Olympic Medalist Miller, Over-reach

[CaféAuLait]

She went through the pregnancy, labor and delivery alone - and he can't even be bothered to call the child by his given name.

Speaking of battles, not only can they not agree on custody, but they can't even agree on a name -- with Miller calling him Nathaniel.

His name is Samuel.

She did not leave for NY until almost 8 months pregnant, he had filed for paternity before she left. So he obviously wanted something to do with his child before he was born and she was not forced to go through this along. She made the choice to leave. We don't know the whole story, but it's obvious he wanted his child given he filed for rights months for he was born. As for his name, who knows, maybe they decided on something together and or he did not agree with her choice for name. It does not make him a bad person.

 

[BDBoop]

No. It makes him a controlling dick.

 

[CaféAuLait]

No. It makes him a controlling dick.

To want to have a say in his sons name and joint custody of his son?

 

[BDBoop]

I'm sorry. He doesn't just get to call his son another name. He doesn't. It's not his name. It's not on his birth certificate.

Did he have a choice in the name of the child?

Did his ex-girlfriend even tell him the correct name of the child?

These are details we do not know 100% for sure, just to be clear.

I find the whole thing disturbing because it brings too much of the private into the public.

Blech...

I've been threatened with loss of my child, so yeah. I know that sick feeling, fight or flight. It doesn't matter if he had a choice. Until he goes to court and changes the child's name, he is calling the child whatever-the-hell he feels like.

I do not pity him or feel any compassion. He is being a complete and utter dick about this entire situation.

What a jerk.

Olympic skier Bode Miller begins latest round of bitter custody battle | Mail Online

The cross-country custody battle between Olympic gold medalist Bode Miller and his ex-Sara McKenna became so bitter that the skier decided to change the name she gave their child at birth - without her permission.

That is just one of the revelations to come out of the New York City Family Court over the past two weeks as proceedings started today that could ultimately swing custody back to 27-year-old McKenna.

Despite McKenna registering her son under his father's given name, Samuel Bode Miller-McKenna, the champion skier pointedly got permission from a Californian court to add Nathaniel as his middle name and now calls him Nate, instead of Sam, his birth name.

Well, I'm sure she's learning her lesson. I'd be tempted to go underground to get away from that jerk.

 

[CaféAuLait]

I'm sorry. He doesn't just get to call his son another name. He doesn't. It's not his name. It's not on his birth certificate.

Nate is Millers dead brothers name who died in a accident a few moths before his son was born. He wanted to name the baby as a tribute to him and has petitioned the court in California to add Nathaniel as his sons middle name.

 

[BDBoop]

Without the mother's knowledge or permission.

It's a dick move.

And what do you want to bet he has a son with his wife, and names that child Nate and resumes calling Samuel by his given name.

Sorry, he is not a jerk for wanting a say in HIS sons name at all. He petitioned the court for joint custody and paternity rights before the baby was born, it's obvious he wanted to be in his child's life.

 

[BDBoop]

He is a jerk. You can side with him all you want, if he was pulling this shit on a family member of yours, you'd be livid.

He didn't file for shared custody. He tried (and succeeded!) to take an infant away from his mother. Class act, that.

 

[CaféAuLait]

And? She named HIS son without his permission. Once the child is born it is no longer only the mothers choice. It's a life and therefore he also gets a say and was obviously trying for that input far before his son was born.

 

[BDBoop]

Oh, why don't you just go on without me? Supply your own facts, pat yourself on the back, have a good night.

What a load of tosh.

No, he filed for joint custody, a NY judge ruled his ex was wrong for leaving the state of California and sent the case to California where they gave miller custody based on the NY judges ruling, and gave full custody to Miller. A decision which was reversed.

One could argue she is being a jerk for wanting full custody as well stripping him of his rights. The custody dispute has been settled, it is joint custody for the time being, as was petitioned for. He has the child now while his ex finishes her schooling and she says she is happy with the decision! Why are you so angry about it?

I just read your article which states SHE broke it off with him because he wanted a large family and SHE did NOT... She left him because he wanted a family, which he stated at the onset of their relationship according to her, and when he petitions the court to assure he has the family be desired he is the bad guy?

She claimed that when the couple met through a dating website, Miller had said he wanted a large family with her...

