Help Services for Dads
I had been unemployed for 8 months, and went into a deep depression because I was having such a hard time finding one. I could not provide support for my 8-year old daughter, of which her mother has custody. I would, however, buy her things she needed, when I could find odd jobs. About 1-1/2 months ago I was blessed with a job, and I was so happy. Of course, the child support started up again, which was good. However, I was then taken into custody the week of Christmas, with no chance of getting out without paying at least $6,000. My daughter was devastated, as was I. I love my daughter very much and am a good father. I just do not have a high-paying job right now, but I am determined to keep working on it. My question is: How can I do this if I am in jail for 6 months? Who is benefiting; I will be another 6 months' behind, and I also lost the job that I had such a hard time getting, as well as losing contact with my precious daughter?????????? I have no money for a lawyer---Are there any services out there to help dads such as myself???
Not a "deadbeat" dad and don't want to be one
