If you have the kids for more than six months out of the year, you can claim them.  If you contribute more than half of the support, then you can claim them.  IRS will let whoever can't claim them  know in  a heartbeat.  They did us.  We could claim them , his ex couldn't.

A lawyer cannot physically keep children anywhere.  If you had a custody agreement that required the father to stay in the state, then you should contact the local Sheriff's Office and they will act accordingly.  \n\nDid the father take the child out of state to live or visit?  If to live, again, contact your sheriff.  He will have much more power to have the father bring the children back.  All the attorney could do is go to court and have the court tell the sheriff to find him.  This way, you cut out a step and get your children back quicker.  Good luck.

You need to go to the court house family division and file for a court date.  Then contact a lawyer and they will file for temporary custody of the kids  till the judge decides what is best for them. The lawyer should be covered by legal aid especially if there is no income.  Tell her to get a job even if it's through a temporary agency for the time being, it will help keep her mind off of it, and will also show the judge that she is able to support the kids. Tell her to put the utilities in her name to establish a credit rating.  The cops will not go after him for the kids until she has it in place that temporary custody is hers. They don't consider it kidnapping since he is the father. Tell her to call children's services in her area and let them know of his problems and what has occurred they can help in getting the children back.  Been in the same situation so if you need more help just contact me.

Just try to stay neutral when the kids ask why daddy isn't there.  You don't want them to remember you "bad mouthing" their father, even if what you say is true.  I do not know how old they are, but as they grow up, they will see and figure out what is going on.  Just always assure them that it is not their fault, and that you are there for them.

If it's not his dad, keep clear.  Maybe he's taking over a dad's responsibility.  Keep clear again.  This kid will need a dad.  If his 'dad' is doing everything a dad needs to to then leave well alone.  Don't cause friction.  If the kid is happy with the arrangement, leave well alone.  They'll work it out in the future.  Don't interfere.  Let fate take it's toll without your input.

Why did they claim you?  By' 'claim' I assume you mean as a dependent.  This would have lowered their tax liability and increased their refund. So why did they claim you?\n\nAnyway, it's their return and if they don't want to share that information with you then you are out of luck.  the refund is theirs so if they don't want you to know then about the only thing you can do is to throw a temper tantrum.\n\nI throw temper tantrums all the time and I usually take it out on inanimate objects, like plastic CD cases.  I always feel much better after I clean up all the broken plastic.

Just pay your child support. You helped create them, now take responsibility for them.

i so feel for you, best bet is to go back to the courts and ask for a child welfare assessment..........that way they will talk to you, talk to him [the father] and talk to the child as best as he can.........at the best they might even come and observe a hand over from you to the dad............state that it is NOT your intention to keep them apart but the emotional trauma you have to deal with taking him and then the aftermath of the child being so upset is really not worth it.................just a question but WHY was they supervised at first and who decided that should change ???

Sorry buddy but you will have to pay it all.  It does not matter how old you child is now. Or even if the new dad is claiming him. All a judge is going to see is that you owe. Just because they may not need the money now they needed it then and did not get it. I know it was hard. It is for most fathers and mothers who have to pay. You can try. But I don't think its gonna go through.

Keep them. Although, if you were to offer them back, it would give a final nice impression. Throw in an apology, and you'll haunt him for a while.

Sorry, you're out of luck.  If you gave them to him as a gift, then they are legally his.

Yes, you need to take this deadbeat to court.  I don't know where you live, so it I can't give you any specific advice, but every city has people (usually in the family assistance office) that can help you with the paperwork.\n\nYou may not want to see this guy again, but your child--HIS child--needs financial support, and you should get it for your daughter.

If you file jointly then you won't get what's owed to you. File separately if you want your money.\nOf course the big question is why isn't he paying his child support?

YOU NEED TO GET THE DIRT ON HIM, IF HE IS BAD PROVE IT THEY WILL NOT GIVE CUSTODY TO SOMEONE WHO CANT TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES, FIGHT FOR YOUR KIDS AND WHEN YOU WIN TAKE HIM FOR ALL HE'S GOT. I AM TIRED OF DEAD BEAT DADS TRYING TO RUN FROM THIER RESPONSIBILITY'S. HE NEEDS TO BE A MAN OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES

Dont let this one go - I think the courts take enough of our rights away as fathers - take it to court, prove your relationship and fight for custody over the kids...

First off Autumn, why does he have the kids in the first place?  If your parents are providing you a loving good place to be, and they agree to help support these kids while you get on your feet, and they have a good relationship with these kids, then there is no reason that he can take the kids...kids need to be with their moms and judges know this, and most moms would have to do a really bad deed, or show poor poor reasoning to lose their kids.  What, after all, is he going to give the kids any better than you do...if he is keeping the home, he surely has to work to pay for it..who is there to take care of the kids while he does so?  My biggest advice to you right now-take out pen and paper-write down everything he says and does to you that will reflect negatively towards him, that he says about you and the kids, including verbal, physical abuse, and threats-  give it to your lawyer. If there is abuse, there needs to be a police report.   Show just cause that you can take care of these kids, and that your family is willing to help.  Dont be caught dead in any place that you would regret being seen,  take good care of the kids hygiene wise and show that they are being loved.  Good Luck!
