:!: Way to go, Gator! Bite 'em!
My son is a single Dad, and he tries to maintain a decent relationship with his son's mom. Sometimes it even works! Both 'boys' live with us, and Dad goes to PTA, school conferences etc, or we in his absence. Mom is noticibly absent for most functions. She had the gall to ask about child support (Yeah, we'd love some help here, MOM!) She still files tax returns and grabbed a HUGE earned income even though the boy was with her MAYBE (I am being generous here!)30 - 45 days last year. And no monetary support either. But the kid is happy, secure and inquisitive and his curiosity is encouraged and fulfilled here. And we know where he is and WHO is caring for him (and how!), and he is a joy. Keeps us active, that's for sure! We are considering home educating, if Mom doesn't throw up too ibg a fuss. Here's a question -- without going into the "arena" how does a parent establish primary rights? (does 'possession' count?)
So keep perservering, gator, you're kids (present and future) will appreciate it and you will reap untold benefits!

from experience -- my daughter has step-children who seldom see their Dad and they are the most obnoxious, spoiled, self-centered beings I have ever had the misfortune to know. They get no discipline and rule their mother's life. Great future generation -- when you consider they are the 'norm' not the exception!
