Exactly.. trying to force Eric on her as her dad when her actual dad is alive and wanted to take her away to have her for his own private time with his kid without mom hovering! This mom is just literally so terrible man.
She initially promised that she was going to keep the bio-dad's parents, who the kid called Grammy and Poppy, involved. So the kid would've known she had a different dad. Unless she was lying about that, too.
As a retired military spouse, this soldier can not get off any holiday he wants or take vacation anytime he wants!! If his commander says you can't leave the area of more than 200 miles, then you can't drive 12 hours to see your kid!
@@jojobajajudge knows that. He even said he understood he has to answer to his commander and can’t come an go like regular civilians. This woman chose to marry/have child w a man in the military yet don’t understand what comes w that. Most relationships are through calls/videos and just a couple good weekend visits a yr. It takes reassurance to the child of where and why dad is away. Things like, Hes serving our country, he loves you and will see you as soon as he can, your the most important person in his life etc. and keeping pics and encouraging & supporting there relationship w the phone calls and it shouldn’t have had to go through gma! She wouldn’t let him get her the weekend of her bday or xmas 2016 just a few months after divorce when the child did know him/gma. It was mom that kept getting mad at the gma letting her talk to dad and showing her pics bc its “confusing her” only bc mom was erasing & replacing dad at home. Mom should have had pictures in her rm of dad and her and let him have the weekends that first yr where he could have more quality time instead of a quick 30m visit w mom right up under them making it uncomfortable then saying after 30m we gtg. She did everything to hinder the relationship they DID have by not allowing calls and longer visits(even if only twice yr) xmas he was hm a week. She should have spent entire week plenty of memories to be made in a week without school or wk. had that happened i see the next couple yrs would have went the same w a week at xmas an weekend on bday and calls every week or even more often and the relationship would be there today. All but for mom…
@@jojobajahow ridiculous!! I’m guessing you’ve never served in the military? Enlisted military and taught to obey orders at all times. Maybe he was following that mindset? I’m so tired of parents (men or women) using serving in the military as an excuse to forbid the military member access to their children. If you’re not willing to serve our country then shut up!!!🤬🤬
A little irritated with the judge, the judge made it sound like the father didn’t do enough as many people said on here in the military you do what you’re told to do and you’re told not to leave the area and you told you can only go 500 miles for a camp is all you can go and your cock going further than that and you’re in trouble you’re in ovation You’re the military is very very strict and I thought during the trial that the judge understood this because he said he understood and you haven’t been in the military families and stuff. I thought you were strict is better irritated with the fact makes it look like the father is partly full for not seeing his daughter. I think it’s 100% the mother‘s fault and I think it’s very obvious because she did to the previous father, and judge should’ve acknowledged that and why he didn’t. I don’t know because it was brought up during the trial. I don’t judge the mother too much leeway didn’t admonish her for her actions towards the father and the damage she doing your child
Why does the judge not see and hear that the mother lied and alienated the child from her father because she wants to have the husband be the dad. The sad part is as a child who didn’t have a dad she will always wonder why she wasn’t good enough. And she will find out he was not her dad. The siblings will one dad get mad and say it.
@@denisewilson9783I understand giving your client a strong defense, but so many of these defense attorneys act like it’s a blood sport when it’s so unnecessary. I guess it’s a certain personality or lack of humanity that attracts those types. I’ve seen effective, knowledgeable defense attorneys that don’t take that path, but they’re rare.
I am disappointed in the judge here for not reprimanding the mother on how she refused the grandmother to talk about the father and show pictures. They would have a relationship if she didn’t cut off the grandmother. She lied to her child. Disgusting behavior.
He can’t address mother’s behaviour because the motion is to deal with parental abandonment, termination and the adoption request. Dad would have to file a contempt motion and he can use this trial as evidence.
@@denisewilson9783 I Get what you’re saying, but the judge could have still referenced the parental alienation in his rulings. Either way I hope dad steps up and claim his time so the daughter can have a good relationship with her father.
@liset4081 he kind of did, the court reporter thought he was going there, her reaction was priceless and then he quickly said, I'm not saying this is what's going on here. He can't either since they didn't get evidence to show her denying parenting time
How naive of this Mother to believe her daughter wouldn't be upset to learn that her real father was ousted from her life so that Dad #2 could take over. Children grow up and make their own decisions. It may go your way, but prepare for it to go the biological father's way, ending up with her resenting you for destroying her relationship with her Dad.
If it goes moms way its bc she filled her head with he “didn’t want/care about you and the man you know as dad has always been there and that’s who matters” well at least for now, divorce is +50% an higher for people who already been divorced before in this country so who knows if they will stay together forever. Regardless if they do SHE has a dad that pays his cs, wants to be a dad and was military living 12hrs away. That’s a hard sacrifice for any family so for mom to make him feel bad for choosing to make that sacrifice before the child was born mom/dad made the decision to have her as a military child. Mom should encourage a good relationship and tell the daughter good things about dad and where/why he’s there. To make it like hes just off living his regular life not government owned is not right and alienating. She shouldn’t make it awkward for him/his family when visiting. He probably takes gma/them to help make it not as uncomfortable. I wouldnt want my ex breathing down my neck at visitation watching my every move and COUNTING how many words he said during the visit(regarding the “didnt say ten words”) it does make it uncomfortable. Give them space to have there visits.
My ex constantly bad mouthed me to my kids throughout my divorce for 2 years. He would cry, saying my kids need me. The only reason he wanted them is because he wanted our house. He ended up getting custody and did nothing for them after it was over. Now, as adults, they see who he really is and really don't have much to do with him.
I had to shred all my divorce and child support documents after I got a lawyers to legally terminate the child support agreements after the dad stopped paying. The government kept sending me ‘review of child support requests’ with a statement of outstanding arrears and they wanted answers because of government social security payments. Once the child support was terminated so too was the gov child allowance. I can’t imagine the pain that a video would cause. I see no reason for family court to be online.
🤦🏽♀️ I'm so exhausted w these type of mothers....it's not fair to the children. He was a soldier, served his country, that always causes separation. My dad was a pilot and always gone, but my mother made sure I knew who my dad was and made sure I saw him when he was home and had a relationship. She fostered it....that's what a good parent does!
Agreed! Thank you for your service!🙏She shouldn’t make him feel bad for his military duty. Its a hard sacrifice for families and mom/dad knew that and decided to have a child during his time in the military. Mom should be encouraging the relationship, telling her where/why hes there. Not making it like hes off living his regular life just choosing to not be there when he was government owned and 12hrs away. Plus having to do supervised visits at moms with her/hubby breathing down there neck and literally counting every word he said🙄her lawyer said “you didn’t say ten words and you brought your mom/dad&brother” well maybe they came so he felt more comfortable in a uncomfortable situation. He wants to see his child but not deal w her the entire time to do it examining and dissecting every thing he says or does. She is a piece of wk! Trying to cut dad out so new hubby can be dad bc he’s been away for military duty. My best friend was in the army for 8yrs and i rarely seen him. He came hm for Christmas and one time during may/june for a week. All his other days were too short to take such a long trip home or $$ was right bc he was in 2006-2014 un married no kids at that time was $1200/month tax/rent free bc he lived there.
It irks me that the mom tried to guilt him into signing over rights so the daughter could have a “normal” family like she deserves when her affairs (yes, plural) are the reason neither children have a “normal” family. I’m not sure I’m explaining myself very well. Does anyone else get what I’m trying to say?
