Gemelli Enterprises Beware of singles ads and DEAD BEAT DADS a big fraud
This reported was raising a child as a single parent. Feeling that two parent households have more to offer a child I looked for a single father to team up with. I was hoping for a knight in shining armor or at least a nice guy. I thought I had found one.
To make this story short > We married and became a two parent family. He and his two children and me with my one. The time went by and I found that this man was not honest in business. Was abusive to his children. Had married many times only to have the woman leave. The children were neglected over his own desires and needs. He spent much time on the internet seeking new wives to be in line when the present one was ready to leave. When I was unable to allow anymore degrading or abuse of his children or mine, I decided to leave the marriage and become a single parent again. This time is different though.
The children asked the divorce judge to let them live with me. They told of the abuse and neglect and the judge has heard them. The kids are with me. There is an order for support and the dad won't pay anything to help care for his children. I have lost my job recently due to the interuption of being served legal papers at work, being out of work to defend myself in court, and then when he kept breakig the restraining order, we had to move to get away from him, I hurt my spine during the move.
I am now on medical treatment but my job won't wait for me. I love the kids and want them to be safe. I just think it is a rip off that he won't even pay the child support as ordered so his kids won't have to be on welfare. The abuse was enough that the judge placed the children in the custody of the State child protection services. The judge then gave me only physical custody. So the agency would place them in foster care (again) if I can't take care of them.
This DAD is so selfish he doesn't care what happens to the kids. All he is doing now is looking for the next wife on the internet singles clubs. BEWARE of this man. He tends to use the screen names of "mgemelli" or "mgemelli46" or some variation. He is a fraud also. He says he is self employed. When he wants to impress you he will talk about all the money he can make as a make-up artist. This same man will go into court and say he hasn't been able to work and has no money. He just bought 2 new cars and he was on welfare before I married him yet he had $40,000. in the bank (kept it in escrow so they couldn't find it). He is a big fraud.

The problem is the law. Women do not want to send there husbands to jail and make family life worse.

The law should offer help in other ways where a child could even ask for this help. The facts are this man has a problem . The law did not offer him a way to save his marriage and children . The point is even though this man was a terrible husband and father does not mean the laws should be set up as if all fathers are in this group and take the rights of all fathers away.
To take your children from you even from a man like the one described above is not right. The law is set that one parent has to be removed from children they saw everyday to now visitation of every other weekend. Then if the other parent decides not to allow the other parent this (which is about 77% this happens) it will cost a lot of money to get a court to change it. The facts are the law does little about the visitation of the children.
The law should promote sharing children and have rules set in place that if daily sharing the parties have to agree to live within so many miles of one another, and the child attend one school. The rules should also be set that each parent offer a safe place in which the children are shared. Parents should not be allowed partners that are live ins unless they marry. Rules that sharing cannot take place out of state until the child is of a certain age. A mediator should be assigned to work out arrangements that become a problem and this mediator should do random checks and give the parents an chance to correct any problems the mediator finds them before it is reported to the court. The child should be able to call the mediator. This gives jobs to all those child support workers out there. The well being of the child should be the concern of the court.. If either parent becomes violent or does not cooperate with the sharing or somehow places the children in harm way or the children are harmed in a parents care , then the courts should decide if the sharing should continue. The parent who causes the sharing to end then should be ordered to pay support and be reduced to visitation.
This way both parents are given the chance to be a part of the child's life and the parents actions will decide if they lose that right.
This arrangement may have even worked with the case mentioned above. The father may have changed in order to be in his children's life, the fact is the father should have been given the opportunity to try. People should not lose rights because of divorce and the fact is both parents have the same rights to their children. In this country rights are taken away when the party has done something to cause this right to be removed. To stop loving a spouse does not stop the love to the children. Love is a right in its own.
