Congratulations! A boy his age needs his dad.
And congratulations on Mrs. Thirdson. Sounds like you picked a winner the second time around.

This is great news. Congratulations. I am facing a custody/child support issue myself at the moment and know how trying and tiring it can be. I'm happy for you that the outcome was fair. You are a good dad. Good for you! I wish my ex-husband could be bought away too. I would pay him to stay away since he doesn't even support our kids (not montetarily or in any other form). Sometimes it's what's best.
If you want to see the difference between a good dad and a bad one go to my thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/24/52400/751707/post.ashx#751707
He's quite the opposite of you, Thirdson. I truly and sincerely applaude you!

Hey Thirdson,
A lesser person (like me) might not have accomplished this agreement with as much grace as you've shown your ex-wife. I don't know if I could have controlled the urge to slap my x upside the head. Figuratively, of course.
Congratulations for grace under fire. A sure sign of a gentleman.....and something your son will most likely remember later in his life. A sure sign of a good father.

Thank you all for the congratulations and kind words.
To be honest I have said some nasty and harsh words about my ex (but never to my son). I have fumed at her attitude and lost my cool on occasion. Mrs Thirdson cried at the meeting with my attorney when we discovered how much money I had paid in child support and how little has gone to my son. She has said a few choice and honest words about my ex as well! (we are human not saints) It was a difficult decision to make but S. is a wonderful person and she felt that the ethical and Christian thing to do was to help alleviate the possible financial difficulties of my ex and supported me in finding a solution that did not require a lengthy fight in court and all the parenting investigation that would have occurred.
As for getting justice, I think the right decision was made and believe if this had gone to court contested by my ex I would still have won. However, it comes at some cost and I hired the best attorney I could get. Wisely, my ex chose to compromise. To have fought would have cost her the money I am paying her and instead it would have ended up in the pocket of my attorney. It is sad that all she has ever cared about is the money.
