how long do I wait to enforce child support payments?
Posted by admin in Uncategorized on July 6, 2010
I have been divorced since December however we were separated since 2006. My ex has not paid any child support in that whole time. He is an alcoholic who has got and lost jobs, got and lost places to stay. He is currently in a “rehab program” which was ordered by court from an assault charge right after we divorced. I was granted custody of our 3 children and he has supervised visitation for 8 hrs on weekend. Which has been sporadic because he was in jail until April. I have been supervising on the few occasions(It has not been every weekend and not always for 8 hrs) because I don’t know anyone else to do it. He is staying in what is basically a homeless shelter where his “rehab” is taking place. I don’t know how much longer he has in the program. When should I enforce the child support? Should I wait until he is out of the shelter and has a job? How do I do this?
Am I right to stop visitations and wait for him to take me to court?

I have been court ordered to give visitations to my children’s father. He is a recovering addict. (Hooked to drugs) He is currently in a half-way house to sober up for the time being. This is his 4th trip to a rehab type program.
I have reason to believe from my daughters mouth that he has touched her.
He doesn’t plan his visitations until the day before visitation so I can’t plan anything for my day until the day of.
He has made me late for work 3 times for not showing up on time for pick up.
He has a violent past against me. I have a restraining order against him.
According to the parenting guidelines in my state he is legally suppose to give me his address and refuses to.
He has taken the kids over to a womans house that we both know has done and sold drugs before.
(His brother took them over there today)
He was suppose to take the kids to church to observe Easter Sunday and did not take them as he promised he would.
He has also admitted that he calls the kids for an excuse to talk to me.
I have spoken with an attorney and he said I could stop visitations but i could get caught with contempt although every thing I have it should get thrown out.
I am trying to protect my kids and the courts here aren’t helping.
