What is the name of your state: PA
My girlfriend and I had a child, 6yrs down the line things got sour. We separated and she made a false claim of abuse on my daughter and herself. She was awarded a protection order and had me put in jail for violation for two days for calling my cell phone which she had. At the end of it all everything was overturned, I was found innocent and granted sole custody, because based on evidence she was not a fit mother. Today 7yrs later, I still have full custody and her mother picks her up once a week, and maybe one day every wknd. She does not pay child support, does not buy her clothes, food, sneakers, uniforms..NOTHING! My only daughter is 13, misbehaving, lying, failing school, and performing acts of sex. I have done everything in my power to talk, advice, punish, but nothing worked, and so I lost control and hit her with a belt. Now I have lost temporary custody, have a restraining order, a DHS social worker, and a potential criminal record. This was all done by her mother, and I am at a loss as what to do. I am not an abusive father, I just made a mistake. What can I do
