The two things are separate issues. The child support is for the child, not for your ex-wife and it has to be per the existing court order no matter what. Child support can be modified in Family Court. So, if your ex took off with your daughter and you did not know where to send support checks and she was not in touch with you or the court trying to get it, you could possibly have the retroactively modified in Family Court by filing a motion.\n\nYour ex is guilty of kidnapping. The same Family Court Judge can issue a bench warrant for her arrest that the DA has to act on if you file a motion. He is going to ask you why you didn't do this 7 years ago which is a pretty good question. Normally, the warrant in cases like this is satisfied by getting the child back into the state. Arrests are rare. Now, that your daughter is not a minor, probably nothing will be done.\n\nGet an attorney to help you file these things and argue before the judge.

Don't try to use the kids against her. That's probably what she does, but if you do the same, it will only make things worse. On the other hand, you might have to fight dirty. Don't be dishonest, and don't ever show your anger, but the courts don't reward chivalrous conduct. If you have money, then hire a lawyer with a successfully pro-father track record. If you don't have money...well, I don't know what to tell you then. I hope I never have to face what you are going through.

I wouldn't think she could do it, not without going to court and making a big deal of it.  The best way for you to get this answered accurately, though, would be to see a lawyer.  Most of them offer a free one or two hour consultation, and that ought to be enough time to get this figured out.  Just do a little bit of research before you do it, to make sure you talk to someone who deals with this kind of stuff regularly.  I hope this works out well for you.

Whats your criminal record? Do you have any priors? If you are clean, you should speak to the District Attorney assigned to the case. You can call the DAs office, give them your name and they will be able to hook you up with the DA involved. But you need to be straight with them on what went down and they may or may not make a deal with you, depending on your record.

You may need to discuss your problems with the police or a police detective. If they view your case and feel there is something, they can get the District Attorney to file charges.

Have you been arraigned on this charge?  If the DA is going to file charges then you will need to hire an attorney.  If you can't afford an attorney a Public Defender will be appointed on your behalf.  You will have a Preliminary hearing where the judge will determine if the DA has enough evidence to take the case to trial.  To be convicted a jury must find you guilty beyond a reasonable doubt based on the evidence.\n\nYou have not provided enough information to get an honest opinion of your guilt or innocence and the likelihood of a conviction based on the evidence the authorities have.  You are leaving a lot out of the story.

Send her a certified letter about your intentions of picking up the kids. Actually show up at the designated time and have a witness.  Bring your written visitation decree along with you and notify the local sheriff's office of your intention to enforce the divorce decree.  Keep a written book of all of your attempts to visit your kids. If you find her new phone number, record all future calls.  Gather your child support receipts in a shoe box if you don't pay through the Court.  File contempt of court charges.  If you can't afford a lawyer, be willing to represent yourself in court.I spent $40,000 to get visitation for my husband.  I was the new wife and I kept good records and tape recordings and if I had to do it again, I would have represented him myself.  After 2 years he won visitation and it was very complicated...Don't stop paying child support and read the Book of Psalms in the Bible....

You have to know and demand your rights, as does your attorney (most don't).\n\nHave him file a motion to dismiss based on the speedy trial rule...\n\nThat usually works.

your state must not have a scale that is used based on her income and your income. dont go to jail. go to court. have the younger son talk to the judge alone in chambers. it can make all the difference. your attorney can set it up with out her knowing until the last minute. fight for your kids. hope your older son gets better soon.

If you can't afford a lawyer, you can call & get the 1st consulation free. Stay on the cops butts & pester the D.A. until the do their jobs & put him in jail. Then you should get full custody again. Good luck!

Why not contact and attorney and have him/her find out for you?  You might have to pay a fee but at least you would know.  I do not think the police would give you that info over the phone and short of going there and asking, an attorney might be the best option.

If he ever threatens you with bodily harm or anything, file for a restraining order or protective order.  Given his criminal history, it may be possible for him to only be allowed court supervised visitation of the child.  You were right to demand that he only see the child during the court oredered visitation.  Do not feel one bit guilty about that.  As for the money, if the child is old enough to listen to what he says, the child is old enough to listen to what you say as well.  Tell the child that the money is what he is required to pay for supporting his child and it is not stolen, but is his responsibility to pay so you can feed the child.  That is honest.  Don't bad-mouth the father to the child.  Just state the facts without emotion.  Kids are pretty smart and can put it together. :o)\n\nDo be careful.  You might consider making sure you have good locks on your home and keep it locked all the time to protect yourself.  The law is on your side, so stick to it.  Don't play his game.  I told my ex that I wasn't his wife anymore and didn't have to fight with him, but that he could contact my attorney and/or the state child support office.  They get paid to deal with him so I don't have to.  You don't have to fight with your ex either.\n\nIf he ever threatens you bodily in any way.... take legal action immediately.  Do not hesitate to call the police and file a protective order.  We all have heard the horror stories of what twisted men do to women they supposedly "loved" at some point.  Be careful and use wisdom.\n\nBest Wishes,\n\nSue
