My wife has had custody of our 17-year-old daughter for 11 years now. I was ordered to pay child support upon divorce and my wife was given custody. I was very loyal on my payments and even gave tons extra to cover my daughter's life growing up. When the economy started heading downhill, I lost my job as a realtor. I picked up odd jobs here and there but could not and cannot make payments anymore. My wife has since remarried and had 3 additional kids with that man. He makes plenty of money but they still tell my daughter that they can’t afford her because I no longer pay them. I found out from my daughter that none of the money was ever spent on her, going towards my ex-wife's expensive clothing tastes. My daughter now works and her step father takes money from her bank account and puts it in a fund he says is necessary to raise her. She is not allowed to visit me at all and her mom and step dad threaten her that she will have to quit her job if she doesn't take more time taking care of her mom and step dads kids. I don’t know what to do to rescue her they treat her like Cinderella. She does every thing so that her mother can laze around the house... HELP!!! I don’t know what to do to save my daughter.
Being we only have your side of the story , this is the only advice i have for you.
Have you daughter tell a family court judge what you told us here,even if it is not in the county that you are living in.They are bound by LAW to report it. And then have the daughter go to child protective service with the same story to get her money back and have the mother(who is taking out her anger of you out on your daughter)investigated .
I understand the stepfather being an asshole ,But the scumbag of a wife needs to step to the plate and be a fucking mother and protect her daughter ,the only problem I might see YOU having here is that you might be in arrears with the state (thats who pays child support when the parent cant ) and they might come up after you. Either way you cant take blood from a stone .

An idea!! by: Anonymous
She is 17 right. She can legally leave home and come live with you. If that what she wants. Tell her to come live with you. That right there really rubs me the wrong way because the ex wife needs to grow up. I feel for you man!!!