I get you, and I 100% agree! It’s her actions that put her daughter in that situation, and her choice to marry a man divorce him, but then remarry him after marrying and having a child with another man. She just wants to erase that whole middle marriage, and pretend she never divorced her first husband and pretend all the kids are his. So disgusting of her to try to blame the biological father!
Obviously the Judge is not a Veteran. He would understand the responsibility you have as a member of the armed forces. The mother is Rediculous as hell.
She doesnt understand what her term on military days off are. There is a mileage limit of how far away you can travel on your days off. Military service is on call 24/7 unless you are on leave.
I’m willing to be she does know, remember the job is to represent who is paying, not tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. It sucks, some may say it’s immoral but it is her job.
Grandma 100% was doing the right thing trying to show pictures and talk about dad. My daughter, now 26, lost her dad to suicide when she was 5 months old. He was the kindest, sweetest man ive ever known. I kept pictures of him around and spoke about him often. Id tell her how he would feel about things going on in her life as she grew up. She's told me how she loved that i kept him alive in her mind and she feels like she grew up knowing him. A few years ago she posted about him on a local site in our town. She was flooded by people who knew him, old high school friends, etc, telling her what a great guy he was. My point is, i guess, that it is important to a child to know their parents whether they're absent or not. Grandma was trying to do that and she was right❤
I was so mad watching this case.. mom deliberately tried to cut Kenzley’s actual dad out of her life and tried to replace him with stepdad. Like, lady, you made her with him! Why are you trying to keep her from having anything to do with him?! And getting mad bc grandma is trying to show her that Eric isn’t her real dad! So not only did mom cut out her dad, but also her grandma and all of her other relatives! This kid is gonna need some counseling!
What about stopping the little girl from going to dancing lessons at grandma’s studio, the fun she had with her cousin on dad’s side. Cruel just a heartless, selfish mother. Why could the little one have fishing and dancing?
She's a little garden tool! She divorced and immediately after that married her now husband. Thats why she didnt want to answer! The nerve of her to alienate that child from her father especially when he was serving and providing for his family. She's gonna get tired of the current one and do the same thing.
@@Brit626I wonder if they’re trying to take custody of the husbands son? Or because he has the same last name they can pretend. But seriously, I’m curious why the dad’s attorney didn’t ask the stepdad how he’d feel if the mother of his son tried to do this? Or how he felt when the mom DID in fact move their older daughter away to Virginia? I’d also ask the dad if he had any standing orders on travel because yeah you do get holidays but you still can’t be more than a certain distance away- you have to request leave well in advance, it has to be approved AND it can be rescinded literally within hours. Not to mention, how was it not brought up that she left Virginia and took the child with her? She knew full well what she was doing, I’m guessing she was after benefits and to be a dependent but realized it’s not what it’s cracked up to be and left.
Omg the nerve of grandma to have her granddaughter try and talk to her dad! 🙄😏 I'm confused how this attorney cant see how frivolous this case is! Her client is ridiculous and both the lawyer and mom should be ashamed of themselves!!
@@aleahsimpson7373 But she’s sure as heck happy to take his money for the daughter and to terminate his contact with his daughter and Grandmother, thereby effectively terminating him as Dad. She wants her cake and to eat it too
@@tictactoe325 I mean she’s literally trying to terminate his right so he wouldn’t be paying which is the opposite of trying to have her cake and eat it too. If she was just withholding the child and taking support without trying to terminate his rights, then you would be correct. I’m not trying to defend her or anything. I’m just tired of the people act like all moms want is to take child support regardless of what’s actually happening in the case.
Sad situation. This mother basically wants to act like her daughters father does not exist and pretend that she never broke up with her first child's father. She wants to love a fairytale life and not reality.
What a disgusting mother. Makes such a mess of all of her kids lives by swapping husbands back & forth, having kids with both dads. She has caused the confusion- not dad. Her selfishness in alienating this child's father will come back to bite her in the ass. The internet never goes away. Her daughter will soon be old enough to search & find this herself. She will one day hate & resent her mother for hating her ex more than she cares about the best interest of her child.
This 4-month abandonment rule is nonsense. I know multiple families that parents live out of state and out of country and only spends summers with the other parent.
Some of my favorite relatives I only saw every few years on holidays except for birthday & Christmas cards, occasional weddings or funerals, and very short phone calls. I knew who they were without being afraid of them or having a picture up or talking about them. An uncle I only had that much contact with came up for a Christmas get-together, and TWO years later, my then 7 year old son picked his Great Uncle out of a crowd at the state fair and named him and his wife!
Wow his ex wife is horrible! I hope her current husband realizes that if they divorce and have a child she’ll put her new husband through the same thing
That fool married her twice...this is the second time they've been married because the older daughter is theirs together so he knows what he's getting into 😅😅
She already did it to him so it surprised me that he is ok with her doing it to this dad cuz he knows exactly how it feels. Shame on the mom AND the stepdad. Dad seems to be a very passive person but he needs to start being aggressive when it comes to him having a relationship with his daughter. Step it up, dad cuz this is prob your last chance to do things right. I knew Judge Wolfe would make the right decision, i have high respect for him.
He should already know. He married her and divorced before the current father. They got back together and remarried after this Father. He knows. I wouldn't be surprised if she did the same to him the first time and the lesser of the evils was to get back together with her to be able to raise her oldest which is his.
So why is it a surprise that the alleged father hasn't seen the child, when the parenting plan states that WHEN HE IS OUT OF THE MILITARY SERVICE HE WILL SEE THE CHILD.... ? So if he still was in service he has limitations on when and where he can see the child.
Yes it is utter bullshit if you ask me! The nerve of her now husband to think that it's ok to remove this man, the man that is away serving this country and she laid up cheating!! The grandmother is the next closest thing to her dad and if he's away why should or could not talk about her dad or show pictures of her dad.
This mother doesn't deserve to have custody. Her rights should be terminated - she has lied to this little girl about who she is. She is an awful human being!!
This judge is extremely good to see what is in the child’s best. I think after seeing the half of this video mom and step has no hope in this world. The real father will get visiting time to get to know his child and 8 months down the road with have 50/50.
My ex tried this exact same thing with me in 2000 before 9/11. I almost lost my parental rights because i didn't demand the Army send me back to the US from Germany. I finally got a lawyer to stop him but Tennessee didn't care i had no ability to come home to see my child. 😢
Judge Wolfe has the look, temperament and wisdom of who I vision a Judge should be like. He seems very thoughtful and listens to everything while appearing to consider all testimony. He should train other Judges who lacks all the above.
I don’t understand how mom could think it will benefit her daughter to terminate. I think children need all the loving people in their life possible. She has a loving grandmother and father, even if he isn’t seeing her more. Further if being of service to your country means courts rule against you, who will serve? Thanks to all those that are serving or have served.
The mother testified that she thinks another man is the child’s father, and that she is upset that people are confusing the child when they talk about or encourage a relationship with the actual father. No ma’am you confused her, you lie to your child.
