Hey, this is Sam.

0:01.1

This is John.

Your OG OK Storytime podcast host. And we got some great stories coming up. Before that, we have a quick two-minute break from the sponsors that keep the show a lot. This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. My ex-wife opened credit cards in my name. She said I'd never see my son again if I called the police. And that's when you call the police.

0:23.1

This is a sad situation, but after my divorce, I ended up moving about 30 miles away where I bought a house and got a job transfer.

0:30.3

The divorce was finalized about four years ago.

0:32.9

She got primary custody as she lives in the school district, though I got most weekends and holidays. By the way, this comes from credit throwaway too, and if you want to submit your own stories, go to our slash Okee Storytime, subreddit. Oh, we've been fairly cordial about it and it's been working for a while. Eventually, I'd like to get to a 50-50 as she'll be moving to a different school district once he hits high school shortly, and I just move into that district.

0:58.3

My problem is that my ex has opened up a couple of credit cards in my name.

1:00.3

That's a big stinking problem. Yeah, yeah, I wonder what the people in charge of dictating custody would have to say about that.

1:07.0

I had no idea this was happening until I received a letter from a collection agency.

1:11.4

It was pretty obvious. She was the one who opened the accounts as the addresses on the accounts are

1:16.6

hers. And it looks like the statements are mainly from where she shops. When I dropped our son off on

1:21.5

Monday, I told her I found the accounts and I'd have to go to the police unless she paid them off

1:26.6

completely right away. She denied it at first. Ben said if I went to the police unless she paid them off completely right away.

1:28.3

She denied it at first.

1:29.8

Then said if I went to the police, she'd disallow visitation for safety reasons.

1:34.3

Unfortunately, she'd be able to do this and has done so in the past, requiring me to go

1:39.2

back to court with my lawyer to force her to follow the parenting agreement.

1:43.2

That's how I gained all holidays shortly after the divorce, basically as a punishment for

1:47.5

failing to comply with the parenting order, but still allowing her to be the custodial parent.

1:52.1

So potentially, if you went back to court, you'd probably get more custody.

1:55.8

Yeah.

1:56.2

If she did this.
