Question

  Posted to group - What do i do now    <<Previous    Next>>

money/custody/contempt of court

My stbx demands every other week custody, which has been court assigned temporarily.  He demands I put my car in my name and take his name off the loan..mind you, it is a beaten up '02 camry which he borrowed $17,000 on in order to pay off his truck...a nice new diesel.  he also informed me he made $10,000 on a little side job he did the other day...we are about to lose our house, are in debt up to you know where...he emptied our checking and savings account/judge ruled we were to split it equally.  he took my wedding rings from my jewlery box..  will none of this be leverage for me in custody setup? isn't this contempt of court?  I also suspect his father has put some farm land in his name as well.  I really do not want to anger him...and he will get angry...but he is not willing to do anything  I ask..he gets the children and they end up spending the night with his brother and his wife...ohhhhhhh..what to do?  Judge will assign a mediator in July if we do not come to an agreement..and we have to go to parenting classes

Get the restraining order. Better safe than sorry. Talk to your lawyer about all the rest, maybe he can help you as far as the money & try to speed things up for the sake of the kids.
Take care & be safe. Please tell us you changed your locks on your doors. If not, do it. If he is capable of that other stuff god knows what other ideas he may get into his head about the rest of your property or your person.

It is so hard.  he brought the children to me this evening...had his father with him...they tried to have a confrontation with my father.  Want my dad to meet them somewhere for an hour to talk.   They are upset about some of the affadavits and what was said in them...which was all true.  Restraining order may be in the making..but that makes me afraid as well...that will really make him angry.

This is tough, he is obviously being advised to do all these monetary things.  I am shocked he took your wedding rings.  You should let your attorney know all this and hopefully the court will order him to return your things. Do not take his name off of anything until you are court ordered. Keep him on the hook for something.  Keep good financial records, prove to the court he emptied your bank account and make sure he shows accurate pay stubs at mediation.  don't let him get away with this.  Stay strong!
