Q: i need legal help for child support and child custody for my 2 kids
i dont have income coming in right as now but i just started a new job and will soon. my children's father thinks him and his girlfriends kids are more important then taking care of our kids. i just need legal need to get full custody and get him on child support. we agreed on a certain amount per week to help with taking care of the kids and he took half of it away. Plus the last child tax credit he took half of it and i don't know what he spent it on. he gets a bonus check from his job every 3 months he don't even give one penny of that to help with the kids he takes it and goes and takes him his girlfriend and family on vacation, he told me that he works hard for that bonus check and he has to take care of himself before he takes care of anyone. Please help, thank you and have a nice day
A: You don't need a lawyer to get him on child support. Go to your local child support enforcement agency office and apply, in person, for a support order for your children. They will handle the rest.
