Highlights of what has happened to me: My ex- wife and her family have tried having me put in jail because I accidentally spilled a cup of coffee. This cost me $500 for assault. Not to mention a $150 fine for trying to get my van back which a judge said was my property! My ex-wife has had her telephone number changed and listed under someone else's name so I cannot have contact with my daughter. My ex-wife has refused all contact with me (email, letters, phone conversations, etc) concerning the health and welfare of my daughter Ella. I have sent two registered letters to the last known address; both were returned as undeliverable. For awhile I had some contact with my daughter Ella through email when my ex was not around. Then in January when I requested that Ella come and visit me for a few days all email contact stopped! My ex-wife has placed a lean/hold on my only source of income at this time- my VA disability! Because of this I have less than $500 a month to live on. It doesn't matter that I do not have to pay child support till September 2004 because of my ex-wife stealing $1100 from a bank account which caused us to loose our house before the divorce was finalized. My ex-wife at one time was telling all of our children that I no longer wanted any contact with them. The court system gave custody of my daughter to my ex wife because at the time I had no place for her and had just lost the house we were buying. It didn't matter to the judge that I still had an income and could return to my job as a teacher. It also didn't matter that Judy's father was imprisoned twice for child molestation, raped her when she was 5 years old and her sister when she was 16, that her brother was investigated for having sex with his 16 year old step daughter (who was taken out of the house), that Judy and Ella would be living with her father and brother, that my ex wife was on several different medications and frequently had to stay in a hospital for several days, or that she had no source of income. The last time I tried to visit my daughter in Lincoln, NE my ex wife called the police on me and I was told that if I came back around again "you will be arrested for stalking"! At the divorce trial the judge ordered me to pay for all of Judy's medical expenses (over $100,000) "because you can work and she cant"! My ex wife is getting $800 a month from my VA disability which is not being counted towards child support. It doesn't matter to the court system that she has a total income of over $2000 a month (including ADC, housing, Food Stamps, a border, gets money from all 3 of my children and her father, from selling birds and bird supplies and cake baking and decorating, and $600 social security disability each month). While my sole income at this time is my VA disability! On top of all this my ex wife is planning on taking my daughter out of the country this summer, instead of her visiting with me. Their isn't a thing I can do about it! That is the highlights; if you want more details let me know. Just for now I have no way of contacting my 17 year old daughter or finding out if she is even alive. This is tearing me apart inside as you can probably understand. Not to mention that the justice system has failed in my case and I presently have no way of getting my visitations enforced. Sincerely, Larry R. England
