Asked 5/26/2010

Should i have to pay child support to my kids dad if he got the kids taken away from him for being abusive to the kids?

My kids lived with there dad and his new wife after he left me , i now have the kids back cas him and his wife was hurtting my kids and there dad even touched one of my kids in a sexule way he was never charged for that but he lost all his rights to ever seeing the kids i owe him lots of child support from when the kids was with him. Im not able to pay it to him cas im not working and have not been able to get a job i only live on the child support he is now paying me ..... It upsets me that i have to pay him back child support for are kids when he and his wife was hurtting them and not caring for them ....i dont want to go to jail for not being able to pay cas i need to be her for my kids what can i do to stay out of jail? Im not even able to get child support to lower it any cas it is all past child support ...I need help? I just dont think its right that he should get anything from me for what he did

To do that you will have to take him to court and get the judge to listen to the case no its not right but the law doesn't take that into effect but what they will due is take the kids best interest at heart when asking this question they will adress it as to what is better for them

Although it may not be right, you should have to ;pay the back child support just as you will expect him to pay any child support owed to you.

You didn't pay, back child support cannot be "forgiven", regardless of his behavior. Someone was feeding, clothing and putting a roof over their head.

Did you stop paying when they were removed, but before the order was changed, or had you not paid for a period of time before then?
