All my worry about whether we were doing the right thing. And just as my husband is getting settled into work for the day, he is served papers suing for custody support, the cost of a $20,000/yr experimental drug for the youngest child and all lawyers fees.
Apparently, the BM would like her ex husband to pay for the child that she has with her new husband and the ones that she plans to have in the future.
As for the drug, there is a potential for benefits but also some pretty big side effects. We have tried the drug for two years with no real improvement in the child. Because of this, the insurance company dropped coverage for it. My husband has spend hours on the phone trying to get the insurance coverage reinstated. Funny thing is, the BM says we are to blame - when she did not give the drug consistently when the child was in her care.
What a ridiculous situation. We do not have the money that she thinks we have. She won't coparent with my husband but yet we have 50% of custody and over 50% of expenses. She won't speak to him about the doctor's visits or the course of action with the health care. And she gets to make our lives miserable with her drama, going to the extremes instead of just trying to come to an agreement through coorespondance or filing with DSS for $25. She has to drag in high priced lawyers and court fees with a trumped up case that will go nowhere.
Oh, but she is the wounded one here. She has to slave and scrape by, taking care of the three children all by herself. And now, with a new husband and baby at her age, how can she be expected to support the two teens at home? So of course the only thing to do is sue her ex. He's living like a king. And holding it out on her.
Yeah, sorry - my empathy is out the window.
