Prayer Request, please

[Deleted]

Okay this is not ferret related but I am asking for prayers for us tomorrow in court. I am true believer in the power of prayer and we need all the prayers we can get. Tomorrow is the BIG day that I have been waiting on for 2 years now. I have been fighting my exhusband for back child support and a increase in child support, plus he has NEVER paid one penny for these boys medical, prescriptions, or dental in the last 12 years. He basically does not acknowledge they exist unless he wants something. Sadly he has been driving poor Andrew (my oldest son) crazy with questions about the court date, telling him that I have kept money from him, just ugly stuff. Of course my son does not believe him and asked me to write his dad a letter to ask him to leave him a lone. Nathan has not been acknowledge in for the past 3 birthdays and he didnt him acknowledge them at Christmas. It just breaks my heart what he has put these boys through. His love for money is more important then they are.
I go to my attorney's office at 1:30 today to watch a video and be coached. I found out yesterday I was going to be put on the stand. I guess I am totally dumb to this whole thing because I had no clue this would happen. So needless to say I am a nervous wreak. I dont want to mess anything up, yet I am glad that I have a chance to be a voice for the boys. I am hoping the judge sees that I am just a mother that loves her boys dearly and wants their dad to take responsibility for them, to help them have a future. They need his help and they only that will happen is if the judge enforces it. I wish it never would have come to this and I put if off for so long, I did not want conflict and the boys be in the middle of a nasty battle but he has left me no choice. That is part of being a mother is protecting your kids and taking care of them, that should be part of a father too, but there is a lot of men out there that dont see it that way.
I have said many prayers that the judge will rule in our favor and grant us what we are asking for, now its God's hands.

Also on a lighter note, Bear's meds came today, I thought yesterday but they came today so he goes in for his ouchie at 4:00.

Good luck to you in court!! Hope that another dead beat dad gets whats coming to him . . . or should I say what's coming from him!!!!! My daughters ex is a dead beat dad and it just burns my butt when I hear that he's gone to an NFL game or Disney or something like that. That money should be going to the kids. So good luck and I hope you get what he owes you and your kids!!!

Best of luck tomorrow, its a hard thing to do but you have to for your childrens sake.
Where we are they arent given a choice, they pay child support or else, its taken from their checks before they get them at work and its updated periodically to see if they are paying enough.

My Dauger frist Husband is a dead beat also she had a daughter with him and she's know 13 years the courts are trying to fine him and then hubby #2 is also a dead beat he is father to Franky 8 and Joey 6 , them boys hear lies all time were he'll say he'll come over to get them never does , he will even get money from Sharon for gas but never shows , he dont pay a dime for the boys , and Sharon asked for help for school clothes he pulls such a hissy fit ,I tell her to take him to court ..

All my prayers are with you tomorrow. I hope the judge will be fair, and that you will win your battle.
It is really easy for men to make children..... ..... ..... but at the end, almost the time, we ...moms... are taken care of our children and try to protect them with the poor power we have.
Good luck Julie
Sending plenty Love to you and Courage

Thank you all, Today was so nerve raking being coached. I broke down and cried. I dont want to do anything wrong. This is all for my boys and I am so protected over them and so hurt on how their dad has treated them its hard not to get emotional. Plus he has a women attorney that is a lough mouth and nasty.
Robin, I hope your daughter takes them to court before its to late. I avoided court for a long time because I did not want conflict and did not want a big battle with the kids in the middle. I tried to keep this peaceful but I kick myself in the hiney for waiting as long as I did.
I think I will go to bed early and hopefully sleep and I will post an update tomorrow. Thank you all for the kind words and prayers, they mean so much

Julie, you are in my prayers. I had to take my youngest dad to court too so I know what you are going throw. Her dad disowned her right there. He said I don't know these people. I wanted to kill him right then and there. Men are such jurks. My oldest one daugher's dad never did pay nothen. He never came around only when he wanted something. I stoped giveing it too him. . He does go see her and the grandkids once in a while. He is a jurk too. I just think all men are A_ _ holes., So I will be praying that you get what is comeing to you and those kids. Power and prays to you. love and God bless, Sheila
