fieryeyedwriter First of all - no matter what decision you reach together, you need to put it in writing and take it to court. Custody has to be "ordered" by the court to prevent future disputes. Second - why not go with joint custody? If the two of you are both great...

Did you hear that Presidentail hopeful Barak Obama intends to crack down on dead beat dads and anyone who doesn't pay child support? I think he mentioned stiff penalties for financially deserting the child. I think that's...

fieryeyedwriter Hmm... I have to agree, father's should pay for their children. However, until the government also cracks down on mother's who violate visitation orders and keep children from their fathers, why should one side be held accountable for their failures? Why do...

should dad's who don't bother to pay child support still get to have visitation rights. i don't see how it's fair for my ex to never pay for anything and still get all his rights. my daughter is not getting her rights to the money...

fieryeyedwriter Amazingly enough, your "argument" is an old one. It goes along with the flip-side argument of "I pay my support and am denied visitation." There is no thought for the child in the situations. In truth, and this is my opinion, and only my opinion: Every...

fieryeyedwriter I am not sure where you are from, but your posting has really hit a nerve. Almost every state in the US has visitation guidelines. They are pretty structured and uniform throughout the US. For you to say that you "gave him the right" is WRONG. Being the...

fieryeyedwriter Honestly, I was very surprised at your description of the foods from both places. Personally, if I had to choose one over the other, it would be KFC. At least I can get vegetables there. These fast food places are a great way to stop, have a meal on the go,...

I find when I write, I draw from the things that go on around me on a daily basis. If I try to go outside of my "box", I get writers block fast! That being said, I would love to be able to research and write novels about other...

fieryeyedwriter A magical question that each must find their own answer for! It seems that I find inspiration in everything, what I read, what I feel, what I see, what I hear. I try to look at the world through the eyes of "a writer". Everything is interesting, nothing is to...

fieryeyedwriter Every writer is different. There is no "right" or "wrong" way to do it. My best advice to you is READ. I have a growing collection of different writing books. They range from Writer's Mart 2008 to The Complete Idiots Guide to Getting Published. Although you...

fieryeyedwriter I really think music is great to listen to while writing. But I think the type of music you listen to, depends on what you write. I also think that what kind of mood you are looking for makes a difference when I write. If I am - for example - writing a love...

fieryeyedwriter I think when you are dealing with a situation like this you have to look at longevity. Sure, it would be hard to forgive anyone, but in all reality, the forgiveness is the Hardest part! A sister is an indefinite part of your life, blood bonded, and...

fieryeyedwriter Thanks so much for your response! I am beginning to see that the majority of my problem is the rush I have put on my story. I kept thinking that I "had" to get it done "now" but am realizing that just isn't true! Thanks again!

fieryeyedwriter I guess you can never be 100% sure when you make any decision, but it sounds like you have a LOT of doubts. I don't think I would choose anything if I felt that way, but would wait until I felt at least more sure. Good luck to you, I hope you make a wise...
