Quote From: harbour909I totally agree with the father. My son was in same situation. Paid child support until child was 18 BUT HAS NOT SEEN HER SINCE SHE WAS 5 AND SHE IS NOW 22 AND A MOTHER. Mother moved out of state and son was unable to find her. Also, MOTHER WAS AND IS ON DRUGS AND ALCOHOL. I had information through mother of her new boyfriend, but this lady would not give addresses and/or phone number to me (because she was fearful that mother would take her g/son away from her - yet she did not care that I had lost my g/daughter.
IF I COULD I WOULD INTRODUCE A BILL THAT WOULD GIVE CHILD/CHILDREN TO PARENT THAT IS A GOOD PARENT AND CAN AFFORD TO SUPPORT THEM. My son was and is a good parent and could have supported her. And she would have had much better care - not only from my son and new family but extended family as well.
My g/daughter wanted to enroll in gymnastics, but her mother was too busy spending money on drugs and alcohol and could not afford it. If g/daug had been with my son, I would have done that for her. And I would have done it for her with her mother if I knew where she was.
If the woman or custodial parent denies a court ordered visitation order than the noncustodial parent can take the custodial parent to court for contempt of court. A court ordered visitation is the same type of order as court ordered child support and can be enforced in the court room. My question is why didn't your son pursue his visitation. The courts can find the woman because there has to be an address the child support is being sent to. Social security numbers can find the person too. If you could prove drug and alcohol abuse you could have proven she was an unfit mother.
