What is the name of your state? Massachusettes
hmmm i think my topic got lost somewhere..but my question really didnt get answered...so bear with me as i ask again in a different phrase.
O.k here goes...I have a 9 yearold son and i never married the father. The dept of revenue child support enforcement division...(of Massachusettes as that where i lived at the time.) took my childs father to court...for child support as i had to go on welfare back in "97"...no visitation or custody was set up for the father( i checked thecase file with a lawyer) Well, after 6 years of excuses of why he cannot and WILLNOT pay chils support(yup he refuses!) I finally decided to take legal action.
Child support was ordered in Massachusettes...i now live in Canada. I am married and am 4 months pregnant in a high risk pregnancy(due to past miscarriages) And for some strange reason...my child's father does not want to setup a legal visitation order and STILL isnt paying child support...So my lawyer suggest that i have DOR file contempt charges on my son's father for not paying child support...and i am thinking about it.
It now gets complicated...after 9 months of being out of massachusettes(the lawyer said) the state no longer has juristiction of my son.My son's father is refusing me my son's passport to complete our immigration here in Canada.Says he wont let me have it unless i hand deliver our son to him for visitation.
Now my husband is refusing me to go..says he will not allow me to leave becuz i might have problems getting back into Canada and my doctors are in canada.Plus there is no order set tp prevent my son's father from kidnapping my son. Hubby says that if my son's father is going to be that way he will put an order on me saying that i cannot leave while pregnant with his child. Now theres pressure on both the lawyer and the hubby to have the father do jail time for practically never paying chils support.
But what will happen once hes in jail? how will get my sopn's passport? what happens to my son's father's right while he's in jail? he doesnt have any form of custody or visitation? Can a father deny a passport while he's incarcerated?
DOR told me i never needed the father or the states permission to leave massachusettes as they were the ones going after child support not me...so i am not here illegally as there is no order telling me i have to remain in the state.Whats My rights if the Father refuses to exercise his rights in fear of being found by the legal system???
Sorry this is long but am stuck and the lawyer isnt giving much info...My childs anddddd my husbands and my life are on hold becuase of this and so is my unborn child's