Mom should look into getting a refund, her lawyer was horrible! Made her client (mom) look worse at every opportunity! Built her entire case on grandma asking the child to talk to her dad while he’s stationed away from home in the military! Fell out of my chair when the judge finally called her on it! 😂😂😂
Good call judge!!!! The child would have never thought anything different from only seeing her dad a couple times a year and talking to him on the phone unless the mom made an absolute show out of it! Which in turn only hurts the daughter! Should the father have done more, of course he should have! That would be between the father and daughter when she got older, but taking his rights completely away would have been between the mother and daughter as she got older!!! All this is is about control not about the daughter!!! Why any parent would ever put themselves in a position to be the one to take away your child's other parent without just cause is beyond me!!!
I have to say that the father’s mother is an amazing woman. She was well-spoken and composed during her time on the stand and really articulated the situation effectively. I’m not in the military and even I know that traveling while on time off is difficult. The child’s mother needs to grow up and deal with the situation appropriately.
Traveling round-trip standby on the busiest travel days of the year is impossible. He *may* have had a few holidays off, but that doesn't mean he could get halfway across the country. Gramma wasn't chasing her son down for visits, but phone visits during Gramma's short visit times were frictionless compared to that evil "mother"
This case makes me angry. Being a soldier isn’t like a regular job, you can’t just do what you want. Someone serving this country and wants a relationship with their child should not have their rights terminated because they aren’t available 24/7…
Any service men or women watching this.... be careful. Know your partner. You sacrifice so much. Dont let assholes like this woman take control of what becomes your heart and soul.
As an adopted child, I thank God they never lied to me about being adopted. I know people who were lied to about being adopted. It never ends well. It’s extremely painful for the child and puts a strain on the relationship that may never be mended. This mom was on the wrong track. She may not know it, but being forced to be honest will serve her well.
Military personnel unless they apply for leave and approved are not permitted by regulation depending on their posting must be able to return to their designated post/base/ship within a specific time period.
This child doesn’t know her father bcuz mom doesn’t want her to. Granted he needed to do better but I’m imagining he felt defeated. Grandma loves that child and mom didn’t want her alone once she could talk bcuz she knew grandma would talk about her dad
It’s so weird to me that the moms lawyer keeps asking grandma obnoxiously specific questions about the dad that she is super unlikely to know the answer to, like whether he submitted his phone records with the court, or speculate on why he might have done something. I thought they were only supposed to ask questions about things that the witness has personal knowledge of? Why isn’t his lawyer objecting?
There's no need to object because the questions were stupid and made her look stupid! He just allowed her to hang herself w/the questions that she asked.
Ya asking her about why she didn’t submit her phone records or pics w time stamps. Like she is a lawyer she knows they ask the parent to submit their evidence not the families documents. Gma said if she knew she would have. That lawyer didn’t give any good defense for the parental alienation mom was exhibiting heavily to gma about dad. Just asking stupid questions like that
The judicial law clerk is annoying. She can't sit still and is either digging around in her bag or texting. She should not be shown as she is very distracting.
I agree! Her facial expressions are really unprofessional all the while knowing she’s on the close up big screen!! Fluffing her hair, rolling her eyes, sneaking overly dramatic looks at the Judge…I even think she thinks people are probably having all the same ‘appalled’ reactions as her & mentally patting herself on the back. I’m embarrassed for her!! Judge…move your mic or your writing pad away from it please!? 🙆🏽♀️
Why do these women do this 💩 as a mother, both my sons Dad was deadbeat. However they could visit him whenever they wanted, I never stopped them having a relationship. They’re now in their late 20s and mid 30s and don’t have anything to do with him. They saw how he was themselves when they got old enough and made that decision for themselves. Let children make their own choices as long as they’re not put in any danger. It honestly really angers me when I see women like this! 🤬
I did exactly the same!! As grown adults, my kiddos formed their own opinion…..ironically it’s the same as mine! The solace, I have in my heart, is I NEVER subjected my kiddos to my opinions or dislikes about their other parent, they made their own mind up and formed their own opinion!
I agree with every word, the damage a dead beat dad inflicts on their kids makes it so hard cause you are powerless to protect them from pain. I guarantee that we’ve have had to hold our children while they’ve cried asking ‘ why doesn’t he love me?’ How can you ever explain the unexplainable.
@@CheysMama15I mean, to be fair, dad's hands are kind of tied because he was in the military, and could only move so far. It sucks, but he couldn't do much I don't think.
Please he is usually on the mother’s side in this case the law forced him to make this ruling. He said nothing about mother annihilating the father or grandmother now did he?
This case made me absolutely sick to my stomach. This lady sees nothing wrong with what she’s doing/done to her own child, her child’s FATHER and his entire family. She should be ashamed of herself! I dunno who tf she thinks she is but she’s very confused about the power she thinks she holds. If she would’ve rather had the kid with the guy she was cheating with, she absolutely had control over that choice!! However, you don’t get to make the choice she made then try to play god afterward and completely eff her daughter’s life up. Instead of spending all his child and spousal support on fishing with fake dad and saving for her college fund, her and fake dad should save for a hefty therapy fund for this poor little girl when she finds out her mother is a disgusting puppet master and chose to deceive her daughter for her whole entire life. Her attorney’s voice and attitude make me want to punch something…she treats every soldier dad this exact same way in every one of her cases I’ve seen and it’s so gross to watch, but especially to hear. The fake Dad going along with this charade tells you exactly what type of man he is. They should also find a new church because whichever one they’re attending isn’t spending enough time on MORALS!
I like how the judge gave the dad advice on what the dad should do moving forward. Hopefully, his lawyer will tell him more about his rights, too. I don’t think he wanted to make waves, but the law sees that as suspect, not being polite. He should have requested the courts force mom to answer the phone whenever he got the opportunity to call, but unfortunately it sounds like they split up before his daughter could talk. Very unfortunate timing for dad since he had to go out of state. Judge should have came down hard on mom for making it even more difficult for dad, but perhaps he didn’t because he knew she was going to lose.
The MOTHER interfered/denied the visitation & communication with his child & failed to foster a positive relationship with & between child & father! Military service also interferes with the father's free will in visiting with his child!
I realize it’s a strategy but is it really helpful to act like the grandmother is doing something abnormal by attempting to facilitate phone contact with the dad and child? I thinks it’s disgusting that mom and her lawyer are trying to use it as a strategy, imo it reflects worse on mom’s case. Trying to deflect from mom’s poor choices, I guess. Also , it doesn’t help to force the belief that stepdad is her real dad. Someday her daughter will realize mom’s agenda in pushing that false narrative benefitted mom only. I don’t believe for a second that mom actually thinks she’s protecting her child, she’s fully aware she’s protecting herself and possibly her current relationship. What happens when mom moves on again??
I’d be interested to know if the stepson has a relationship with his bio mother this is so cruel they are very spiteful I also wonder if the husband would like to be cut out of his sons life seems only fair
He’s paying child support and has a relationship with the child (not close but still). There was no way the judge was going to dissolve his parental rights.
