Single mom needs your info
My name is kim from tampa florida. I am an unmarried mother with three children. My ex and I broke up around 8 months ago. I have very small children. My ex has a very bad temper but has never physically hurt myself or the children. He sees the children maybe once or twice sometimes a month. Upon seperation we agreed upon the amount of $150 per week which he has paid maybe 4 times. He gets angry and says very hurtful things to the children. He has never physically hurt myself or the children but does not think about the things that he does when he is angry. He just tries to hurt with words. I try to be nice but it is getting more and more difficult as he pays nothing for his children and it is very hard to survive. My questions are: If he got angry and took my children from me, what can I do? Paternity has never been established and my case is with child support enforcement which could take forever. What rights do I have as a parent? I do not have much money. Is there somewhere I could get help with the child support? I need any information anyone could please give me.
Barely holding on
