Yes, that quote. You don’t owe me anything, but you are certainly making public statements that are quite questionable.

If you didn’t take it to court, then your ex must have. Custody is a civil matter, and courts don’t create their own cases.
If you had no input, then you didn’t raise a defense. No testimony, no response to his pleadings. Nothing from you.

So you’re suggesting your ex sued you, went to court, you didn’t have any input, and… the Judge decided the best thing for the children was to cut them off from their own father? I find that implausible.

Re: Texas child support, I guess they simply aren’t one of the “most states” who consider both parents’ income. No conflict or contradiction in that statement. My statement that it is determined according to the state where the lawsuit is filed is also 100% correct. There is no national law to set child support amounts. What’s your point?

“Reviewable” does not mean you will get it changed. It means you can get the court to review it to determine whether they find it necessary to order a change or not. You’re talking now about getting the number changed; I said you could get the court to review it. (Also, I said “reviewable”, not “renewable”.) What’s your point? That you wanted to change it but the court, on review, found it was reasonable? That’s no contradiction to what I said. That you looked into going back to court but were advised not to bother? Again, no contradiction to what I said.

You seem to be suggesting that the terms you used did not have the meanings I understood them to have. Please explain to me how “custody” (as you use the term) is different from “legal custody,” and how “access” (as you use the term) is different from “physical custody”? Or, if you’re not trying to draw any distinction, what you find misleading about my statement?

I hope that kids can reunite with their parents after they age out of the court system; I think it’s better for the children to have good relations with their own parents, all their lives. I also hope children with real financial need are not prevented from attending college because the money went instead to a child who is simply estranged from his/her father.

The situations you allude to are all too commonly experienced, unfortunately.
