She never sees her dad anyway. And if he had no parental rights ( which he'd love, he's already offered to sign her over ) I wouldn't deal with him at all. Signing over custody of her to my husband wouldn't change anything. We already never see him or hear from him, basically nothing would change except he would not have to pay child support... and my husband doesn't believe in not being responsible for your obligations so he would never sign the papers, and I respect that. He's already taken responsibility for Hailey, the only thing it would do is tell Jesse it's okay.
He rarely calls, and sees her maybe three times a year at the most, and it's usually because I'm in Columbus. He says I ' never let him see her"... what he MEANS is I don't take her there every weekend and pick her up. We've lived in this house six years, he's been here twice, once to pick her up, once to drop her off. When he dropped her off it was at one in the morning on a Sunday... she had school the next morning and I was furious. We have an agreement to meet in between, but he just never calls and asks to see or have her her a night, a weekend, or even for a day. Our in between is actually a half hour closer to him than us as well. He has no excuse, and my daughter is old enough that she's realizing what a pos he is.
