Alexandria, LA asked in Child Custody and Child Support for Louisiana

Q: My son’s father has never paid child support and I wrote off a lot to help him out he still doesn’t pay, what can I do

He said he was going to child services to get custody of our child. But he is thousands of dollars in arrears and I even wrote off 13 grand so he can get his license to get a job and help him out, and he said if I did that he would pay from then on, and he hasn’t paid but maybe a handful of times. Can he take my son? Can I sue him for back pay??
