Q: Can an ex bully you out of asking for child support?
In abusive relationship for 20 years. Was primary care giver. left w/daughter in 2018. Filed 4 CS through state. He found out & threaten to “end me.”
had hard time finding housing, hadn’t worked in 17 years. Daughter w/me 90%. November 2019, found housing. Lived there for 13 months. Owner now selling property. Father threaten to take her from me. Since I am “not stable.”
I have hard time finding place. Might have 2 rent room. Why? Was staying @ home raising daughter (not working)
Had he paid proper CS from beginning, I wouldn’t be where I am. State’s calculator says $1,475. Was recving $0-600
I know I did the right thing by leaving. It was a toxic relationship... but now I might lose my daughter. I understand why woman stay in abusive relationships... it’s better then not being with their kids.

ONLY IF YOU LET HIM.
HOWEVER, IT IS MORE DIFFICULT TO PRESENT YOUR CASE IF YOU DON'T HAVE A GOOD FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY.
ORGANIZE ALL THE FACTS SO THAT A LAWYER WILL SEE YOU ARE ORGANIZED AND MAY NOT BE AS TIME INTENSIVE A CLIENT AND EITHER HANDLE PRO BONO OR AT REDUCED RATE...........
