What should I do? I found out that my ex-husband is on a dating site and posted our daughter's (she is 7)?

picture on it. Not only did he do that, but he posted my other daughter's pic on there (she is 12), all without my knowledge or permission. He also states that he makes 100,000.00/year, but I get crap in child support. I don't care about the other lies he has in his profile, but I don't want my girls' pics online for anyone to see! Should I tell him I know and demand he remove them? What if he doesn't? Should i also ask him about the money? What would you do?

    You are absolutely justified in your thinking. It is totally inappropriate for him to post the children's pictures on a dating site. I would very nicely say: "I understand you are very proud of our beautiful daughters and would like to show them off to the world however, a dating site is not a safe place to do this and I am really uncomfortable with it."

    As far as the child support goes, its best not to confront him especially while you are trying to get his compliance regarding the pictures. If you really believe he is making considerably more than child support knows about, then ask for a modification of child support and they will check his tax records and get him to comply.

    Best of luck with this!

    I would confront him about it first. If you share custody with him, then ask him to take the pictures offline, if you are the total custodian, then this is a issue you have the right to decisions of your children, all the decisions. I would consult an attorney, especially if you are not receiving child support and he is making a public claim that he makes that much money. Sounds like a bucket of horse sh*^ to me though. Maybe you should not confront him first, and get a lawyer who is good at collecting child support and document this. You can do a screen capture for evidence, that way he does not go in and erase the site before you have the "proof". To make a print screen all you have to do is hold Ctrl and then click on the Print Screen key on the keyboard, then go to an open Word document and paste it there. Either way, you have a right to decide if you young children's pictures are on line or not.

    I would tell him first to get the pictures off. Tell him that you know about the site. If he doesnt remove the pictures email the people that run the site and tell them that you want them removed. Or you could sign up and then i think there would be a place you can report abuse of the website, just do that and see if his account is deleted. There is no way of stopping him really as they are his daughters too, which is the sad part.

    Also let him lie, his only hurting himself. If he needs to lie in order to get a woman then....... im sure his going to find a nice woman that likes money and if he has none then shes not going to stick around.

    So you could either send something to the website or ask him to take them off. I wouldnt say anything about him lieing on there. Just ask him nicely to take the pictures of your girls off.

    The first thing you should probably do is calm down. He isn’t (I assume) posting their pictures in order to get them a date. He is using them to give potential dates a look into his life. I don’t know the details of his or your lives, but if neither of you have mental issues or “alternate lifestyles” then this is a perfectly rational thing for a man to do. They are a part of his life too. He probably loves them and likes to show their pictures. Also, legally, he has as much right to use their likeness as you do assuming that his parental rights have not been terminated.

    I am not naive and I know that there could be all manner of unseemly purposes behind his use of these pictures, but you have not given me any cause to believe that perversion is behind it. I think that your objection to his use of the pictures is based on a desire to be able to have the final say in the use of your children’s pictures. Unfortunately, I do not believe that you have this authority, legally speaking.

    So, my advice is to step back, look at it objectively and keep in mind that they are his kids too. If you still find it objectionable that he use the pictures, ask him politely to remove them. If he refuses, you may seek legal consultation, but I don’t think you’d have a case.

    I would certainly let him know,and demand that he remove the photos or if he would rather talk to the police or worst , Child Protective Services. About the money ,Print out his dating Ad and take it to your attorney to have the Child Support amount raised according to $100,000.00 that he claims he makes. Lots Luck, BR

    I can not belive that you are wondering if you should ask him to take it off. As a matter of fact you have a right to demand that he takes it off. Do you know how many sexual offenders that are online and they could be at this moment getting off on your childrens picture. If you have full custody of the children you can demand that he takes it off and if he does not you can report him to the police. Now if you have joint custody you can still report him to the courts it just may be a little bit harder. Either way if you are uncomfortable with your children picture being online you should ask that it be removed immediatly. As for the money who cares what he puts, that is his busniess but as for the children it is your responsiblity to protect them.

    best u probably can do is to take him to court with a copy of profile to prove they are on there.. explain to the judge that u dont think its appropriate especially this day and age of so many pedophiles..as far as the money, if he's lied about everything else on the profile what makes u think he's telling the truth about the amount of money he makes.. but if ur skeptical.. ask for a proof of income order to see what he's actually making and if the kids are entitled to more support ask for it..

    P.S. im assuming they are just casual pictures nothing perverse..that he put on a profile for him just showing he's got two kids.. so please make that clear, i see alot of people jumping to conclusions that these are perverse type pictures..or that he made a profile to get the "girls" dates.. which i dont think is what u intended to imply..

    i hate to shock you but every now and then people like to lie on the internet and make up stories about thier lives to make it seem more interesting. so he may not even be making close to what he says he is making,he probably say he is single and fun loving but you know it is not true, thats what people do on the internet they try to be someone they are not because no one will find out if he is telling the truth or not. also about the picutres, well dont forget they are his kids too, if he is putting thier pictures on inappropriate sites or using them for other reasons then i would be concrened and call the cops on him, but if he is on my space showing his kids off then thats ok, whats the big deal? you dont want the world to see your kids on the internet so do you hide thier face when they go out in public?i mean it is ok if he does that , as long as know one is contacting you about these girl in a sexual way or anything. i think it is ok. he isnt doing anything wrong, dont you want to show off your kids by showing strangers pictures of your kids when you brag about them?calm down and stop trying to find excuses for him being a bad dad.

    Print his profile including all the information and the section about it with his and your daughters pics on it. Then send it over to your attorney and make a declaration about it and submit it to the courts when u have ur next hearing.

  • You have other means to verify his income, I wouldn't worry about that here.

    However, your daughters are just as much yours as his, and you have every right to say something about the pictures on the internet. I would tell him to take them down if he has any decency at all.

    Even being his ex, I would think an appeal like this would reach him, because deep down, he's got to know that he's just using these pics to garner sympathy for himself. I can't imagine any dad that would prostitute images of his daughters around just to attract women and not feel ashamed of it.
