Home Away from Home: Court
Going back to court this morning. I mentioned court to someone yesterday and they said, "Oh my gosh! I thought that you were done with all of that?". Technically, yes. The divorce is final (finally!) however, I don't know that my court battles will ever end.Over the past few days, I've debated whether or not to even go this morning? It is for child support (lack of) and it is a date that he added to the court calendar. He's paid over $16,000 for rent on his luxury condo in the past eight months yet less than $1,500 in child support. Great priorities, right? The current balance sits somewhere near $28,000 in arrears.I struggle with my feelings on the money aspect of this fight. The money is supposed to be for my daughters. As a result of the non-payment, they go without many things. He holds it over my head-- claims that I fight for custody to get more money. To him, it's all about the money. We will make it regardless of whether or not he pays but the bottom line is that his daughters suffer when he withholds money in an effort to "win".###One Mom's Battle: Our mission at One Mom’s Battle is to increase awareness of Cluster B personality disorders (Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Antisocial Personality Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder) and their impact upon shared parenting and the Family Court System which includes Judges, CPS workers, Guardian ad Litems (GAL), Parenting Coordinators (PC), Custody Evaluators, therapists and attorneys. Education on Cluster B disorders will allow these professionals to truly act in the best interest of the children.History of One Mom's Battle: In 2009, One Mom’s Battle began with one mother, (Tina Swithin), navigating the choppy waters of a high-conflict divorce in the Family Court System. Since then, it has turned into a grassroots movement reaching the far corners of the Earth. Tina's battle spanned from 2009 - 2014 during which time she acted as her own attorney. Ultimately, Tina was successful in protecting her daughters and her family has enjoyed complete peace since October 2014 when a Family Court commissioner called her ex-husband a "sociopath" and revoked his parenting time in a final custody order.Tina Swithin: Divorcing a narcissist? Tina Swithin's books are available online at Amazon (print, Kindle or audio format). Each year, Tina offers life-changing weekends of camaraderie and healing at the Lemonade Power Retreat. Tina also offers one-on-one coaching services and a private, secure forum called, The Lemonade Club, for those enduring high-conflict custody battles. [wp_ad_camp_1]
