AIBU about DP's DD

77 replies

enteramusingnamehere · 15/09/2012 12:09

My DP is foreign and so his daughter lives abroad...his exP is a bitch and always tries to ruin his life, she's tried to add me countless times on MSN and FB (now have stopped her from trying to add me) and she's never met me.

She doesn't let DP see his daughter and now she's found out that we have a daughter she wants more money and is planning to go through the courts (they had an informal arrangement) my MIL pays for all her school items, looks after her, takes her out places whilst his exP and DH smoke weed and generally waste money.

AIBU to be pissed off at the whole situation?? I want to support my DP as much as I can, he'd love to bring her back her, which I would 100% support but they don't give the father any rights so we know there's no point of trying.

Also AIBU to think that DP shouldn't have to pay anything at all as none of the money goes to the DD as it goes on drugs. Would it stand up in court if we gave her things the money should be spent on ie school uniform, clothes etc as child maitenance? Would it BU to suggest this?

So why is op being criticised? Her method of communication is just as valid. And anyway, it's not op's place to be chatting to the ex. It's between the dd's parents, nobody else. Same with when it arrives at court.

Op has already said she has tried to have a good old fashioned phone conversation with her!

And does OP speak fluent portuguese? I'd be guessing not. You don't think that would matter?
