The courts are biased. Women are also assumed to be the "FIT" parent in 90% of the divorce cases across our country and this isn't an opinion. It's a fact. A dad doesn't have a chance if the mother wants custody, the courts give the children to the mothers just because.

In my case the mother walked out when our child was 2. Now 8 1/2 yrs later. I'm trying to get the child support paid and now she wants custody.  If i left her alone she would be very happy the way things are. but gee ask for child support and she wants custody. BS

you apparently don't have a clue. other than your OPINION. which is not based on the facts or court reality.

my ex hasn't paid child support in over 4 years and makes $87,000 a year, yes she's the "FEMALE".  I've paid over $8000 to have my case heard in court to order her to pay child support and I haven't even had a hearing yet and it's been 8 months. The judge keeps allowing her atty continuances for hearings. If it was a Father that was delq. on chid support in approximate amount of $43,200 the dad would be sentenced to jail but a 'Mother" is ok with not paying.

based your comments on facts not your opinion.

what are the contempt charges? what is she in contempt of? if she was to pay all arrears current would they disimss any contempt charges?

no we don't have a court order, i'm trying to get one established. My ex wife hasn't supplied one piece of clothing, school supplies, any finanical support towards our childs medical expenses or anything to help with her raising. I'm trying to get a child support order established for the benefit of our child.

What are the possible outcomes when a parent is delq. on child support pmts if they are found in contempt?

I've been fighting the court system it appears for now 7 strong months to get my ex-wife to pay child support that she hasn't paid in over 4 years. Each time we have it set for a hearing she files something to have it delayed or ask for a continuance, she asked for discovery which we complied, she filed a friviolus motion for contempt which was BS to say the least (it got thrown out of court).

Does anyone have any suggestions to at least get a temporary hearing? My atty has stated that we have to wait, but why do we have to wait on something she should be paying? My atty has advised me that if we get a temporary hearing, he thinks her atty will come forward and say, wait why do we need to pay child support we are now contesting custody.

this is what i have~
8 yrs of custody (Dad)
4 yrs of no child support
our child is a A&B student
our child excells in sports, art, music, reading
our child has great health
nice home in a upscale neighborhood.

why does it take 7 months I spend over $8000 so far on atty fees and haven't even had a temporary hearing to get her to pay child support???

Yes I believe you are correct. Isn't it amazing that a mom can get away without paying child support but a dad can't. I can't get my ex to pay anything and now she's contesting custody. GO FIGURE..

what state are you in?

my view is to fight for every penny your step son is entitled to. I'm a custodial dad and my ex hasn't paid anything for child support, medical or anything for our child in 8 yrs. NOW because i want child support she is contesting custody and trying to make the whole thing difficult. NOT to mention she live 600 miles away.. But the court in my county holds jurisdiction because we have always lived there.

fight for what the boy is entitled to have.....

That's not true a change of venue can simply be the fact the child has resided in a certain county for 6 months to a year that county would not have jurisidction over the case. Where the child lives is the place of the court.

Just curious how did you regain custody 3 years ago? how did you show a change in circumstance and what was the change?

Go for as much child support as you can get!!!

do you have documentation that she was going to agree to have the peition withdrawn?

I'm confused as why you was given supervised visitation when it was your brother. I would fight this to the fullest to get the time you deserve. If her alligeations are false I would sue her for slander and liable. People can't treat people the way you were done. It tarnishes your name and character.

I'm a dad who has had custody of my daughter since she was 2, she's 10 now. I'm currently in a battle with her mother. She hasn't paid child support for 4 yrs and now that i'm asking for it thru the courts she's trying to fight for custody.

My point to you is to FIGHT and I Mean FIGHT for your rights as a dad. Your child deserves you in their life, DON'T let anyone take that away from you! It's the child that Matters not us as parents it's all about the child. Adults can be selfish.

what state are you in?
