And what chance did you give him to do so? Who canceled the support filing? You didn't provide contact info except for email and a defunct PO box. I'm sorry - you don't have much to complain about, IMO.

ITA. OP apparently made no effort to inform the court of her move (or keep the other dude apprised of her address) or attempt to move jurisdiction to CA. Only now that the father has actually been adjudicated as the legal father is there a concern. Well.... too bad. Was he a great choice as a...

O Right, uh huh. Phht.

I'm still trying to work out why the Social Worker would approach OP about Social Worker's son...

I doubt you could.

Oh FFS. Pardon me while I go bash my head against a wall.

Woman to woman, and Mother to apparently younger woman... (and yes I would say this to my own)... Set your bar a tad higher. If he is as great of a catch as you are? He will not only wait, but he will be worth waiting for. He will woo you, he will court you. I know it's not like it was "back in...

Cue up The Burning Bed...

So... it could spur a person with a predisposition to a certain illness (be it diabetes, COPD, heart failure, etc) to develop it sooner? Shocking. Just... shocking. Only to those who don't really understand... science. Articles like this are written to induce a certain reaction.

Oh yes, The Look. I, too, had it.

Figured you couldn't respond.

So excellent with strong language, @army judge ... Still waiting for a response on the following thread.... Another FL Beast Murders Kind Woman, Buries Body in Her Septic Tank!

People who know people are excellent sources. Realtors, doctors, dentists, vets - mechanics, handymen are also excellent. I prefer to stay away from family, friends, coworkers - they don't need to know my business.

Not for long, hopefully!

While I agree - it will be investigated, as it should be.

THIS! Behavior that is "naughty" (and lets face it - often cute) at 2/3/4 is not so much at 12/13/14 >oops I don't claim to be a perfect parent - none of us are - but I did start setting expectations early on. A big one was - do not embarrass yourself or me in public. Need to let your hair down...

It has always seemed to me that 14/13/12 is too late to start parenting. I'm not necessarily anti-spanking, but I don't think it's the most effective method of discipline.

Still irrelevant. You could say the same of anyone performing violent acts. "Judge" Joe is a *former* judge. Also irrelevant.

Very often, when parents split, one or the other - sometimes both - step back from actual parenting. Poor grades, bad behavior are excused - sometimes inadvertently encouraged. The parent creates the "monster", as it were. Then, when a partner is brought into the mix, said parent has their eyes...

Well, you're going to have to jump through the hoops, I'm afraid. Frankly, even "trying" to spank a 14yo is going to raise red flags for social services. It's just not an appropriate form of punishment, tbh. So many questions in my mind - where is Mom? How long has Dad had custody? What sort of...