Sorry, I blame the child's mother for not making sure the child has a relationship with the father. It's not easy being in the military and when it's a divorce situation where the child is in a completely different state (or country) from where the service member is stationed, it can be difficult to visit as often as they would like. I served in the military and as the mother of a Marine myself, I know very well that they can't just drive however far they want just because they have a holiday off. They can only go so far from the base (depending on the base, at most 450 miles if it is a 72, which is a 3 day weekend). They can have a 3 day weekend, yet one of those days have duty which screws up any attempt to go home. Depending on their MOS, they could be out in the field training (generally not allowed their phones depending on what they are doing). I could easily go weeks without hearing from my son due to training (he was a 0352). Although there are legal services on base, something like this they will say to hire a civilian attorney which costs money. The military doesn't pay much if you are E-4 and below. They make up for the pay with the benefits. You get 3 hots and a cot and free healthcare. We were blessed that I lived within 250 miles from the base and he was able to come home on the weekends unless he was on duty or deployed (I would occasionally make a weekend trip to visit him). The judge made the right call. I wish this young man well and hope he is able to establish a good relationship with his daughter. He should try to video chat with her every day, if possible and plan leave accordingly. Hopefully, the mother won't interfere and allow this. Considering she cheated, the least she could do is ensure her daughter has a relationship with her father. The two men should establish a relationship as well. They both love this child, it is in her best interest for the adults to act like adults.
I’m sad for the child the father deserves a connection this is a huge problem with courts they don’t recognize the corruption of our judiciary system and it blocks the family connection through child support this has been happening since boarding schools kidnapping indigenous children!!!!!!
You don’t want him to be a father how many times you sent that child support back since your new husband wanted to adopt her and you did refuse him ample time to visit when he did come around
He needs to go for joint custody now. That witch will regret starting this circus once he does that Wait how does the judge agree that the witch was justified to bring this to court ?!?!
She offered to stop support if dad agreed but it sounds like it's not about the money dad has always paid and has no problem paying even when he barely sees her. I see the moms side but she had the child with him she is dead wrong trying to take her away.
Mothers like this piece of work make me so mad and sick and the worst part is that she did this same thing to the first father as well. I think the new man had a lot to do with this racket. I could be wrong but I do think they both had part in that.
I have to question the morals of two people that would willingly try to terminate rights of a father that isn’t unsafe to be around and that wants to be in his child’s life. She wants to act like that how other marriage didn’t happen. You sleep around that’s what happens.
They need a vositation schedule where the father does not have to "ask" the mom/step dad for permission to spend time with his daughter. They should not have a choice.
A good mother would show their child pictures of their father as they are growing up and would tell the child good things about their father, Same for if a woman is in the military and dad is at home. A good parent would never lie to their young child about who their other parent is, regardless. It is the right thing to do for that child.
If a biological father is alive and wants to see his child, this should not be hard. This mother started all this mess because of lust, and now she's trying to eliminate the father completely. I feel so many men get the shaft just because the wives want them out of their life. It's their own flesh and blood. I really respect this judge but can't understand why this is so hard when the mother made the father and his mother very unwelcome.
Shame on the mother for cutting the grandmother out of her granddaughter's life. She should have been encouraging the family rel and bringing her over for visits and weekend visits..
So Mom has effectively discouraged a relationship with her Daddy, she has encouraged this poor baby to see her husband as her father. Now she wants to benefit from the circumstances she created to deprive him of a parenting relationship with HIS child. Glad the judge declined the petition and gave this father a wake up call to be a Dad. Hope he steps up, and Mom encourages the relationship - a child needs both parents.
this really pisses me off. What right does the mother think that she has all the right to keep the child from the father. He's away in another state working in the military and has limited time for leave. This off course would make it difficult for contact. She should be encouraging the child to have contact with the father but shes in another relationship so both of them are probably in the childs ear. The father needs to try to have more contact and keep records of every time he tries to call or text. I believe the mother is trying to keep the child from him and his mother beause of the new relationship. Lady you have no right to do this. You both made the child and you should allow hi to see her because if you don't it will come back and give you Karma later in life when she wants contact with him because it will happen. What ever you do don't lie to the child.
I think the judge here knows what is most likely going on but couldnt say because no evidence was given by defense. I think he did a great job to mention other cases and a deep explanation to hopefully prevent an appeal or for the mother to try again in another court.
Mom saying the child doesn't want to talk to him or see him, but that's because mom is cut him out of her life and made her believe that only her husband is the child's father.
Mom is absolutely to blame for any confusion or discomfort Kinsley may feel because SHE LIED to this child all along. 🤬
Exactly.. trying to force Eric on her as her dad when her actual dad is alive and wanted to take her away to have her for his own private time with his kid without mom hovering! This mom is just literally so terrible man.
It also seems like the same way she did to the father of her first child which is now who she is back with.
She initially promised that she was going to keep the bio-dad's parents, who the kid called Grammy and Poppy, involved. So the kid would've known she had a different dad. Unless she was lying about that, too.
This is the perfect example of why not everyone can mother children. These kids will have 15 dads by the time this “mother” is 60.
Why doesn’t the attorney just hop up on the stand and testify for this girl? Save herself from asking and answering her own questions herself.
As a retired military spouse, this soldier can not get off any holiday he wants or take vacation anytime he wants!!
If his commander says you can't leave the area of more than 200 miles, then you can't drive 12 hours to see your kid!
Why didn't he tell the judge?
@@jojobajajudge knows that. He even said he understood he has to answer to his commander and can’t come an go like regular civilians. This woman chose to marry/have child w a man in the military yet don’t understand what comes w that. Most relationships are through calls/videos and just a couple good weekend visits a yr. It takes reassurance to the child of where and why dad is away. Things like, Hes serving our country, he loves you and will see you as soon as he can, your the most important person in his life etc. and keeping pics and encouraging & supporting there relationship w the phone calls and it shouldn’t have had to go through gma! She wouldn’t let him get her the weekend of her bday or xmas 2016 just a few months after divorce when the child did know him/gma. It was mom that kept getting mad at the gma letting her talk to dad and showing her pics bc its “confusing her” only bc mom was erasing & replacing dad at home. Mom should have had pictures in her rm of dad and her and let him have the weekends that first yr where he could have more quality time instead of a quick 30m visit w mom right up under them making it uncomfortable then saying after 30m we gtg. She did everything to hinder the relationship they DID have by not allowing calls and longer visits(even if only twice yr) xmas he was hm a week. She should have spent entire week plenty of memories to be made in a week without school or wk. had that happened i see the next couple yrs would have went the same w a week at xmas an weekend on bday and calls every week or even more often and the relationship would be there today. All but for mom…
@@jojobajahow ridiculous!! I’m guessing you’ve never served in the military? Enlisted military and taught to obey orders at all times. Maybe he was following that mindset? I’m so tired of parents (men or women) using serving in the military as an excuse to forbid the military member access to their children. If you’re not willing to serve our country then shut up!!!🤬🤬
@@kimberlylozano2881Yep. The uniform is romanticized by women, they married the uniform
A little irritated with the judge, the judge made it sound like the father didn’t do enough as many people said on here in the military you do what you’re told to do and you’re told not to leave the area and you told you can only go 500 miles for a camp is all you can go and your cock going further than that and you’re in trouble you’re in ovation You’re the military is very very strict and I thought during the trial that the judge understood this because he said he understood and you haven’t been in the military families and stuff. I thought you were strict is better irritated with the fact makes it look like the father is partly full for not seeing his daughter. I think it’s 100% the mother‘s fault and I think it’s very obvious because she did to the previous father, and judge should’ve acknowledged that and why he didn’t. I don’t know because it was brought up during the trial. I don’t judge the mother too much leeway didn’t admonish her for her actions towards the father and the damage she doing your child
The Judicial Law Clerk's expressions are killing me. Her faces are hilarious! 🤣😂🤣😂
Wonder why she has to sit through all of this?
She needs to sit still.
