AFV_V200 3rd Gear August 13, 2019 Author Share August 13, 2019 By the way, those went through a short marriage. Any idea I have to pay maintenance for how long?

Sosaria Twincharged August 13, 2019 Share August 13, 2019 Why you want the burden of raising child, if your wife willing to do it? He is still your son, whatever the arrangements. Best option is if you get visiting rights, but your ex-wife raise him. Then you are free to pursue whatever's next 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSP415 Supersonic August 13, 2019 Share August 13, 2019 Yup. If u are going to start single parenthood with more debts, emotional stress and juggling of lots of baby care related matters, you may seriously want to consider. Dun fight for sake of fighting, pride and so-called love for your child. Hopefully he doesn't become a football between u and your ex. A tool to get back at each other conveniently. Sorry but i will not fund such a cause. Too many of such requests these days from animals to humans to mother nature. Money is your least problem. Getting yourself to stand straight and carefully plan the next stage of your life WITHOUT your child is, personally, more important now. 2 years down the road, you will realise only when you are financially capable and mentally prepared first then you may consider what is best for child. Now you cant even take care of yourself, u may end up ending it all with him. Harsh words. I sincerely apologise. But i have seen ugly long drawn emotional and mental fights between ex parents of child or children. The kid/kiddos ALWAYS lose. Just my tots Take care. Dun "beg" for monies for such. If the child is better off with your ex, perhaps u need to consider accepting this arrangement. He's your child forever, he's made from your flesh n blood too. Be strong and i wish u well. Build up your career so that u can prove you can responsibily take care of him and his future. Paiseh for machiam lecture. I dun want u to wallow on this path for too long. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic August 14, 2019 Share August 14, 2019 Obvious signs of psychological distress after childbirth. After childbirth, a dramatic drop in hormones (estrogen and progesterone) in your body may contribute to postpartum depression. Other hormones produced by your thyroid gland also may drop sharply — which can leave you feeling tired, sluggish and depressed. Emotional issues. Mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive disorder may surface during or after pregnancy. Additionally, birth-related post-traumatic stress disorder or a severe but rare condition called postpartum psychosis can happen following childbirth Dont you think a divorce would turn things for the possible worst? Go help your wife seek help. Why break up the family? Your son needs his mother at such a young age. Divorce is just a quick fix for your situation. If you care for your son's future and well being help your wife get back to her normal self first. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Divorce full lawyer fee paid and waiting for court to approve the divorce. And that was all I had and next is custody and it will take me at least 3 years to save up the amount needed. I have huge housing loan and renovation loan to serving till 2023, before I can save up more. If I wait to save up more, my case will drag for at least 5-6 years. I will miss all my boy growing path. :( 2. I am not trying to get even, I only state facts in my statement to court but she began to fabricating false incidents. 3. If I win the custody. All is good and I have purpose to live for my son, and I more willing to let her access the boy more than what the court will allow under supervision. The way she behave I know she will intoxicating my boy when he grow if she wins custody. I will intoxicate my son, I will tell him what happen when he grow up and let him decide. I believe action speaks louder than words. 4. Had a talk with her with a counselor. She told me she does not want to divorce but I told her no, my trust in her was completely destroyed. I do not want to live in fear for my boy and my safety. We all know what a father/mother can do to their kids in some headline news before. I do not want even test the water or it will be too late. 5. Suffering is not over yet and I will suffering at least another 2-3 years in this sticky situation as she said she will contest the divorce. 6. I want to do it the best of everyone. I just unable to handle a wife keeps on lying and framed me. On the other hand, I never fabricate anything and only facts. I still want to believe honesty is the way to go, although 1 lawyer I spoke with told me too honest will kill myself in court. I still want to stick to my honesty. 7. She moved out since Apr with my boy. Still no idea where she lives as the police said unable to reveal her address. 8. I only want to pay what my boy needs. I don't want to pay to a woman keep on lying but I know she will still get something.

