Here the situation: SORRY THIS IS LENGTHY - INSIGHT PLEASE
Son is 10 yrs. old. Visitation court order for e/o Thursday and Fridays established March 2001. Dad agreed to no overnights at the courthouse with son and me. Dad picked son up on his Thursday. I paged Dad for son to got get blood work and he could take him back with him. Dad ignored me and brought son home 5 hours later. The next day, which was his day, I took son to get his bloodwork done. Dad called me that day before I could say anything I was all kinds of bad names. That Sunday was Mother's day we saw dad at his Aunt's house and he did not speak to me or my son. That Wednesday(not his day or week to get son) he picked son up from school early and would not let my son call me to say he got him. My son usually walks 4 blocks to my mother's house. He never showed up. I paged dad 10 times...no answer. Usually he will let my son call me when he gets him. I got scared and called the police to report my child missing. The first person they ask about is the other parent. The cops went to his house the first time and he peeped out the window and waved his hand. The second time his girlfriend was there and she paged him he bought my son to my mom's house. I swear, I know I have differences with this man, but I would have never called the police if I knew he had him, I asked him why he didn't let my son call me and why didn't he call me back from the pages. He never answered. After that incident which was May 16, 2001, he would not call my son. Prior to this court order he was not paying child support or coming or calling son that much. He took me to court because his driver's license was getting suspended for not payment of child support. $25 a week...he would not pay. He had a car, jeep, and living the good life. He would go up to my son's school to get his motorcycle that was in a garage across from the playground. My son said he would not even speak sometimes. He could go get the motorcycle, but could not pick him up scheduled days. Wednesday just passed July 3rd, he came to my new home cussing and yelling and calling me names because he received child support papers in the mail. Our case is going for a review for an increase since son is older. He don't want to make arrangements with the courts to give me more money. This is a man who only pays because he is made to pay. He would go to the school and make broken promises to son. The other day he told me that he going downtown to tell the judge that I kept his son from him by violating the court order for a year. He was seeing at the school and lying to him. Why didn't he utililize his visitation? He was getting him from the school all the other times. My son was so upset because he say he don't call my son because he hates me and I am crazy. He was calling my son when he wanted to in the past. I know he is wrong, but I called and told him I had a ticket for him for our son's graduation. I got there first, he came later and sat next to me. The whole time he kept nagging and picking, making gestures. Two weeks ago, he wanted to come over 10 o'clock and I said no that is not a good time to visit your son. He took him after graduation that Friday and came and got him on Monday. My son came home so upset because he tried to make him spend the night and he didn't want to. He told me if I accept an increase for payments, he will have me locked up for contempt of the court order and he will get custody and don't have to pay anything. My son asked me the other day...Why don't he come here to see how I am doing, but he came to argue about doing more for me? My son saw him yesterday, he looked my son in the face and did not even speak to him. I calculated from last May and next week is his week to get him. I left him a message to call me Wednesday with a time. PLEASE TELL ME...DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG? He got this same paperwork in the mail in the past, but he would not send it back. They mean business this time. Maybe he is mad because I hear that his main girlfriend is pregnant, but what does that have to do with the support of my child. He keeps telling me my son is scared to talk about him to me, but that is not true. I encourage my son to call and visit with him, but my son won't call him. My son thinks dad is going get me locked up and he will have to live with him. My son say he is tired of him blaming me for stuff. My son wants to know if it will be disrespectful to speak to him about it when he go with him next Thursday. My son heard the whole argument. I am scared he will blow up on my son. He hates to see my and my son close. His mother has been missing since he was 8 years old and he is 28 now. Could that be the problem? Can I go to jail? Thanks for any advice.
