His Girlfriend Wants Him To Pay $2,000 For Her To Get A Lawyer And Fight For Custody Of Her Child
On the very first date this 27-year-old guy had with his 25-year-old girlfriend, she unexpectedly brought her child along.
He says, in hindsight, that should have been an enormous red flag to him, and he should have made a run for it, but he did the opposite.
He seriously started dating his girlfriend two months ago, and he’s only known her for about 10 weeks so far.
Three weeks ago, his girlfriend got documents in the mail stating that her ex filed to get full custody of her child, who is 17-months-old.
His girlfriend and her ex never got married and were together for approximately a year, including the time she was pregnant.
When his girlfriend’s child turned 9-months-old, his girlfriend’s ex pretty much walked away from the kid.
This guy lives 14 hours away, and he thinks it’s pretty interesting that all of a sudden, his girlfriend’s ex is gunning to get the kid full-time. His girlfriend has painted her ex in a bad light, but he suspects that’s not entirely true.
But the craziest part of this story is that his girlfriend is demanding he pay the $2,000 in legal fees she has to come up with to fight for custody.
His girlfriend works as a server and doesn’t make a lot at all, whereas he makes six figures a year, and she knows this.

His girlfriend is so tight on cash that she regularly overdraws her bank account by a few hundred dollars.
“This is CRAZY, right?” he wondered. “I really like this girl, but…this is a huge red flag. I just left her house and she barely even spoke to me, giving me the silent treatment the whole time and even went as far as not even telling me goodbye when I left.”
“Then, when I made it home, I let her know, as I always do, and she sent a long message saying I let her down and how her child isn’t important to me, etc.”
“I definitely feel like I should be running for the hills, but I also feel so guilty because the child is involved. I have the means to help, but I don’t feel it’s my responsibility this early on in the relationship. I’m at a loss for words right now. Thoughts and advice?”
