Hello all,
Thanks to your tips and words of advice. What you gave me helps clear my head and calm me down. My wife and I are now divorced. The shocking part is I defaulted and what she did was signed my divorce paper. I told this to my lawyer, and I don't know what's going to happen. I don't want to get her in trouble.
She doesn't want me to see my daughter much, and all I want is to see my daughter more. I am now seeing my daughter at her parents' place.
She ignores me when I asked about my daughter's medical condition, which I'm worried. My daughter has a serious reaction to certain food, which makes the skin on her face extremely red rash. She doesn't return my phone calls when I call to ask about my daughter's condition. I know she ignores me on purpose.
2 week ago, while I was working, I received a phone call from her. I was in the middle of work, so I didn't pick it up. I thought, strange, why would she call me? 30 seconds later, she called again, I picked up. "You need to meet with me. I'm doing passport for our daughter," she said. She sounded urgent. I thought, why is she making passport for our daughter? So I asked. "I'm going on a vacation," she said.
Me: "Where?"
Her: "Canada"
Me: "Where in Canada? How long?"
Her: "Why do you have to interview me? Do I have to tell you which hotel I'm staying too?" She was yelling by this point. Mad.
Me: "If you're taking my daughter with you, I have the right to know where she's at."
Her: "**** you!" She hung up.
I thought she might have planned to take my daughter out of the country and not come back. I got scared because she never goes on vacation, and now she's doing it. Then, I went on internet to do research. I learned that the state department will not grant passport, unless both parents are present. I felt better, relieved.
My lawyer has to reopen the case to settle child support and child custody and visitation. I found that the document filed has recent gotten to court recently. She will soon receive letter from the court. When she called me about the passport, she didn't know yet I was working with a lawyer.
My lawyer said, I will first be appearing in front of a mediator to resolve our issues.
I would hope that the fact she forged my signature will damage her credibility to the mediator and the judge.
Any suggestions or advice?
