Go fast to a lawyer whom your local department of human services recommends. You've got to have legal advice and there is usually free legal advice from DHS. Any answers on this site might hinder rather than help you as we don't know the law where you live. And the laws vary from state to state. The best of luck to ya'.

Why did you get pregnant again??? That was pretty stupid if you can't support the 3 you have!! Havent you heard of birth control???I don't understand people!! You'll have to get a lawyer, some of them work for free if you can't afford one look into it.

You will definitely need legal help here. Maybe you can get some legal aid? Some states you can get free legal assistance when you can show financial need.These situations are common, but nobody seems to want to do anything about it.

my son just turned 18 so my child support is soon to be a memory. contact your local social services or child support agency. sometimes, they get caught up in numbers of dollars they collect, not how much is appropriate in what situations. good luck to you.

To put you in jail is stupid, then noone gets anything. I'd see someone in legal aid if I was you. They may beable to help !!!
