Where is the Support for the Fathers?

by Nicole
(Palestine, TX)

I recently married my husband knowing about his past child support issues. He has a son from his ex. Every time we go get him for visitation, he is dirty, smells, and his clothes are to small. This frustrates us because she gets $615.00 a month in child support. Plus, he is paying extra because a judge suspended payments for 10 months. So he is paying for back payments. We take pictures every time we get him in those conditions. And we would love to take FULL custody of him. He cries hysterically when we tell him we're going to drop him back off at his mom's house. I know something is wrong in her household, but I can't prove it. When we drive away my husband cries, because he wants to take him away from there. What can we do to prove she is not a fit parent for him? And gain full legal custody of him.






I can only imagine the situation that you and your husband are going through. Seeing that something is wrong and not being able to do anything about it can be rough. IMO, I would continue to fight for custody, I would continue to take pictures of the clothes that he wears, and I would have faith that one day his son will live in a household where he is loved and cared for properly.-Webmaster

I recently got custody of my son after I believed he was being mistreated. In my case, his grandmother became my allie. Chances are if he is being mistreated, someone else has noticed too, and for the sake of the child will help you gain custody.

There are some mothers out there that are just so unbelievably hateful of their ex-spouses that they take it out on the defenseless child. The child not only needs to be seen by CPS, but also a medical doctor and psychologist. Even taken to the police department and have an abuse report filed immediately. In the meantime the child could feasibly go into emergency foster care if unable lawfully to be kept by the biological father. Action should be taken swiftly, like within the hour.

Take your pictures to the child protective services. Ask them to be available when you pick him up so they can see for themselves. This IMHO is child abuse.