Why does the judge not see and hear that the mother lied and alienated the child from her father because she wants to have the husband be the dad. The sad part is as a child who didn’t have a dad she will always wonder why she wasn’t good enough. And she will find out he was not her dad. The siblings will one dad get mad and say it.
There are ZERO grounds to terminate the father's rights!!! It is crazy that this case even got this far!!!
The mother trying to control the relationships her daughter has with the child’s father and his family is disgusting.
This female attorney’s voice grates my nerves. She is annoying.
Fingernails on a chalkboard
Plus she is way too old to be dressed as she is. Ankle boots and a short skirt, doesn't look professional.
She was aggressive with the ex MIL and there was no need to be nasty. MIL was awesome on the stand, didn’t let the lawyer railroad her.
@@denisewilson9783I understand giving your client a strong defense, but so many of these defense attorneys act like it’s a blood sport when it’s so unnecessary. I guess it’s a certain personality or lack of humanity that attracts those types. I’ve seen effective, knowledgeable defense attorneys that don’t take that path, but they’re rare.
@@ppw2393 I'm surprised that judges respond well to that kind of litigating.
I am disappointed in the judge here for not reprimanding the mother on how she refused the grandmother to talk about the father and show pictures. They would have a relationship if she didn’t cut off the grandmother. She lied to her child. Disgusting behavior.
He can’t address mother’s behaviour because the motion is to deal with parental abandonment, termination and the adoption request. Dad would have to file a contempt motion and he can use this trial as evidence.
@@denisewilson9783 I Get what you’re saying, but the judge could have still referenced the parental alienation in his rulings. Either way I hope dad steps up and claim his time so the daughter can have a good relationship with her father.
@liset4081 he kind of did, the court reporter thought he was going there, her reaction was priceless and then he quickly said, I'm not saying this is what's going on here. He can't either since they didn't get evidence to show her denying parenting time
The mother is a disgusting human being. Same for her “attorney” and the stepfather.
Oh man the attorney is a piece of work and very bitter and full of attitude
@@PurpleGator2000Imagine listening to that voice regularly! Ugh.
How naive of this Mother to believe her daughter wouldn't be upset to learn that her real father was ousted from her life so that Dad #2 could take over. Children grow up and make their own decisions. It may go your way, but prepare for it to go the biological father's way, ending up with her resenting you for destroying her relationship with her Dad.
🎯🎯
Exactly
If it goes moms way its bc she filled her head with he “didn’t want/care about you and the man you know as dad has always been there and that’s who matters” well at least for now, divorce is +50% an higher for people who already been divorced before in this country so who knows if they will stay together forever. Regardless if they do SHE has a dad that pays his cs, wants to be a dad and was military living 12hrs away. That’s a hard sacrifice for any family so for mom to make him feel bad for choosing to make that sacrifice before the child was born mom/dad made the decision to have her as a military child. Mom should encourage a good relationship and tell the daughter good things about dad and where/why he’s there. To make it like hes just off living his regular life not government owned is not right and alienating. She shouldn’t make it awkward for him/his family when visiting. He probably takes gma/them to help make it not as uncomfortable. I wouldnt want my ex breathing down my neck at visitation watching my every move and COUNTING how many words he said during the visit(regarding the “didnt say ten words”) it does make it uncomfortable. Give them space to have there visits.
Amen!
My ex constantly bad mouthed me to my kids throughout my divorce for 2 years. He would cry, saying my kids need me. The only reason he wanted them is because he wanted our house. He ended up getting custody and did nothing for them after it was over. Now, as adults, they see who he really is and really don't have much to do with him.
Can you imagine how angry Kingsley will be with her mother when she sees this on the internet.
I had to shred all my divorce and child support documents after I got a lawyers to legally terminate the child support agreements after the dad stopped paying. The government kept sending me ‘review of child support requests’ with a statement of outstanding arrears and they wanted answers because of government social security payments. Once the child support was terminated so too was the gov child allowance. I can’t imagine the pain that a video would cause. I see no reason for family court to be online.
as a person that's mother and stepfather did this, this mother is in trouble
This is agonizing to watch. The child doesn't know him as her father because her mother failed to foster the relationship and actively prevented it.
🤦🏽♀️ I'm so exhausted w these type of mothers....it's not fair to the children. He was a soldier, served his country, that always causes separation. My dad was a pilot and always gone, but my mother made sure I knew who my dad was and made sure I saw him when he was home and had a relationship. She fostered it....that's what a good parent does!
Lots of men serving their country get shafted in situations like this! Been like that forever. Seen it for myself when I was in the Navy...
Agreed! Thank you for your service!🙏She shouldn’t make him feel bad for his military duty. Its a hard sacrifice for families and mom/dad knew that and decided to have a child during his time in the military. Mom should be encouraging the relationship, telling her where/why hes there. Not making it like hes off living his regular life just choosing to not be there when he was government owned and 12hrs away. Plus having to do supervised visits at moms with her/hubby breathing down there neck and literally counting every word he said🙄her lawyer said “you didn’t say ten words and you brought your mom/dad&brother” well maybe they came so he felt more comfortable in a uncomfortable situation. He wants to see his child but not deal w her the entire time to do it examining and dissecting every thing he says or does. She is a piece of wk! Trying to cut dad out so new hubby can be dad bc he’s been away for military duty. My best friend was in the army for 8yrs and i rarely seen him. He came hm for Christmas and one time during may/june for a week. All his other days were too short to take such a long trip home or $$ was right bc he was in 2006-2014 un married no kids at that time was $1200/month tax/rent free bc he lived there.
It’s disgusting and this Mother needs to be held accountable.
It irks me that the mom tried to guilt him into signing over rights so the daughter could have a “normal” family like she deserves when her affairs (yes, plural) are the reason neither children have a “normal” family. I’m not sure I’m explaining myself very well. Does anyone else get what I’m trying to say?
I get you, and I 100% agree! It’s her actions that put her daughter in that situation, and her choice to marry a man divorce him, but then remarry him after marrying and having a child with another man. She just wants to erase that whole middle marriage, and pretend she never divorced her first husband and pretend all the kids are his. So disgusting of her to try to blame the biological father!
I fully agree!
Yes, she doesnt want the dad to be around to tell her why they split up so mom can paint him as a deadbeat.
Obviously the Judge is not a Veteran. He would understand the responsibility you have as a member of the armed forces. The mother is Rediculous as hell.
She doesnt understand what her term on military days off are. There is a mileage limit of how far away you can travel on your days off. Military service is on call 24/7 unless you are on leave.
And leave can be canceled for any reason.
I’m willing to be she does know, remember the job is to represent who is paying, not tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. It sucks, some may say it’s immoral but it is her job.
Grandma 100% was doing the right thing trying to show pictures and talk about dad. My daughter, now 26, lost her dad to suicide when she was 5 months old. He was the kindest, sweetest man ive ever known. I kept pictures of him around and spoke about him often. Id tell her how he would feel about things going on in her life as she grew up. She's told me how she loved that i kept him alive in her mind and she feels like she grew up knowing him. A few years ago she posted about him on a local site in our town. She was flooded by people who knew him, old high school friends, etc, telling her what a great guy he was. My point is, i guess, that it is important to a child to know their parents whether they're absent or not. Grandma was trying to do that and she was right❤
I was so mad watching this case.. mom deliberately tried to cut Kenzley’s actual dad out of her life and tried to replace him with stepdad. Like, lady, you made her with him! Why are you trying to keep her from having anything to do with him?! And getting mad bc grandma is trying to show her that Eric isn’t her real dad! So not only did mom cut out her dad, but also her grandma and all of her other relatives! This kid is gonna need some counseling!
