Flash Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 subject: Custody Battle... Alright, this is some serious s**t, so stick with me... And Sorry, but I'm not using names... Awhile back, you may remember the topic I made about my 'Step-father' cheating on my Mother. Well, my worst fear has come true. He's trying to get custody of my baby brother. His reason? He thinks I'm dangerous. That's right, little old me. The one who doesn't want to try anything too 'extreme', the one who likes 'safe' activities... The one who would rather take time to open a door and coax a fly out, rather then swat it. He's taken a whole lot of Minor things that i've done, and blown them up so far out of proportion, you wouldn't even think they're related issues. He's mentioned the times I shouted at him, and told him to 'get the f**k out of my house, you worthless pile of s**t', but forgot to mention that it was a few days after I found out he had been cheating on my Mother. Apparently I'm 6'0", and weigh 12-13 stone, and I'm physically intimidating. I'm like, 5'8" (if that), and weigh more like 9-10 stone. He's even lieing about my size and height. I can't believe he's trying to get custody. This is coming from the same man who when my Mother asked; "Do you want me to drop of for awhile on Thursday so you can spend time with him?" he replied; "I'll think about it." I can't believe that. He said he'd 'think about' seeing his baby son. People like him make me sick. But the point remains. He's trying to get custody of my baby bro... I love my brother. I don't want him being taken away from us... There's no way will win, though. His lies aren't going to get him anywhere... He doesn't even have a house of his own. But still... A court battle... My mother wants to counter his custody order, and get a restraining order so he can't come around here... Thank God... But still, even though there's no way we can lose the battle... I'm scared. I have to go into court and everything, on Feb. 5th... I'm just really scared, and alone. Gawd... This is life changing... Wish me luck..
Sephiroth Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 when something like this occurs, there really is no right thing to say for any of us, so I'll just say good luck to you, my friend, and I am sure that your little brother won't be taken away from you, with all the cards stacked against your step father, there really is nothing that he can really do....

Ugh, I'm not getting any sleep tonight.. Not even GTA3 will calm my nerves... *sigh*
Desbreko Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 [color=indigo]I'd be nervous too, if I was in your situation. I can't think of anything else to say, except good luck. I'm sure you'll win though.[/color]

Delian Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 Wow that kind of thing would be scary, but you're the man of the house now, no matter how old you are. You need to be tough, mature and smart in situations like these. I've never been in one, and I don't know what else to say...except stay confident and keep cool Good Luck...I hope everything goes your way, as i'm sure it will. Your step-father has nothing on you, if he is creating lies and exagerations Lots-A-Luv:)
Avalon Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 Wow dude, I thought I had problems with my step-father! I'll pray for you, man, I know how it is! My mom was in this same situation with me and my dad. She won though, on account of being a lady. So I had to stay with her. Good luck, man! I'll say a few 'Hail Marys: for you!
King Penn Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 woah, thats some harsh shiiiit with your step dad, you shouldn't worry though, you will win, he doesn't seem to have much going on in his favour and don't worry about the court thing, you'll do fine, just relax, there's nothing to worry about, I've been to quite a few court hearings myself, once with moe!
Hinata Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 [COLOR=blue] All I can tell you is good luck b/c you Step-f just wants to hurt you all by getting custody and that's it....But I hope the courts don't let him!!! And trust me I know what you're kinde going through because my b/f may go through something like that very soon and I plan on keeping his back..but its odd the opposite is going on!!!! But good luck anyways!!!![/COLOR]
Duo Maxwell Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 I wish you luck, and hope your brother will stay with you. my step grandad is sorta going through the same thing except he's the one his family want custody over, they say something about him being too old to look after himself and stuff but all they want is his money so were all telling mum to get custody over him coz they're good friends.
Sara Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 [FONT=century gothic]Hey, you know we're behind you 300%. I'll be praying for you. Best, Cera[/FONT]
Treble Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 I hope you and your brother will be together, brothers for life.I've never been to court myself so I'll be nervous too anyways best of luck Flash.;)

Pastbyer Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 [color=indigo]Well I've never been to court before so I don't know what it's like. But I don't think your step-dad will win 'cause he made the mistake of lying. So... Good luck and try to get some sleep![/color]
Justin Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 Good luck. I doubt very much that your step-dad will get the boy. It doesn't seem as though he has much to back him up. Oh, and in court, be sure to make the man look like the idiot he is. -Justin
conpiracymonki Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 [b]If I said I know what you're going through, I'd be lying. But you know we're behind you. *Decides on the mafia plan* [size=1]Inside Joke, people[/size][/b]
Flash Posted January 24, 2002 Author Posted January 24, 2002 Well, now my 'step-father', or as we prefer to refer to him around here, 'The pile of sh*t', or 'The senile old bastard', is now trying to get $10k off of my Mum as well... ...But every cloud has a silver lining. We're counter-sueing... Or whatever the hell it's called... Anyway, leave the bum pennyless, that's what I say... Another good thing is that my mother has; 2 Lawyer friends, another Lawyer friend who specialises in Child custody, a friend in Child support, and a friend in social/family welfare!! The old git is screwed!! Praise the lord, and pass the ammunition! -Flash
Sephiroth Posted January 24, 2002 Posted January 24, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Final_Flash [/i] [B] Praise the lord, and pass the ammunition! -Flash [/B][/QUOTE] thaats gonna cost ya, lol.... glad to see your mother has such good contacts, he's definately screwed now, heh....
k9* Posted January 24, 2002 Posted January 24, 2002 he's six feet down and just keeps on digging, doesn't he? :smirk: take every thing he has, he's just trying to hurt you guys, therefore, let the justice system come down hard on him. :D
Dragonballzman Posted January 24, 2002 Posted January 24, 2002 Well Flash, I've never been in a sutuation like yours before, but I can tell that with all your mums friends your S-F is as good as screwed. :) And Seph, I bet I can beat your score on GTA3! Although I'll have to play it round my mates (My dad moved out in Nov and took half of our money so we're a little low on cash right now! *Sigh* By the time I get a PS2, PS3'll be out! :D)

[/B][/QUOTE] I totally agree with you Seph. God Luck Flash. Its not your fault, trust me its not. Dont think it is.
Guest Zeh Posted January 24, 2002 Posted January 24, 2002 [COLOR=red]*sigh* i remember similar things happening between my mum and my "father". Don't worry. trust me, you'll be fine. I've had to go to court on sevral occasions. It's nothing much... just stick with the truth. There's almost no way you can lose... even if it does take five years. [/COLOR]
Silo Posted January 25, 2002 Posted January 25, 2002 I know how you feel, man. I've been in this situation before,so I know how it gets. I wish you the best of luck.
