He didn't show up

hi all.
i went to court this morning, at 10 am. stbx was a no show. good for me. i asked for and got:
sole custody of my children
child support, to be withdrawn from his check, to include back child support.
health insurance for the children
and no more texting, emailing, vm's in an effort to harass and or intimidate me.
seven months to go, and i will be done with him for good.
thanks ladies for your support. i am sure stbx will be an a$$ once he gets served, so i will continue to post and post often.

Great news for you - congratulations!
I'm hoping I get a similar outcome. I have a mediation meeting on Monday for the joint parenting agreement and a hearing with the judge in a couple weeks. My STBX is downright lazy and dragging his feet and it would be just like him not to show up.
Anyway, glad to hear some good news on the board today.

apparently sole custody in my state is almost unheard of. i am very happy and very thankful tonight.
good luck to you mcc.

Phew! So so painful to go through all this, but glad you got pretty much what you needed.

Here's to hoping that you have some alternatives planned should it turn out that he will be residing in jail for the remainder of his life.

i don't care about his money. he is a drunk who sleeps on the couch. if he doesn't pay or quits his job, he'll sit his butt in jail. the court system does not take to kindly to men who don't pay their court ordered child support.
and if he doesn't pay or ends up in jail, i will work 3 jobs if i have to. the biggest victory for me is sole custody of my children. the rest is gravy.
and you didn't rain on my parade, but i hope that you try to look for a silver lining in your cloud. personally, i'm tired of pessimism.

Hi!
I thought about you on Friday and over the weekend wondering what your outcome would be.
I am so very happy for you and I sincerely hope that this is the end of this nightmare for you. I know what you mean about working and mking due. It's not the important thing. All that mattered was the custody and that could not have gone better!! Whether or not he decides to straighten up (sober up), get grip and take care of his children is up to him. What really counts is that the kids are with you!!
You have gone through so much, I am so happy for you today. I'll bet your counting down those 7 months..!!
Thanks for letting us know the good news.
