*** We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming on the incredible, funny, amazing, handsome Mighty Max to give you a quick update on the never ending divorce drama... ***
Unbelievable, I know...but yes, the divorce issues still have yet to be resolved. We have both appealed our cases to the WV Supreme Court and the first step of that process should be any day now. (If someone had told me three years ago, this is where we would be in the divorce case...I would have thought they were nuts!)
Additionally, we have a hearing next week (on April Fool's Day oddly enough) regarding some urgent financial matters. We had to file a contempt petition because the other party was not following through on court orders.
So that is where we are. Very frustrating...but hopefully soon we will have a final resolution. Morally, the issues are very cut and dry. It's very obvious what needs to happen to ensure Maxwell reaches his potential. However, there apparently isn't much precedent in WV regarding a parent's financial responsibility for a child with special needs. So this has become quite the fight.
* And no need to bash the other party in your comments, ok? He is who he is and that simply isn't changing. I just want to get an agreeable solution once and for all to this difficult matter. Your thoughts and prayers would be great!

lol i no i bas vic alot but then as you say he is who he is and i hope max doesnt grow b like him i want him like u amy love ya
I'll be thinking of you. Good luck with it.
Although other-party-bashing is one of my favorite sports, I have to say that your admonition against bashing him gave me even more respect for you than I had before. I didn't think that was possible.
Praying is what it takes. I will pray for you and Max, that you get what you deserve and need.

I will keep you and Max in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this, I hope that the courts finally open their eyes and see things for what they are.
Hugs,
Crystal and Eva
I can't imagine your frustration at this situation. You are right though on the other party front. He is who he is. It took me alot of years to realize that about my husbands exwife. She is who she is and I can't change her. I can only change how I react or DON'T react to her. And we have learned to let the courts handle her. 13 years later we are still filing contempt motions. Sometimes people just don't learn, but you have to find a way to keep positive in YOUR life.
And think too of all the good you are doing to make reforms in this area for OTHER divorcing parents of special needs children! While I only know you through this blog I get the very distinct impression that you are and always have been a trail blazer!
You go girl!
Hugs to you and Max...
As always, In Awe..

Wow, April Fool! I can imagine Mark Coyle would have some witty comments about that.
I pray for you and Maxwell daily.
No need to bash Vic, karma will take care of him.
My love thoughts and prayers are with you in the coming weeks. Please remember somewhere in there to take a moment each day for yourself. Breathe..Relax..A Warm Bubble Bath Soak..And Maxwell, Just when I think you can't get any cuter you go and do something that puts you over the top again. Pixxie and Dragonboy send their love!
We hold your in our hearts for you to have patience and strength.
We are praying for you. I knew Vic's second wife, Rachel and her mother. Her mother and my husband went to school together. Barbara said to tell you hello and glad you are doing as good as can be expected. We all love you, and will pray for this divorce to end and you come out to your and Max's advantage.
Love, Hugs and Kisses,
Diane and Alexandra
Luckily, and hopefully, this will all be settled before Mr. Max is old enough to have any permanent memories of this going on. You are doing a very smart thing to continue fighting for Max very hard and very swiftly. Tough for you now, no doubt, but great for Max in the long run (but you dont need anyone to tell you that). Maybe this might end up being one of those 'landmark Supreme Court cases' that changes legislation regarding parental support of children with extra needs. Who knows, your actions might end up benefitting many more mothers and children. Whatever the outcome, I will pray for you and Max. God knows what you need and HE WILL provide!

OK, I'm going to ask the stupid question here: What difference does it make whether the child support is going to a "regular" child or a "special needs" child? Shouldn't the support be based on each individual child's needs? Alright, so Max's needs happen to be greater than another child's might be. Why would that diminish a parent's responsibility to provide for those needs, though?
Does this guy have no shame!!
Prayers for you both that there is an end in sight so you and Max can enjoy life without all this crap you have to put up with...strong but necessary words!
