@‌ FCCDAD,

The fact that you, personally, question my statements does not render them “questionable.” Perhaps you don’t have the experience or wisdom to know of possibilities beyond your limited view. Questionable is kind of an accusatory and derogatory term. In fact, your first post on this thread came across as a bit accusatory to me. I see that my initial read was on the mark.

My point regarding the “REVIEWABLE” child support (excuse me) was merely to explain that even though child support may be technically “reviewable,” does not mean that it will be worth one’s time or money to review, particularly if one has agreed to a mediated settlement as opposed to having the court assign an amount. No, a court did not review my own child support amount and deem it to be reasonable. I did not go back to court. More incorrect assumptions.

I didn’t find anything misleading in your statement regarding access and custody. Why did you think I found it misleading? You seemed to be attempting to educate me as to what my family’s arrangements were properly (“generally”) called. And I wanted to state that I was identifying our personal arrangements by their proper names the first time.

If you are addressing me in saying that you hope my kids can reunite with their father because “it’s better for the children to have good relations with their own parents, all their lives,” then I am left to believe that you are very misinformed on at least three counts. One, courts do not remove access willy nilly. Particularly in parochial Texas. Chances are good that the train for “good relations” left the station long ago, unfortunately. Two, you may need a refresher course on what’s really good for children’s emotional and physical health. Three, you are aware, aren’t you, that you know next to nothing about my children or their parents or their circumstances? It’s very far-fetched and presumptuous to think that you might possibly know what’s best for my kids or anybody else’s.

It’s odd that you should say that “the situations I allude to are all too commonly experienced.” I did not go back and re-read to be sure, but I was left with the impression that most, if not all, of the people who commented on my kids’ ability to get their NCP waivers said that our circumstances were unusual and that the unique aspects of our situation explained why my kids were granted their waivers despite the presence of child support.

Are kids ever “simply” estranged from their fathers, btw? And if they are, might they have some financial need after all?

I am left with the impression that you are projecting some of your own problems onto me and that it’s very important for you to be right. I didn’t do anything to you, and you know so little of who I am or what I represent. I merely posted our circumstance with the thought that others might learn from our experience. Believe what I said or don’t. But I hope you’ll stop your bullying in any case. We’re strangers, remember?
