I'm from Utah. My mother had mental illnesses. My mother went to prison during her mental crisis. My father had my mother sign an unfair divorce decree when she was in no rational state of mind to sign it and she was psychotic. He made an unfair deal with an unfair "lawyer", and they took advantage of her mental illness to make it happen. The divorce decree made it so my dad didn't have to pay a fair amount of alimony and he lied about information on alimony and child support in order to avoid paying the right amount. This decree was signed in 2012. My mom has had custody of me and my siblings and during that time, my dad didn't pay the right amount. I am about to be 18 and my older sister is 19, but I still live with my mom and we have struggled so much for so long because of the unfair decree. My mom hasn't fought hard enough for the money, and I think that my dad should have to pay. Just because he's rich and can afford to twist the law. It's not fair. My mom went into massive credit card debt because she had no money to spend to take care of us. I do not feel that my dad has done his job as a parent. He's selfish and neglectful. I can talk so much about the neglect and even abuse that he has done. We have been financially struggling for so long. My mom doesn't seem that hopeful about getting him to pay, which is why I'm here to ask you what can my mom do to get him to pay the money that he didn't pay for all those years, and how can I or my 19 year old sister help support this cause? Please tell me the circumstances of what can be done based off of this? It's so not fair. Please help me.
