Q: My Daughter has a five year old son. The father has been going to college and pays nothing.
The father and his father coerced my daughter into sigtning a paper that says she will not move her son out of state. She is basically being held prisoner in Minnesota while he goes to college and her entire family is in Phoenix. He has never paid any child support and sees the child very rarely. She is 23 and very intimidated by them. Please. What can we do to help her to be able to be with her family for support.
A: It is difficult to give advice without reviewing the custody decree. Generally, the father should be paying something in child support. I really would set up a consultation with a family law attorney to discuss available options.