What about stopping the little girl from going to dancing lessons at grandma’s studio, the fun she had with her cousin on dad’s side. Cruel just a heartless, selfish mother. Why could the little one have fishing and dancing?
She's a little garden tool! She divorced and immediately after that married her now husband. Thats why she didnt want to answer! The nerve of her to alienate that child from her father especially when he was serving and providing for his family. She's gonna get tired of the current one and do the same thing.
Oh, nay nay! She divorced her first husband, married the dad in the case above, and then REMARRIED her first husband! It's wild!
@@Brit626I wonder if they’re trying to take custody of the husbands son? Or because he has the same last name they can pretend. But seriously, I’m curious why the dad’s attorney didn’t ask the stepdad how he’d feel if the mother of his son tried to do this? Or how he felt when the mom DID in fact move their older daughter away to Virginia?
I’d also ask the dad if he had any standing orders on travel because yeah you do get holidays but you still can’t be more than a certain distance away- you have to request leave well in advance, it has to be approved AND it can be rescinded literally within hours. Not to mention, how was it not brought up that she left Virginia and took the child with her? She knew full well what she was doing, I’m guessing she was after benefits and to be a dependent but realized it’s not what it’s cracked up to be and left.
@@rachaelbucholz4028 She is an absolute POS. She blocked any relationship with her loving father. This was all her doing.
Did I hear that she was cheating and that ended the marriage to dad?
Omg the nerve of grandma to have her granddaughter try and talk to her dad! 🙄😏
I'm confused how this attorney cant see how frivolous this case is! Her client is ridiculous and both the lawyer and mom should be ashamed of themselves!!
If you want the parental rights terminated, then stop asking for child and spousal support.
Not that I think they should be terminated, but I want to point out that the mom did in fact say that he won’t have to pay if he gives up his rights
@@aleahsimpson7373 But she’s sure as heck happy to take his money for the daughter and to terminate his contact with his daughter and Grandmother, thereby effectively terminating him as Dad. She wants her cake and to eat it too
@@tictactoe325 I mean she’s literally trying to terminate his right so he wouldn’t be paying which is the opposite of trying to have her cake and eat it too. If she was just withholding the child and taking support without trying to terminate his rights, then you would be correct. I’m not trying to defend her or anything. I’m just tired of the people act like all moms want is to take child support regardless of what’s actually happening in the case.
In the text she sent the father that the father read on the stand it is he would need to pay her any more she clearly doesn’t want or need his money
@@aleahsimpson7373I understood that comment regarding paying to be that he wouldn’t have to pay legal fees to give up his rights.
Sad situation. This mother basically wants to act like her daughters father does not exist and pretend that she never broke up with her first child's father. She wants to love a fairytale life and not reality.
While taking the child support money. I bet she hasn’t saved it all up to give back to the dad if he loses.
What a disgusting mother. Makes such a mess of all of her kids lives by swapping husbands back & forth, having kids with both dads. She has caused the confusion- not dad. Her selfishness in alienating this child's father will come back to bite her in the ass. The internet never goes away. Her daughter will soon be old enough to search & find this herself. She will one day hate & resent her mother for hating her ex more than she cares about the best interest of her child.
Dad fought back which I love, that shows he wants his daughter. No doubt about it.
This 4-month abandonment rule is nonsense. I know multiple families that parents live out of state and out of country and only spends summers with the other parent.
Some of my favorite relatives I only saw every few years on holidays except for birthday & Christmas cards, occasional weddings or funerals, and very short phone calls. I knew who they were without being afraid of them or having a picture up or talking about them.
An uncle I only had that much contact with came up for a Christmas get-together, and TWO years later, my then 7 year old son picked his Great Uncle out of a crowd at the state fair and named him and his wife!
Wow his ex wife is horrible! I hope her current husband realizes that if they divorce and have a child she’ll put her new husband through the same thing
That fool married her twice...this is the second time they've been married because the older daughter is theirs together so he knows what he's getting into 😅😅
She already did it to him so it surprised me that he is ok with her doing it to this dad cuz he knows exactly how it feels. Shame on the mom AND the stepdad. Dad seems to be a very passive person but he needs to start being aggressive when it comes to him having a relationship with his daughter. Step it up, dad cuz this is prob your last chance to do things right. I knew Judge Wolfe would make the right decision, i have high respect for him.
He should already know. He married her and divorced before the current father. They got back together and remarried after this Father. He knows. I wouldn't be surprised if she did the same to him the first time and the lesser of the evils was to get back together with her to be able to raise her oldest which is his.
So why is it a surprise that the alleged father hasn't seen the child, when the parenting plan states that WHEN HE IS OUT OF THE MILITARY SERVICE HE WILL SEE THE CHILD.... ?
So if he still was in service he has limitations on when and where he can see the child.
My son was a Marine & even IF you have days off, you can't travel more than 150 miles. We always had to go visit him.
It's disgusting that they are using his military service absense to take this man's child from him!
I can't believe a judge has to sit through this nonsense.
Yes it is utter bullshit if you ask me! The nerve of her now husband to think that it's ok to remove this man, the man that is away serving this country and she laid up cheating!! The grandmother is the next closest thing to her dad and if he's away why should or could not talk about her dad or show pictures of her dad.
All bc of a selfish mother! I am glad judge ruled not to terminate his rights
This mother doesn't deserve to have custody. Her rights should be terminated - she has lied to this little girl about who she is. She is an awful human being!!
This judge is extremely good to see what is in the child’s best. I think after seeing the half of this video mom and step has no hope in this world. The real father will get visiting time to get to know his child and 8 months down the road with have 50/50.
Yes!!!!! The witch didn’t get her way.
Oh thank god. I’m nervous listening to the ending right now scrolling down the comments
@@daniellepavlis4232

She’s a miserable attorney for so many reasons! Always such a bully & stirring up s^*t 💩

McKinney, the judicial law clerk's facial expressions during some other hearings I've watched just crack me up. Hearing all that family tea 😮
I love when her little eyeballs look up randomly! Like she shouldn't be listening, but she just can't help herself 😂😂
@purekarmicnature4079 yes pure comedy gold watching her expressions
I appreciate how thoughtful the judge was in this ruling. He was spot on and I hope dad takes this opportunity to get visitation in place
My ex tried this exact same thing with me in 2000 before 9/11. I almost lost my parental rights because i didn't demand the Army send me back to the US from Germany. I finally got a lawyer to stop him but Tennessee didn't care i had no ability to come home to see my child. 😢
Judge Wolfe has the look, temperament and wisdom of who I vision a Judge should be like. He seems very thoughtful and listens to everything while appearing to consider all testimony. He should train other Judges who lacks all the above.
He usually all about the mother, he has a 50’s mentality about what makes up a family. The case was BS.
No, he’s usually about whats in the best interest for the child … period
The Dad's Mom was a good witness with the bully attorney!
I don’t understand how mom could think it will benefit her daughter to terminate. I think children need all the loving people in their life possible. She has a loving grandmother and father, even if he isn’t seeing her more. Further if being of service to your country means courts rule against you, who will serve? Thanks to all those that are serving or have served.
