My mom and dad are divorced. They definatly aren't to civil towards each other. They keep doing things as kinda payback for what the other did earlier, usually something involving finances as it usually is in a divorce. My sister is currently living with my mom in Guam and boith are very happy and doing well. My dad is mad that my mom seems to keep winning battles pertaining to child-support so his solution is to yank my sister out of an enviroment that she is certainly succedding in and has many good friends. My dad wants to take her out because he has the warped idea that my mom is just a bad influence when really she is just a happily, remarried mom and has finally founds happiness with her new husband and just tends to get "money hungry" from time to time. I want him to understand that yanking my sister from her happy, successful life she had made should not be taken away simply becasue he wants to punish my mom just because she gets the child-support due to her when she needs it.

some parents are cruel from acting on thier own anger... putting kids in the middle of adult issues.
if your sis is doing well there, and old enough to say so to a court, you have no worries. he, however, will not ever shut up about it for he feels he is being wronged and looking for someone to agree with him.
he also doesnt want to pay support (he resents it), that is what i see. its his motivation. sad.
here are some links that may help with the child support. sorry, i have none for 'how to make a dad stop being a bunghole'. if i did, i'd post it for ya.

Don't worry most judges see past the bitter battles that go on during divorce. He will always look out for the best interest of the child. If your sister is old enough, he'll even let her decide where she wants to live.

Using the children as "pawns" when the real issue is between the parents is unfair and mean spirited ... the ex-spouse is not who suffers and the child develops a disrespect for the parent who plays these games. Remind your dad that it is his children who will pick out his nursing home ... what goes around comes around .... the lesson he is teaching his daughter is to strike out at those who hurt you through innocent people who are not responsible for the situation. Its called "cowardice"!

WOW - You should print this and show it to your Dad. You already have the answer your looking for. You know whats best for your Sister, now show it to your Dad. She will resent him if he takes her away from her home. You seem to be the mature one here, maybe you can talk some sense into him. Put it to him calmly, and let him know that this isn't about you, or him, its about your Sister, and whats best for her. Good Luck
