Thanks Husky_tdawg.

Yes, they were born in California and we were both residents at the time. She helped her parents move to Missouri and got pregnant by another man and decided not to come back. Another heart breaker...

I didn't know I could do anything in California. I was under the assumption that everything had to be filed in Missouri... She filed through family support in Missouri, but according to the Family Support a court order never took place??? But I pay through them??? I wonder since the court order never took place if I can reduce the payments on my own and if she has a problem with it then she can file a new order? I would imagine that the support would be reduced dramatically given the circumstances. I guess I have to look into that...

I have never been late or missed a payment. I pay for medical, dental and vision. My wife and I also pay a great deal of extra expenses like school clothes, camps, medical copays and ALL travel expenses to and from Missouri. I've always kept up on my end of the bargain yet she tells the kids that I'm a loser and all kinds of bad things. I have made it a point to never discuss my feelings about their mother with them. It's not fair. I just won't stoop to her level. I hope that they will realize one day that what she had said about me is simply untrue.

Just b/c I make less $$ now doesn't make me a loser. I'm really trying to be a good dad, but I can only afford so much. My current wife picks up a great deal of their expenses and paid the support, christmas and birthday presents, while I was out of work. It's really not fair to her to be responsible for kids that are not hers and even though she doesn't say it, I can tell that she's starting to resent it a little.

Bottom line...I want to be looked at as a father and not merely a paycheck.

Again, any more advice will be appreciated.
