What is the name of your state? Fairfax County, VA.
Hi all! I'm praying that someone out there can help. My husband and I have exhausted all our finances on getting legal aid for custody of my step-son.
DBM (Dead Beat Mom) was sent to jail for failure to obey a court order.. ie: not paying support, not paying for paternity test, etc...
She got out of jail by promising to get a bond, and then following through with her child support, and arrearage payments.. None of which happened. We are going to court on 12/20, after filing a rule to show cause ourselves with the Circuit court.
DBM did not get the bond, has refused since 2000 to pay for the paternity test; and has not voluntarily given any support to my step-son. She did give the court ordered $700 to my husband, to get out of jail.
When we go back for the rule to show cause, what is going to happen? How can we prepare for it? We'd like to show emails that she sent, that show her contempt for the court system, and her complete lack of parental responsibilities.
I love my step-son more than anything. I've been his mother since he was a few months old, while DBM ran the streets with any number of men. She now lives in a different state, and she has visitation every 3rd week of the month (when she bothers to show up). She has no job; because she says there are none available in her area; yet we pull the classified ads for her area, and there are certainly "no experience necessary" jobs available.
Someone please help. We've worked so hard to give our son a good home, and provide everything he needs.
Thank you,
