Need to be court ordered first..then the Feds will make sure you get it! Texas has a very strict childsupport enforcement !!! Your lucky to live there.

Father's are getting more rights in the family courts today.  Some are even receving sole custody of children.  I believe one  of the biggest things is the child support issue.  If the person paying the support would receive an annual accounting from the receiver of the support it would make that issue much better.  The court's are trying to do what is best for the child no matter which parent gets custoday.

Wow, I had one of these guys too...there are so many around it is unfortunate.  In my humble opinion, real people with issues get screwed because of dead beat dad and lying mothers.  There are so many guys that ditch a girl when she gets pregnant that when the court sees a guy who wants to be involved, they don't really care why. It's financial too..they figure if the guys is sending money, the state won't have to.  And so many women lie to get back at the guy, that we have lost our credibility in the courtroom.  I really feel for your situation.  Here is what I did..I spent years and thousands upon thousands of dollars trying to do the right thing through the court, and constantly getting told that I was wrong, etc...it made me crazy.  So, I just threw the door open to the guy..said lets stop fighting, this is ridiculous, neither of us can afford this, etc.  Said, visit whenever you want...and guess what?  Since the ball was in his court, he barely comes around anymore.  I don't know if you wish your children to have a relationship with their father or not...not that I think you wish them to not have a father, but if he is abusive, etc...I don't know what your situation is there, but this worked for me.  Best of luck to you, and hang in there.

I know how angry you are - my ex does those type of things and worse.  Once, when he threatened to not return the children (as we had agreed), I called the police (another police officer had advised me to call the police if my ex continued to do things in violation of our agreement - like picking up the kids without telling me, etc.).  Anyway, I am in California and I called the police and the officer said that, if the kids are with a parent, they would not take a report until it had been at least 48 hours since the children were supposed to be returned.  My attorney didn't offer any solutions and didn't seem to think it was that big of a deal.  \n\nThe bottom line seems to be:  the court hears about this stuff (and worse) all the time.  So, while to us, it is huge and terrible, to other people, it's just things divorced parents do.  Sorry you are going through that.  Maybe someone can offer more productive help.

I live in Columbus, OH.  I would think if the father can prove that the mother is not doing a good job, the courts will grant full custody to the father.  The burden of proof rests with the father, though.  Good Luck!

I know that most courts side with the mother in custody battles....good luck!

Majority of time children are placed with their mother after divorce.  Where I live wife has to either agree to this or be found as an unfit parent.  I know how hard it is for a father to give up custody from a personal experience but maybe your wife will agree to this if you do seek divorce.  I would suggest that you sit down with your wive and discuss what would happen to the children and be in their best interest if any was to happen and your marriage fail.

Under the laws that were established at the time the guidlines were set up - Yes. However, you may want to get an attorney and have your situation looked at again. If your children are with you a little less than half of the time than you shouldn't have to pay her but for the 5% of the difference. It may pay in the long run to hire an attorney.

i'm not sure about other states but in VA the grandparents have to.  My mom works for child support enforcement and she said if they both signed over 'legal' gaurdianship then everything should be ok.  But they have to get child support from both parents not just from the dad or mom.

Where in the world do you live?  I have never heard of a man being able to kick a wife and 3 children out of their home.  Have you talked to a lawyer, are any of your children also his biological children, if not you could have problems, bless the little children who have to go through emotional pain caused by care less adults.\n\nBlubla

It depends on the status of the matter it is a case to case basis. If the mother is an american citizen it is faster for the daughter to be petitioned.

hello,\nokay are you an idiot????i have 2 daughters and neither one of their fathers got any type of visitation till i got the court papers in my hand.....now you have to go through dfs and get your child back.....but there is hope if you did not do an DNA test then your good they have to grant you custody until the DNA is proved....because your a woman and the men have no clue on who was between your legs.....but you could also get him for parental kidnapping....and denying you the right to see your child....please lady use your brain if not for your self for your sons sake....i would have never let my children leave with out me......that is just crazy the way fathers think that they can handle   baby all by them selves yea right....but go to the county that you live in and tell them what has happened and they can help you get your son ....they have to prove the father before he can see the child and that saves you the heart ache....also once you have the child in your custody do not i repeat do not let him see or talk to you until the courts say so and get a good attorney due to the courts can say that you abandoned your child to the father...i live in Missouri and they are a mother state and the mother has to leave her child in order for the father to get custody of the child....good luck

1. Are you sure that the child is yours? Try a DNA test, to be sure.\n2. Go to an attorney to help you. As father you have to pay for your child, BUT you must meet her and know her.\n3. She (the mother of the child) haven't the right to have this relationship hidden unless there is a serious reason. Speak with her and an special list (as physiologist or family consultant)\nMore info bellow:

When you consult with the lawyer, it creates privilege between the two parties, but it does not make you the lawyer's client.\n\nAny reputable lawyer should provide you with a letter or statement of what they're going to do, in writing, before they start any work. They will need your mother's (or whoever is acting on her behalf's) permission to obtain records. If they try to act on your behalf before you've retained them, you'd have a case for attorney malpractice, too.
