At my wits end after 2 years of trying to get a divorce...
Our 8 year old Son lives with me, in a house we started buying from the bank not even a year before she lost her mind & started partying, drinking, doing street drugs & we agreed to not share a room. At the time I was able to afford an attorney & I have court orders stating that our Son lives with me & she gets odd weekends. She hasn't been living in the house or contributing to it in 15+ months. She refuses to sign any divorce papers which do not include the sale of the house that our Son & I live in, even though she's been informed, repeatedly, that, due to her not having contributed to the mortgage or house in any way, I am legally entitled to reimbursement for the 15+ months & the realtor commission, closing costs & a couple of minor fix/repair/replace issues would leave little to know money after the sale & do little more than remove the roof from over our Son's head.
She has told me, over the last 30 or so days, that, due to her (legitimate) health issues, she cannot watch him 100% of the time & now informs me that she is unable to afford his basic needs(food, drink, allergy medicine) & I'm legally obligated, by our Temporary Court Orders, to drop him off this Friday, so he can stay for the month of July, with a woman who admitted, in FaceBook Messenger(yes, I saved it), she is unable to watch him 100% of the time & now informs me that she is unable to afford his basic needs.
I'm losing sleep, might be getting a damn ulcer(near constant stomach pain) & dealing with a hell of a lot more pain than what I usually live with, day in & day out because one of the worst things for it is stress(I'm dissable due to multiple, consecutive, herniated discs, made worse by 2 consecutive back surgeries).
I met with an attorney who was very open & direct with me. Due to my having lost my previous attorney, in part due to missing monthly payments(my ex left me with all of the bills, credit card debt, everything), the chance of my finding an attorney who would let me make payments rhymes with "about hero" & that I need to come up with $3,500-$4,500 to see this through. "Come up with that", he says, "& I'll gladly take the case, get you what you're asking for & entitled to & put a stop to the harassment.". Great, I'll just go home & start pruning back the Money Tree in my back yard & be back tomorrow....
I don't know what to do or where to turn to protect my Son & stop the insanity & just needed to vent.

I know TLDR(but to those who did, it means a lot, thank you very much indeed).
I'm a proud Texan & American, posting from Central Texas & have no clue why my flag shows friggin Canada(no offense to my Canadian friends).

Re: At my wits end after 2 years of trying to get a divorce...
you can do much or all of what you need to do by meeting with the free lawyers that work at the court house

they do a better job anyway because they are not trying to get as much money as they can, instead you will tend to get the straight shit from them more often

they are in a hurry, so be organized and come with all your questions and documents prepared whenever possible, go have an initial meeting just to get a direction and figure out what documents to fill out

don't let the expense of a lawyer stop you

plus if you can do most or all of it yourself, you can still hire a lawyer to go to court with you, and it hsould be much less expensive

Re: At my wits end after 2 years of trying to get a divorce...
why dont you just ignore her requests, and tell her to get a lawyer if she wants any custody. who cares if there are no signed divorce papers, unless u want to marry again.

save all her correspondence and represent yourself against her hired lawyer if she ever hires one. tell her she can have limited visits, and just when u thinks its safe.

put it in writing and have her sign it, or dont bring the kid over otherwise.

act strong.

That's a new one to me. I have called the District Court Clerk's office 3 times & they never mentioned this to me. Does this hold true for every Court?
You can't possibly imagine how grateful I am for your having just read about my trouble, let alone giving me a glimmer of hope.

Multiple times I needed to come up with attorney fees and it has drained the life out of me.

All of the situations were out of my control.

My advice for your situation is to get an attorney and don't get married again.

Were she a rational person I would. She's looking at this as a personal battle with me. She rarely calls him or even asks about him when he's not there & he doesn't want to even go but I'm legally obligated to have him there this Friday. It's insanity.

Obey the court orders but give your son a phone and if he as much as gets hungry have him call you to come get him.

File an "Emergency motion for child visitation modification" with the court in person, representing yourself pro se.

Find iut who the judge is and speak directly to that judge's clerk. Explain the need to be seen as soon as possible because it involves the welfare and safety of your child. Be sure to send a certified copy of the motion to your ex.

You can find examples of emergency motions for child visitation on the web using a search engine.

You can also look at paralegal services to do the paperwork for you for about 20% the cost of an attorney. You would still represent yourself in court, but they would handle all the paperwork and file the motion(s).

I've been in your shoes and it sucks to feel powerless. Best of luck to you brother and remember there will be an and to this nightmare. Stay strong for your son.

Our 8 year old Son lives with me, in a house we started buying from the bank not even a year before she lost her mind & started partying, drinking, doing street drugs & we agreed to not share a room. At the time I was able to afford an attorney & I have court orders stating that our Son lives with me & she gets odd weekends. She hasn't been living in the house or contributing to it in 15+ months. She refuses to sign any divorce papers which do not include the sale of the house that our Son & I live in, even though she's been informed, repeatedly, that, due to her not having contributed to the mortgage or house in any way, I am legally entitled to reimbursement for the 15+ months & the realtor commission, closing costs & a couple of minor fix/repair/replace issues would leave little to know money after the sale & do little more than remove the roof from over our Son's head.
She has told me, over the last 30 or so days, that, due to her (legitimate) health issues, she cannot watch him 100% of the time & now informs me that she is unable to afford his basic needs(food, drink, allergy medicine) & I'm legally obligated, by our Temporary Court Orders, to drop him off this Friday, so he can stay for the month of July, with a woman who admitted, in FaceBook Messenger(yes, I saved it), she is unable to watch him 100% of the time & now informs me that she is unable to afford his basic needs.
I'm losing sleep, might be getting a damn ulcer(near constant stomach pain) & dealing with a hell of a lot more pain than what I usually live with, day in & day out because one of the worst things for it is stress(I'm dissable due to multiple, consecutive, herniated discs, made worse by 2 consecutive back surgeries).
I met with an attorney who was very open & direct with me. Due to my having lost my previous attorney, in part due to missing monthly payments(my ex left me with all of the bills, credit card debt, everything), the chance of my finding an attorney who would let me make payments rhymes with "about hero" & that I need to come up with $3,500-$4,500 to see this through. "Come up with that", he says, "& I'll gladly take the case, get you what you're asking for & entitled to & put a stop to the harassment.". Great, I'll just go home & start pruning back the Money Tree in my back yard & be back tomorrow....
I don't know what to do or where to turn to protect my Son & stop the insanity & just needed to vent.
