Oh, I know there's no way that unless CSSD steps in, he's going to pay child support. He has no job & his unemployment benefits ran out weeks ago.
This might sound truly horrible, but not a day goes by that I don't wish for a call from jail or from the cops/troopers telling me that either he's been locked up again, or is dead.
At least that way we'd know for sure & all the constant nagging worry of him showing up at random on our doorstep someday would be gone.
I'm planning on taking one of the days the baby is at daycare to go to the courthouse & file a DVO. I really did not want to-with his record, it will make it next to impossible for him to be part of the baby's life.
Then I remind myself that this is not the first time his addict-actions have caused a marriage to end & a child to be removed from his life. It's the second. His first son from his first marriage is now 10 years old. He signed away his paternity rights & all visitation with his first son...drugs were more important...
My reasonable guess is that this time will be no different.
