Hi everyone,
My ex, who used to be known here as Genius, has a lot of problems: "sex addicition" and diagnosed personality disorder. Child custody evaluator said he's probably a sociopath. I think he's 100 percent a sociopath. Led a double life while we were married, into extreme BDSM, etc. Then I found out about all of this and started divorce proceedings, and he made my life a living hell for three years over custody.
I have primary physical custody and the kids live with me except for Wednesday nights and every other weekend. I have legal tie-breaking authority.
My kids are 13 and 15. I just discovered that Genius got into an accident under the influence two years ago. He hit a cab. He failed all the alcohol screenings and got arrested and blew a 0.14, which apparently is very high.
Now, I'm trying to figure out what to do. He's always threatening me with everything under the sun and I really hate to even interact with I'm at all. But I'm wondering if I should try to make sure he's not driving at night with my kids in the car.
Has anyone had to deal with this? I want to make sure my kids are safe. I'm not sure what my rights are, and I really don't know if I want to drag attorneys into this, given all the money it will cost. Grateful for any advice.
Oh, and just for a good laugh, Genius threatened me with his ambulance chasing DUI attorney just two months ago! He said my (amazingly honest and kind) significant other was "badmouthing" him and slandering him in front of my kids, etc. etc., something significant other would NEVER do. Genius was just messing with me and claiming that SO could never be around our children!
SO ended up having to consult his old divorce attorney who told him to ignore it all, that it was crazy and that Genius's attorney was disreputable.
Anyhow, the irony is just too much.....
