I am going through a divorce and custody battle and am absolutely baffled and sickened by the whole mess. My husband walked out on me and our three children two years ago. We were evicted from our house becuase he would not pay child support. He was a raging drug addict and alcoholic and then he got his grilfriend pregnant two weeks after he left. I filed for a divorce and child support and he quit his job so he wouldnt have to pay. He is now $30,000 behind and we live with my mom becuase I cant afford to support us in California. I tried to move to a cheaper state and now all of a sudden he has money and is paying money so we stay. By the way he is married to the other girl now and they have two children even though we are still married. Now I am being forced to stay where I cant afford, he gets more custody though he didnt use all his visitation and I dont even get to see my kids on Christmas this year. WTF??? I have been with my kids since they were born.

He passed one test for the court and now he is untouchable. Nobody said anything about the fact that he is a bigomist. He made up a bunch of lies about me and swayed the court with money. He lives in a really nice part of our county and me and the kids will live in a dump with the amount he is ordered to pay even with me working full time. I cannot beleive the injustice in this. Is there anything I can do???

You need to get a good lawyer. It sounds like your rights are being overlooked. I'm also at the end of a divorce and have two children myself. I get no support from the Ex. Being a single mom is hard...but life for me is better and happier. Find a way to support your kids without him....it doesn't sound like you can count on him. You'll find happiness....it just takes awhile to show up. Good luck, and your kids will appreciate the sacrifices you make.

Get a lawyer.

He is not legally married to the other woman if he hasn't divorced you. You can press bigamy charges and throw him in jail.

You can get a court order that will stop his visitation if he doesn't get current with his support. He can also be jailed if he is in arrears and is making money but not coming current with child support. Either way you need to plead your case to a judge with proper representation.

If money is a consideration, find a legal aid society (call a local law school to recommend one) that can provide no-cost/low-cost representation.

In the meantime, get what education you need to support yourself, he still owes child support even if you live in a different state. Don't be a slave to someone whose employment history is shady at best.

I'm confused, is it possible for him to married to the other woman if he's still married to you? Also, if you are still married I wouldn't think he'd have to pay child support. Get a divorce and take him to court for back child support!!!! I don't see how a judge let's him have your kids after the drinking, drugs and not paying child support. Do you have a job? Is your mom helping you?
