he may just be looking for someone to tell him it’s ok to forget about the kid and move on with his life.



this is also a likely possibility

I hate that fricking term, how is he a deadbeat dad if the count up and moved to another country with his son?


Sorry I touched a nerve with you. Do you have a kid you abandoned?

I raised a stepson from age 3, that was abandoned by his birth dad. His dad was a total dead beat but was given opportunities to be in his sons life. He choose not to be and it has always affected my stepson.

Read the second page where the OP said he agreed to give her 100% custody in exchange for no child support. He became a dead beat dad when he agreed to that. He gave up his son over money. Of course he can always reverse course on that and decide he does want to be in his sons life. It's the OP choice to decide if he wants his son growing up without him.

I was going to say that this sounds a little fishy. The guy is either hiding something or trolling.

His baby mama divorced him and took 100% custody in exchange for no payments, but the court said "ok sure handle it on your own?" Then she took the kid and moved to Dubai? Is the kid even a citizen over there? No one's lawyers spoke up and said "hey she could easily zip over to the UAE, you sure bro?"

Is your ex-wife an Emarati?

Serious question… can someone who is not a citizen just choose to move to Dubai?

Get legal council now! She’s going to come after you and the child support. And she’ll make you out to be the bad guy that never supported his child.


You should pay attention to this. You could end up never seeing your kid and also getting stuck with paying back years of child support down the road when she needs money. File some sort of paperwork to try to get rights to see your kid asap.

nope, I have just seen too many examples of a guy trying like hell to do the right thing, be a father, have a presence in the kids lives that is kicked in the nuts at every step by the ex and the court but being falsely labeled as a deadbeat dad

5 pages and the most important question needs to be asked. Where are the pics of the ex?

I’m skeptical of this story and it’s odd OP is bringing a fictitious story like this here. I imagine the real story is probably similar but with some different details.

OP - if you want a relationship with your kid - and it sounds like you do - then you move there. Make the other details work as you go. You might be a fish out of water, but at least you don’t leave a son you love fatherless and you finishing your life with regret.

Have not been in your situation but with all the facts that I know it would be beneficial to your health to probably reconnect down the line if you can get over mentally that it may be better for you and the boy in the long run.

Again, why do you care about her feelings. They are irrelevant to your question about being in your sons life.

I hate to say this but you really don’t know for sure you are the biological father. The fact that she isn’t seeking any child support, which really isn’t even waivable by her since the support is for the benefit of the child and can probably be raised anytime by him even 20 years later, is really concerning and suspicious to me.

I would highly recommend you get a swab sample or something to confirm this fact first.
Then if he is your biological son you have parental rights. Maybe you can keep him on holidays and summers etc.

At this point in the OP's story, I don't think any of that applies to this guy.

It's to hard for him to have to say goodbye each time for him to want to keep fighting. If this story is true, it feels like the OP is hoping someone will tell him its ok to abandon his son, because after all his ex wife hates him anyway.
