etc etc i could go on but I am sure there is a limit to post size :eyebrow:

Woah! :eek:

If any verifiable elements of the above don't help your case I don't know what would!

BTW. Re your MM consumption: it hasn't impaired the lucidity nor the literacy of your posts. I don't know if the courts include one's on-line posting history in gauging an individual's mindset, but increasingly, prospective employers do.
 
Why have your parents not gotten her and her new husband evicted yet?

they are soon. My mother does want the kids to be told "Grandma's throwing us out of our house" which will be said often. They are getting evicted though, my Mom has had enough.


Hmmmmmm a clean piss test, exonerated by CPS and her being homeless................

I may see full custody in my future (dare I hope)

Well, Im certainly glad to see that in the works!

Could not your mother also testify to your ex's character? Surely the court would not look favorably on someone who doesnt pay their rent.
 
I would love to see her buried......... I joke, I joke.

Ashes are easier to dispose of :hiding:

How credible would it be? As it would be coming from an ex-mother-in-law.
 
She then proceeds to tell me that my middle daughter had bruises and my ex-wife is blaming them on me!!!!!!

Sorry, but I had to literally LOL at this one.

I have two daughters (12 and 6), and I can't remember a time when they didn't have a few bruises from playing, bumping into things, falling off a bike, etc. My wife and I had moments when we were wondering if we would get a call from their school asking about it. Right now, my 12-year-old has a very large bruise on her shin from her softball game on Sunday night and it hurts her to walk. If they're out playing and having a great time, bruises will happen. IMO, if your kid never gets a bruise, you need to get their make them get off the couch.

Good luck, John. Good mojo sent your way. :)

+1.

It seems the the system forgets that kids get bumps and bruises that are not from abuse.
 
Everything is in the equation when it comes to determining custody. Just because you are so 'enlightened' as to the harmless wonder that is MJ use doesn't mean everyone else is. The simple truth that many of us are arguing is that, when a judge or legal authority reviews Jady's case file, the part that details Jady's MJ use has the strong potential to reflect negatively on him. Should it? That's getting into semantics, and will probably get this thread closed. But could it? Absolutely, and that's something that he has to consider as his case goes forward.

You need to reread what I said. I said since he is legally entitled to smoke it for medicinal reasons then it shouldn't come into the equation. I never, not once said it wouldn't come into the equation.

To tell him or anyone to quit smoking pot for legitimate medicinal reasons is the equivalent of telling someone on RX benzodiazepines that they need to stop taking them for their anxiety. Or to tell a person that drinks responsibly that they shouldn't drink at all. That's all I was getting at.

Now, if abuse or addiction can be proven against our friend Jady, then that does indeed change things a bit.

The sad reality, is in fact, the system is not equal when it comes to these matters and is geared towards the woman.

BTW, thank you for the compliment by saying how "enlightened" I am about Marijuana. I've often times been called the "420 Guru" by my peers and coworkers due to the amount of knowledge I have on the subject. Perhaps, those that aren't as enlightened should get more informed about the facts before trying to be sarcastic with me. :D

Also note, I never said it was harmless.

yet you ignore the fact that marijuana use still has a social stigma and a great number of circles. court systems and child services being one of them

I already have a signed statement from my mother regarding thier payment record.

How credible would it be? As it would be coming from an ex-mother-in-law.

Well considering she named MY mother as her choice of supervisor for the visits I would think very credible :)

If your credibility is being accosted by your legal drug use then isn't the doctor who prescribed the drug to you also at risk of losing their credibility?

Not sure, everything is still pretty nebulous in most of CA. I live in the central valley which is right wing farmer land. The police will leave you alone but for pretty much anything else there is no real legal precedent to fall back on.
