Having just put a chunk of change into my wife’s van, I told the family that our money could be put to better use than gifts for me.
Unable to resist, they replaced the Dremel tool that I had recently burned up. They also gave me 4 packs of peppered beef sticks, and some cold beer.

Our Christmas money went away with my Mothers funeral expenses. Well that and a $780.00 bill for the kids dentist. Seems his mom wouldn't take him to the dentist because it cost her money. I provide the insurance but she doesn't want to pay the co pay. Now he has 11 cavities,yikes. I found out about it when I went in for a cleaning. I also needed a cap, there went $485.00.
All in all it's still good. I have my health, a wonderful wife (#2) who is still in remission, a great kid and we're going to spend a month in Mexico starting Monday.
Have a happy new year all.
-

If she refuses to go to the dentist.. Isn't there some sort of law that requires she picks either a new dentist and pays it with her own money or goes to the one you have insurance on and she pays co-pay?
Could call her on neglect... :confused:

Women, kids, court....nuff said.
You either must be very naive or still so young you actualy believe everything goes by the book.

Hawklore,
The kid is 19 now. Court order has expired, thankfully. He still lives with her and I am providing insurance coverage, not because I have to but because he's my kid and I know the ex can't / won't provide squat. I'm alos traveling full time now and not in the same state except for a brief time.
BTW Jackel has it pretty well nailed. Getting action from the court regarding custody practically requires an attempted murder of the kid by the mother. (slight exageration there, just slight)
