If you don't know where she and your kids live, how are you able to send the child support payments?

If your XW is deliberately keeping you from court appointed visits with your kids then she is breaking the law and must be made accountable for her actions.

If you have proof positive that the OM has threatened you, then you must file a police report just in case something bad happens to you then they will have a prime suspect to go after.

This forum can provide you with emotional support but it is no substitute for sound legal counsel which is what you should be seeking if you want to establish regular contact with your children.

How in the world did you allow all of this? Please let me know, as I am unsure on how to advise. it appears by your post that you handed your kids over to the OM by not fighting for them.

The alimony and custody arrangement the court imposed is always subject to modification, especially when you were not there and not represented the last time.

Okay that explains it. I am not sure why you would do this, is what I was saying above...because what it meant is that you got better work, and the OM got your kids. I'm not trying to beat you up...just trying to understand your sitch and what you are trying to do now.

Let me ask a question. You may have answered this on a previous thread. But please indulge me...as I truly want to understand your situation.

First, your wife decided to have an affair and leave you. You decided to move away without your kids with you. Why? Why leave your kids with a woman who has shown that she isnt a good mother. A good mother doesnt commit adultery and leave their dad. Why did you not seek custody of the kids?

My second question is...for whatever reason that you left your kids with your wife and moved away...did you not suspect that she would/could end up with OM, thus leaving your kids with the OM as their key male adult in their daily lives?

EEMD, I say again...I am not beating you up here. But in order to figure out where you should go, I need to understand where and why you have been.

Gonna have to fight, my man. The past is the past. You need to take charge of the future.

First, you are going to have to get back close to your kids. Move as soon as possible. You re going to have to get back in their lives on a daily basis.

Now, I dont know anything about the OM. If there is anything in his background that might help (arrests, etc).

Water is under the bridge and he is now there. You may not be able to get him out of there for awile.

I would concentrate on getting into their day-to-day lives first. Then, doing a good Plan A type stuff with your XW. It will cause problems with them, which is always good. You two may never get back together. But you need to do these in order to solidiy things.

There is much more you can do. but until you get these started, they cant be started.
