i find it sad when a good dad decides to call it quits

Dh has never missed a support payment

Chased down all the related school activity calendars for years.

Attended everything he could unless he was working OT, or sick.

He is not perfect. He is not big on entertaining kids. He believes in teaching values and morals.

He has been beat down.

Last night after 15 years of support bm told him she didn't need his money she said sign your rights away.

Wtf ever. I'm ready to light into two spoiled brats

BM can't force him to sign

BM can't force him to sign his rights over.

Chris Rock's stand up about men supporting their kids came to mind as I read this. LOL

This is just a power play.

This is just a power play. Why should he do what she says, in any circumstance?

He needs to ignore it and definitely not do it.

He needs to continue support, and may not be able to see them when he wants, but -

if he has been paying that long, the kids must be getting near the end of child support and can make their own decisions about him.

Without BM interference!!! It is worth it to just pay and hope the kids come to him later.

If they are too bad, just stop taking the visitation. In our case that corrected a lot of the attitude of both SD and BM.