The mother testified that she thinks another man is the child’s father, and that she is upset that people are confusing the child when they talk about or encourage a relationship with the actual father. No ma’am you confused her, you lie to your child.
Father needs to be pushing for the visitation and having contempt charges brought when the mother inevitably is contemptuous.
Yeah but he wasn't
If it wasn't for his mother be probably wouldn't have anything to do with his daughter
Mom should look into getting a refund, her lawyer was horrible! Made her client (mom) look worse at every opportunity! Built her entire case on grandma asking the child to talk to her dad while he’s stationed away from home in the military! Fell out of my chair when the judge finally called her on it! 😂😂😂
Good god her attorney is a MONSTER
Wait what??? So the child she has with her now husband is older than the one they are in court for? Dang lady!
Good call judge!!!! The child would have never thought anything different from only seeing her dad a couple times a year and talking to him on the phone unless the mom made an absolute show out of it! Which in turn only hurts the daughter! Should the father have done more, of course he should have! That would be between the father and daughter when she got older, but taking his rights completely away would have been between the mother and daughter as she got older!!! All this is is about control not about the daughter!!! Why any parent would ever put themselves in a position to be the one to take away your child's other parent without just cause is beyond me!!!
I think he was afraid of the child getting punished because that is what she did to the older kids. What a vile woman!
I have to say that the father’s mother is an amazing woman. She was well-spoken and composed during her time on the stand and really articulated the situation effectively. I’m not in the military and even I know that traveling while on time off is difficult. The child’s mother needs to grow up and deal with the situation appropriately.
Traveling round-trip standby on the busiest travel days of the year is impossible. He *may* have had a few holidays off, but that doesn't mean he could get halfway across the country.
Gramma wasn't chasing her son down for visits, but phone visits during Gramma's short visit times were frictionless compared to that evil "mother"
This case makes me angry. Being a soldier isn’t like a regular job, you can’t just do what you want. Someone serving this country and wants a relationship with their child should not have their rights terminated because they aren’t available 24/7…
Any service men or women watching this.... be careful. Know your partner.
You sacrifice so much. Dont let assholes like this woman take control of what becomes your heart and soul.
This heffa is horrible and disgusting 😤 doesn't even consider her child's feelings at all. This is sickening 🤬
This mother step father and her attorney are absolutely disgusting
Mom is an awful human. Dad makes minimal effort to see his child. Dad's mom is the kind of woman I'd want in my corner if i needed help.
As an adopted child, I thank God they never lied to me about being adopted. I know people who were lied to about being adopted. It never ends well. It’s extremely painful for the child and puts a strain on the relationship that may never be mended. This mom was on the wrong track. She may not know it, but being forced to be honest will serve her well.
Military personnel unless they apply for leave and approved are not permitted by regulation depending on their posting must be able to return to their designated post/base/ship within a specific time period.
This child doesn’t know her father bcuz mom doesn’t want her to. Granted he needed to do better but I’m imagining he felt defeated. Grandma loves that child and mom didn’t want her alone once she could talk bcuz she knew grandma would talk about her dad
It’s so weird to me that the moms lawyer keeps asking grandma obnoxiously specific questions about the dad that she is super unlikely to know the answer to, like whether he submitted his phone records with the court, or speculate on why he might have done something. I thought they were only supposed to ask questions about things that the witness has personal knowledge of? Why isn’t his lawyer objecting?
There's no need to object because the questions were stupid and made her look stupid! He just allowed her to hang herself w/the questions that she asked.
Ya asking her about why she didn’t submit her phone records or pics w time stamps. Like she is a lawyer she knows they ask the parent to submit their evidence not the families documents. Gma said if she knew she would have. That lawyer didn’t give any good defense for the parental alienation mom was exhibiting heavily to gma about dad. Just asking stupid questions like that
She was comfortable enough with him to lay with him.
If the roles were reversed he would have reprimanded the father if he pulled the same stunt.
My dad gave up parental rights to get out of arrears. Stepdad adopted. I got to have them both, even walked down the aisle, one on each side.
💝
Thank god 🎉 now go be a dad 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
i honestly think mom's going to make it nearly impossible
The judicial law clerk is annoying. She can't sit still and is either digging around in her bag or texting. She should not be shown as she is very distracting.
Same thought,
I agree! Her facial expressions are really unprofessional all the while knowing she’s on the close up big screen!! Fluffing her hair, rolling her eyes, sneaking overly dramatic looks at the Judge…I even think she thinks people are probably having all the same ‘appalled’ reactions as her & mentally patting herself on the back. I’m embarrassed for her!!
Judge…move your mic or your writing pad away from it please!? 🙆🏽♀️
Why do these women do this 💩 as a mother, both my sons Dad was deadbeat. However they could visit him whenever they wanted, I never stopped them having a relationship. They’re now in their late 20s and mid 30s and don’t have anything to do with him. They saw how he was themselves when they got old enough and made that decision for themselves. Let children make their own choices as long as they’re not put in any danger. It honestly really angers me when I see women like this! 🤬
I did exactly the same!! As grown adults, my kiddos formed their own opinion…..ironically it’s the same as mine! The solace, I have in my heart, is I NEVER subjected my kiddos to my opinions or dislikes about their other parent, they made their own mind up and formed their own opinion!
I agree with every word, the damage a dead beat dad inflicts on their kids makes it so hard cause you are powerless to protect them from pain. I guarantee that we’ve have had to hold our children while they’ve cried asking ‘ why doesn’t he love me?’
How can you ever explain the unexplainable.
Your daughter not you, deserves to have her father in her life!
Lord this guy man ain’t no way in hell Anyone gonna tell me I can’t see my kid definitely not some man who not her father
Dad needs to grow a pair, but, mom is definitely alienating dad and child!
@@CheysMama15I mean, to be fair, dad's hands are kind of tied because he was in the military, and could only move so far. It sucks, but he couldn't do much I don't think.
Lets rise up Judge Wolfe fans!
The Wolfe Pack unite!
I knew the dad’s only chance was this judge.
Please he is usually on the mother’s side in this case the law forced him to make this ruling. He said nothing about mother annihilating the father or grandmother now did he?
This judge is horrible and always rules for the mother
No parent should file to terminate the other parents rights as in this case-this is just plain meanness toward the father, on this moms part
Mother sure has took that child support all these years!
The mother just wants the biological father out of her life. She doesn't want the headache of dealing with her ex.
Mom is a disgusting person. How TF did the judge not reprimand the mother for all her bullsh**? The lawyer is nasty to 🤬
This case made me absolutely sick to my stomach. This lady sees nothing wrong with what she’s doing/done to her own child, her child’s FATHER and his entire family. She should be ashamed of herself! I dunno who tf she thinks she is but she’s very confused about the power she thinks she holds. If she would’ve rather had the kid with the guy she was cheating with, she absolutely had control over that choice!! However, you don’t get to make the choice she made then try to play god afterward and completely eff her daughter’s life up. Instead of spending all his child and spousal support on fishing with fake dad and saving for her college fund, her and fake dad should save for a hefty therapy fund for this poor little girl when she finds out her mother is a disgusting puppet master and chose to deceive her daughter for her whole entire life. Her attorney’s voice and attitude make me want to punch something…she treats every soldier dad this exact same way in every one of her cases I’ve seen and it’s so gross to watch, but especially to hear. The fake Dad going along with this charade tells you exactly what type of man he is. They should also find a new church because whichever one they’re attending isn’t spending enough time on MORALS!