Watwheels Supersonic August 14, 2019 Share August 14, 2019 (edited) To be honest it's very difficult to believe your side of the story. Your chances of custody will be very slim. The judge will side the mother unless you have substantial prove she cannot take care of your child or not fit to do so. Right now the both of you only have words against each other. Who is the judge suspose to believe? I dont think any of us here is fit to make the call too. It's not about spending how much on a lawyer. It's about what is being submitted to court to convince the judge. Sad to say I do not know the details on what happen to you and your family. I wont anyhow fund ppl's divorce. It's nothing personal against you. I'm also sceptical about what kinda friends you have. It's just that I'm not convinced.

I dun want u to wallow on this path for too long. 1, I am prepare to start single parenthood and did my math I still can do it after factor in childcare and maintenance to her if not high. I still can have little loose cash at end of month. 2, My current debt is only housing loan and renovation loan. 3, I do not want to fight with her. My son will suffer in the process. When I state facts, she deny and fabricate false incidents and I was in shock, and that trouble me a lot and I lose focus on job and hammer by my boss. I am not sure I can even hold on to my job. 4. Well said about I can't even take care of myself or my health. It is because my son is in her hand and I am very worry about his well being. And only law can pin her down now but I need to go through the long and painful process. 5. I agree with you there are a lot of scam fundraising now unless I show all my cards but I can't. She has a lot of friends and they sooner or later come across my campaign and inform her. 6. I am trying to get up each time after I lost a battle with her, she successfully pin me down by using my son as she knew I love him very much. Thank you very much for your advise and opinion.

Lala81 Hypersonic August 14, 2019 Share August 14, 2019 (edited) My personal bias is that unless the mother is unfit with poor maternal instinct, 80-90% of the time, the child is better off with the mother even if the father is willing. Men can be adequate and even capable nuturers of a child, but 90% of men are not even close to that. I don't consider myself good at nuturing also. We can set direction and even be nurturing at specific moments, but for 1-2 hrs a day vs 8-9 hrs a day is very different. All the best to your fight. It's a tough situation.

Go help your wife seek help. Why break up the family? Your son needs his mother at such a young age. Divorce is just a quick fix for your situation. If you care for your son's future and well being help your wife get back to her normal self first. Tried and fail badly. Not 1 try but few try. I didn't break up my family as I want my boy to grow up with a father and mother. But she choose to break up the family and left the house. And I can no longer live with her in fear of my personal safety any longer, and I can't even protect my baby now as the baby is with her. For the record, I didn't lay a finger on her non I verbally abuse her. Not right for a man to do that in any circumstance. To be honest it's very difficult to believe your side of the story. Your chances of custody will be very slim. The judge will side the mother unless you have substantial prove she cannot take care of your child or not fit to do so.

I wont anyhow fund ppl's divorce. It's nothing personal against you. I'm also sceptical about what kinda friends you have. It's just that I'm not convinced. Thanks and is not easy to convince unless I show all my cards. And yes my chance of custody is slim judging the way she lies and I have only 20% of evidence on my hand to counter all her lies. And I have hope the judge able to notice who is telling the lie in court. I am willing to accept any punishment under the eye of law, if I commit wrong doing which will put me in jail. Frankly speaking, i doubt crowdfunding will works...coz this is a one sided story from your end. None of us knows ur wife or knows the whole story. And it is impossible to verify anything that is written here. My suggestion is mortgage ur own house and fund the legal process urself. Understand on the part of one sided story. Is really up to anyone comes into this thread and believe my side of story. HDB can not mortgage. If can I will do it as I want to protect my boy. I am willing to do anything as long I am able to ensure his safety. Edited August 14, 2019 by AFV_V200 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ichibawa 5th Gear August 14, 2019 Share August 14, 2019 Sorry... but I am not sure whether to believe your story as there are very little information or if your purpose is genuine. What is written is mostly about yourself and how bad you are at making decisions which leads to your current dire situation. To be honest, I do not see how you can be a care taker for your son IF you are awarded the custody. I am sorry as I do not mean to bash but that is what you portrayed and clearly you have no plan. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
