Legal advice about child visitation and dipshit exhusband?

Me and my ex husband have been divorce since oct. 14, 2008. He was deployed when our daughter was 5 months old and was gone for 15 months. Throughout the deployment, every soldier gets rr or leave and he came home for her 1st birthday. That was the 1st time he's seen her since she was 6 months. (he was there since birth-6 mos.) the very last month (were still married and together) i find out he impregnated somebody else, and i am pretty much forced to move back to my hometown. (what the hell do i wanna be there for) and when he came home, the first thing he does is hire a lawyer for our divorce. called a total of 10 times to ask about his stuff in a storage we had, but never to ask about our daughter. i couldnt be there at the court hearing of our divorce, so he flew all the way down from wa to divorce me, but NEVER showed up or called to see her until he was on the way to the airport. By this time my daughter is now 2 and few months. He comes back to visit, with his new family in february and asks to see her on technically MY weekend, and he had only paid 2 months of child support since our divorce by this time. I told him he could see her DURING THE WEEK. and he agreed to meet me at a park on a monday, his weekend was coming up the following saturday. he stayed for 20 minutes and left. he called once to have his wife tell me ';you need to get a better job and take care of your kid by yourself';. he then told me ';i want to sign off my rights'; he never called after that, and he moved away to amsterdam with his military wife and i never heard from him until june. he claims that he never had my number, and that he couldnt ever get ahold of me to talk to our daughter. (after all the times he'd call my job and bug his sister about my number) my daughter spent almost every other weekend with his sister, even though i did not have to allow it. he talked to her through webcam when she did visit. NOW, he calls when it is convenient for him and when i dont answer (class, work, or my daughter is with her ';daddy';) which is very seldom, he throws a fit, and says im denying him of his own daughter. MY job as her mother is to answer, hand her the phone, and hang up when shes done. She started to call my current husband her dad, because we met when she was almost 2. hes been here with her ever since and knows him better than she knows her real dad. her real dad is blaming me for not ever telling her to call him daddy, because she calls him by his first name.





if he would have been there from the get go, i would definitely tell her and teach her who her daddy is, but since hes threatened to sign his rights off, he can kiss my *** and go to hell. HE left us, HE chose to live in another country, and now i have been served with papers about visitation rights, saying i have been denying him on ';numerous occasions'; and he also is decreasing his child support. I really just want to get his rights revoked.





and for all you folks out there saying that texas lawyers are more lenient on veterans, and blah blah blah. and ';he was deployed, he couldnt help it.'; HE HAS BEEN HOME FOR OVER A YEAR AND HAS SEEN HER ONCE.





goes for months without calling and blames it on his other kid always being sick.





i have 2 kids of my own and i always pay attention to both, not just the sick one.








need help? do i need a lawyer? is this considered a case?


he just praises ';make up time'; but he lives out of the country...Legal advice about child visitation and dipshit exhusband?
I don't get it. Does you ex live in the same state as you or some other state or country? You say he's been home for a year, but then you say he lives out of the country.





Regardless, if he is bringing a custody suit or a child support suit, then you need a lawyer to protect your interests which include your children.
