Hey
@tiggerrts , some of us were denied access to our children, not
through court order, but distance. My first wife took my daughter and got on a plane to England (she was a Brit, but my daughter was a dual national). They left Oregon, supposedly to just go see her younger brother get married and never came back. I wrote, often, but all my letters were returned to sender (I knew exactly where they were). She filed for divorce and I didn't even know anything was wrong, but the divorce papers were full of lies. She called and said to just sign the damn thing and get it over with because she wasn't coming back and she had already filed a request to have me arrested if I came there to try to take my daughter. Then they moved to Germany and I never heard a word until one day, 25 years later, the phone rang. My daughter had found me on the internet and took a chance that I was not the horrible person her mother had made me out to be. She came here to visit in 2004 and discovered I was OK after all and everything she had been told was not true. We have been writing back and forth ever since. They left when she was 8. She'll be 45 next week. Look at all I missed out on because her mother was a major
. Marriage and divorce is a two-way street and either side can be the butthead. Then again, my second wife and I (no children) are good friends. We like each other; we just couldn't live together. Had there been children from that one, the kids would have no problems because we would just be a couple that didn't live in the same house. Next door, maybe, but not under the same roof (or her writing checks on my account).
You
will work this out, but it might take more time than you are currently willing to accept.
