Pregnancy Info HOME

I'm not a 'single mom' so to speak, I'm married and expecting my second child and just want to vent about my daughter's 'father'. I've been with my husband since I was 5 months pregnant with her so he's been there from even before day 1. She's almost four and her 'father' has seen her less than a handful of times, calls once or twice a year, anytime I speak with him all he does is fuss at me and talking about his 'lawyer' told him this and his 'lawyer' told him that and he doesn't even bother to ask about how she's doing, what she likes, her personality. It's just to pick at me and it p___ses me off because I do everything for her and always have. His newest thing is claiming her illegally on his taxes. Again 'his lawyer' told him he could claim her because in our child support agreement it says he paid 71% of her support. The whopping $300 he was ordered to pay was when I worked part time because I was going to school and I still lived at home and had no expenses such as daycare, rent/mortgage, utilities, etc. I always could have taken him back to court but I honestly don't want more of his money because I do quite well on my own. He seems to think because that court order for child support says he pays more than half her support that he can claim her, no matter how much of a small percentage that amount really is. It truely doesn't matter, he could pay $100,000 a year in child support and still isn't allowed to claim her legally because she didn't live with him for more than half the year. Hell, he didn't even see her ONE DAY out of the year. I'm the custodial parent and he isn't allowed to claim her because of that unless I sign a form and he attatches it to his taxes. If he claims her before I'm able to file, her social security number will be blocked and we will have to paper file and flag him for tax fraud, then wait while it's investigated. It's just a pain in my ass because he doesn't care about her, does nothing for her, and is just looking for a way to get his child support back.