I like how the judge gave the dad advice on what the dad should do moving forward. Hopefully, his lawyer will tell him more about his rights, too. I don’t think he wanted to make waves, but the law sees that as suspect, not being polite. He should have requested the courts force mom to answer the phone whenever he got the opportunity to call, but unfortunately it sounds like they split up before his daughter could talk. Very unfortunate timing for dad since he had to go out of state. Judge should have came down hard on mom for making it even more difficult for dad, but perhaps he didn’t because he knew she was going to lose.
The MOTHER interfered/denied the visitation & communication with his child & failed to foster a positive relationship with & between child & father! Military service also interferes with the father's free will in visiting with his child!
I’m really disgusted with this mother and her husband. Why would this be necessary????
I realize it’s a strategy but is it really helpful to act like the grandmother is doing something abnormal by attempting to facilitate phone contact with the dad and child? I thinks it’s disgusting that mom and her lawyer are trying to use it as a strategy, imo it reflects worse on mom’s case. Trying to deflect from mom’s poor choices, I guess. Also , it doesn’t help to force the belief that stepdad is her real dad. Someday her daughter will realize mom’s agenda in pushing that false narrative benefitted mom only. I don’t believe for a second that mom actually thinks she’s protecting her child, she’s fully aware she’s protecting herself and possibly her current relationship. What happens when mom moves on again??
I’d be interested to know if the stepson has a relationship with his bio mother this is so cruel they are very spiteful I also wonder if the husband would like to be cut out of his sons life seems only fair
He’s paying child support and has a relationship with the child (not close but still). There was no way the judge was going to dissolve his parental rights.
Sorry, I blame the child's mother for not making sure the child has a relationship with the father. It's not easy being in the military and when it's a divorce situation where the child is in a completely different state (or country) from where the service member is stationed, it can be difficult to visit as often as they would like. I served in the military and as the mother of a Marine myself, I know very well that they can't just drive however far they want just because they have a holiday off. They can only go so far from the base (depending on the base, at most 450 miles if it is a 72, which is a 3 day weekend). They can have a 3 day weekend, yet one of those days have duty which screws up any attempt to go home. Depending on their MOS, they could be out in the field training (generally not allowed their phones depending on what they are doing). I could easily go weeks without hearing from my son due to training (he was a 0352). Although there are legal services on base, something like this they will say to hire a civilian attorney which costs money. The military doesn't pay much if you are E-4 and below. They make up for the pay with the benefits. You get 3 hots and a cot and free healthcare. We were blessed that I lived within 250 miles from the base and he was able to come home on the weekends unless he was on duty or deployed (I would occasionally make a weekend trip to visit him).
The judge made the right call. I wish this young man well and hope he is able to establish a good relationship with his daughter. He should try to video chat with her every day, if possible and plan leave accordingly. Hopefully, the mother won't interfere and allow this. Considering she cheated, the least she could do is ensure her daughter has a relationship with her father. The two men should establish a relationship as well. They both love this child, it is in her best interest for the adults to act like adults.
The dad does deserve to be in his child’s life. WOW.
I’m sad for the child the father deserves a connection this is a huge problem with courts they don’t recognize the corruption of our judiciary system and it blocks the family connection through child support this has been happening since boarding schools kidnapping indigenous children!!!!!!
Great case thank you…great judge, horrible mom …..wish the judge would have told her how bad job she is doing as a mom….
Outrageous. That mother is a horrible person. Selfish.
You don’t want him to be a father how many times you sent that child support back since your new husband wanted to adopt her and you did refuse him ample time to visit when he did come around
He needs to go for joint custody now. That witch will regret starting this circus once he does that
Wait how does the judge agree that the witch was justified to bring this to court ?!?!
They want his rights terminated but I bet she still wants the money 💰. That gets into a sticky situation for judges
😊
She offered to stop support if dad agreed but it sounds like it's not about the money dad has always paid and has no problem paying even when he barely sees her. I see the moms side but she had the child with him she is dead wrong trying to take her away.
If his rights are terminated, child support stops. She was aware of that.
The lady lawyer is rude and nasty.
Mothers like this piece of work make me so mad and sick and the worst part is that she did this same thing to the first father as well. I think the new man had a lot to do with this racket. I could be wrong but I do think they both had part in that.
Shame - Shame- the mother is a manipulative POS. I hope dad keeps track of everything, makes real attempts. Military parents are shafted many times.
I have to question the morals of two people that would willingly try to terminate rights of a father that isn’t unsafe to be around and that wants to be in his child’s life. She wants to act like that how other marriage didn’t happen. You sleep around that’s what happens.
They need a vositation schedule where the father does not have to "ask" the mom/step dad for permission to spend time with his daughter. They should not have a choice.
I was with the judge until he said that he doesn’t blame mom for bringing this action.
A good mother would show their child pictures of their father as they are growing up and would tell the child good things about their father, Same for if a woman is in the military and dad is at home. A good parent would never lie to their young child about who their other parent is, regardless. It is the right thing to do for that child.
If a biological father is alive and wants to see his child, this should not be hard. This mother started all this mess because of lust, and now she's trying to eliminate the father completely. I feel so many men get the shaft just because the wives want them out of their life. It's their own flesh and blood. I really respect this judge but can't understand why this is so hard when the mother made the father and his mother very unwelcome.
Shame on the mother for cutting the grandmother out of her granddaughter's life. She should have been encouraging the family rel and bringing her over for visits and weekend visits..
Awesome result for Grandma!
She'll just continue to alienate Dad these women who hate an ex partner more than they love their children need to stop being tolerated by the courts.
So Mom has effectively discouraged a relationship with her Daddy, she has encouraged this poor baby to see her husband as her father. Now she wants to benefit from the circumstances she created to deprive him of a parenting relationship with HIS child. Glad the judge declined the petition and gave this father a wake up call to be a Dad. Hope he steps up, and Mom encourages the relationship - a child needs both parents.
this really pisses me off. What right does the mother think that she has all the right to keep the child from the father. He's away in another state working in the military and has limited time for leave. This off course would make it difficult for contact. She should be encouraging the child to have contact with the father but shes in another relationship so both of them are probably in the childs ear. The father needs to try to have more contact and keep records of every time he tries to call or text. I believe the mother is trying to keep the child from him and his mother beause of the new relationship. Lady you have no right to do this. You both made the child and you should allow hi to see her because if you don't it will come back and give you Karma later in life when she wants contact with him because it will happen. What ever you do don't lie to the child.
I think the judge here knows what is most likely going on but couldnt say because no evidence was given by defense. I think he did a great job to mention other cases and a deep explanation to hopefully prevent an appeal or for the mother to try again in another court.
Mom saying the child doesn't want to talk to him or see him, but that's because mom is cut him out of her life and made her believe that only her husband is the child's father.
Judge Wolfe's law clerk Ms. McKinney is hilarious to watch. The facial expressions are too much. They should always show her.
Part of me wonders if she is doing it on purpose or if her emotions just broadcast themselves without any restraint 🤣
I wanna know what text conversation she’s having?! 😂 It seems to be very interesting 🙃
This comment is interesting because another court reporter I watch on here is always lambasted for her facial expressions
@@MDBredBeauty i know exactly who you are talking about too. Lol
First thing I saw. She would be great in a comedy.
