In 2004,my son was taken from me and placed in a foster home.I've been paying child support since,and the mother has never payed a dime.In Nov. 2005,the mother was placed in a state hospital group home by a judge for her mental problems.In Feb. 2006,the court refused me custody,and terminated my parental rights.My son is developmentally delayed,doesn't speak,and has autism.Their decision to terminate my rights were based on the belief that I,being a single parent to him,would not be physically and emotionally capable of meeting his special needs...doctors visits, therapy/learning classes,etc. They felt that with my job and hours,that I would be too stressed out to be there for him.
So,if my parental rights were terminated in Feb. 2006,and have not been allowed to see him since because they also terminated the right to have visits,why am I still obligated to pay support?Isn't it the courts problem to pay the foster parents now and am I entitled to receive monies paid since Feb. 2006?
