a mother has no rights even though i have been there for every tear. her father steps in and out of her life whenever it is convenient for him or child support catches up with him cause he nevers pays it. we have been fine without it and when i do get a check i give it to her. she is my life and i would not know what to do if she went to live with him. i really beleive that he only wants her so he won't have to pay support cause he took me to court on july 8th and the judge doubled his support that he is supposed to pay and hasn't and all the trouble with her started on july 14th which is the first weekend after that court date that she went to see him. why isn't there laws that help the parent that has been there all along to help solve these problems without being in trouble theirselves ther should be protection for us and the children to get justice done?

evidently flachic doesn't have kids or feelings. i work all the time. i have a full time job and the father works until child support catches up with him and then he quits his job i have never live off of the government and never will. i le\ove my daughter more than anything and i guess some people have their opinion and the rest of us have to just look over it.

I have been through this, too. At one time or another my ex convinced my children to live with him. It didn't last that long. They realized that he really had no time for them and came back to me. You have to trust your heart and your child.
The age of 15 is probably old enough that a judge would allow her to chose which parent she wants to live with. Don't put pressure on her. Make sure she knows she is aways welcome in your home and that you will always love her - no matter what.
That is what worked for me. They realized that I will always love them and make room in my life for them. They were gone for about 9 months then came back.

You can STOP handing over the child support to the child....DUH!!! It is about time you take responsibility for being a parent and don't think that the government should raise your kid. Don't worry about what her dad does.....you need to worry about what you do and, to me, you leave a lot to be desired in the parenting department!
