I realize these men don't really care that much about the well being of their own children. If they were really men they would see to it that their children enjoy the same standard of living that they themselves enjoy. I would not make a move without clearing it first with your attorney! There are laws which govern this and you would not want to assume and yes maybe have them accuse you of child stealing. I think this is way to serious a matter not to be 100% clear of what you can and can not do. Maybe you could use the money as a leverage? I can't believe this goes on day in day out where a man and yes there are also women who abandon their children. They should at least wait until the kids are grown. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. BE SURE BEFORE YOU ACT ON THIS!

Thats what I dont understand either. I practically begged my stbx to just come back for the last 2 months of shool since his leaving had greatly upset my daughter. Totally unwilling. Why the heck would he leave Hawaii to help his daughter get through the school year. Ahole. And I agree with you. He could have waited 2 years until both kids were out of the house. He is too selfish to think of anyone but himself.
