The mother was only granted every other weekend due to abuse, neglect and drug convictions. The children and dad lived with dad's mother, where once he got a job he left the kids in the care of their paternal grandmother, who then allowed the mother to move in.

  • A girl was staying with me for 2 months and I never drafted a lease, she threatened the domain of my home as far as personal property is concerned and was completely insubordinate whether it be cleanliness, punctuality so on and so forth.

  • I have been separated from my ex for over 10 years. We tried to get a divorce in 2011 but because he lived in California and I lived in Atizona it got squashed.

He doesnt communicate with me or my son at all.