After they met in California, they went their separate ways, and she said he was reluctant to continue a relationship because he wanted a large family, and she did not.

Olympic Medalist Bode Miller, gets woman (McKenna) pregnant, dumps her, marries another woman (Beck), gets her pregnant, then Beck miscarries, and he sues McKenna for custody of the child. It gets worse.....

McKenna and Miller were living in California when they were dating, but she moved to New York after he dumped her, to go to school. A judge accused her of moving to keep Miller from the child and awarded him custody!

Fortunately another court overturns that decision, but it's not over. He couldn't be bothered to go with McKenna to the ultrasound, but now wants custody.

I for one am glad that he's not doing so well in the Olympics....

Do you think he should get the child?

A woman gets pregnant in California by a famous athlete she is casually dating, decides to go to college in New York—tuition paid by the G.I. Bill—and after she moves there, before the baby is born, gets blasted by a New York judge for “her appropriation of the child while in utero,” which the judge calls “irresponsible” and “reprehensible.”

A New York appeals court has already overturned the ridiculous initial judicial order in this fight between Sara McKenna, 27, a former Marine and firefighter now attending Columbia University, and Bode Miller, 36, an Olympic skier. But the case isn’t over, and it’s the latest fascinating entry in a series of legal challenges by fathers to traditional assumptions about parental rights and child custody. The old legal problem for single mothers was deadbeat dads. The new one is fathers who are so eager to assert themselves that they run roughshod over women’s rights. As the adults clash, sometimes it even becomes hard to consider the child at the center.
Bode Miller custody battle: New York family court made a terrible ruling for women?s rights, and took fathers' rights too far.

Now that he has opened this door she just needs to counter sue him for child care and abandonment. Oh, and if they were living together for more than 6 months under CA law then that made her his common law wife (if I recall correctly) which means she is entitled to alimony too.

Two can play the court games and judges usually favor the mother so I suspect that this jerk might end up losing more than he gains. With this publicity I can see one of the high profile lawyers like Allred jumping in and taking up her case pro bono.

Um, They never lived together, they dated sporadically and SHE left him because HE wanted a large family - HER statements ( see article BD Boop posted above). She left him and "abandoned" ( since you used the word) him for NY when she was almost 8 months pregnant after becoming pregnant in Florida and having sex only 2 times ( again her statements) HE asked her to come back before filing the paternity suit prior to the baby being born. She stated he told her in the beginning of the relationship he wanted a big family and that is why she did not want a relationship. BUT tried to strip him of that right after his son was born and even argued he should not be granted joint custody of his son.

I haven't seen this other link you are talking about but this quote says volumes about the guy in question.

In June, Miller told McKenna he wouldn’t come with her to an ultrasound because “U made this choice against my wish,” according to a text she released from him.

So he wasn't in the slightest bit interested in his own son until his latest partner wasn't able to have a child of her own. Now suddenly he switches from deadbeat dad to devoted dad?

He strikes he as the selfish sort who won't be around to see his son graduate high school let alone college. But that is just my opinion of him. There are plenty of divorced dads who are not deadbeats and who do play an active role in the lives of their children but this guy isn't one of them.

That's HER claim. She also claims that SHE left him over the fact he wanted children. A bit strange if you ask me. I'm unsure how you can argue he wasn't the slightest bit interested in his child given miller filed for paternal rights before his son was even born.

You say, "he suddenly wants to be a part of the baby's life" when in fact he petitioned for a paternity suit naming him as father to gain parental rights BEFORE his son was born. IN fact he begged her to return to California before his son was born. When she refused he filed suit to share custody after the baby's birth. She said NO, he then argued that he should not have custody because he believed that she moved to gain better rights since NY generally supports mothers over fathers and he won that suit. He was given Custody of his son shortly after his birth. Then that ruling was overturned when his son was 9 months old and his mother gained custody. They have now decided on joint custody for the time being.

As far as your other claim he was not interested in his child until his wife miscarried, he filed the paternity petition in 2012 BEFORE his new wife miscarried. The timeline in the op is off.

Oh and BTW the article I referenced posted by BDBoop is in in post 27 of this thread so you can get a peek at it and see Millers ex claims they only had sex twice and that she broke it off with Miller since he told her he wanted a large family, even before they began dating.
