How do you get your kids back when your husband and totally poisened their ming against me. He will not give me any money but will occasionally take me to the grocery store. I havent worked 14 years because he wanted me to be at home. He is verbally and emotionally abused me and I am at rock bottom. My son has now been caught selling drugs, stealing alcohol, and smoking synthetic marijuana. I have taken him to the docotr with no support so he willprobably end up in jail at 14. Everythin that happens in my husbands life or with my boys is blamed on me. the boys now physically and emotionally abuse me with trying to hurt me, belittleing me and cursing an mocking. My husband has had the boys the last 10 days only because my son puched another hole in his bedroom wall and lost control. He takes medicine for ADD and bipolar which my husband does not give him when he is at his house. my husband now has total control as I have no money and no job. My motehr pays for everythingincluding food, rent and the boys clothes. I am beaten and have no money. My husband has been living in a home with a very rich woman so now has the ability for money and a lawyer so his abuse has excalated I have to beg. What do I do?

Another choice that you have is to find your local child support enforcement office. Some states have them attached to the court house such as family court. Some like nevada Childsupport enforcement falls under the district attorney's office. They are an agency that will help you filde for child support and even establish orders of child support if you do not have one.

You do not have to file for divorce to file for support. Depending on what county you live in, you can go to your court house, or social services building, and file for child support. He can refuse all he wants to, but when you file, the arrears will build, whether he wants them to or not, they will either do a wage attachment, where they take the support out of his check before he even gets his check, they have many ways of getting your support...dont worry, it is his responsibility to help you with the financial part of raising a child. Go and file, if it does cost something, they will make him pay that too..good luck
