I'm sure that's not your situation, and really, if you wanted to go after your kids' deadbeat dad, you could hire an attorney to do so for you (or even work on contingency).

my situation couldnt be more typical, except he decided to go and live the one place i cant chase him for support...jail. ive tried attorneys, ive tried everything. he is scott-free until he comes home. hes been away since 02, wont be home til 09. when he gets home, his tab will be close to $15k.
and yes, i do know some parents whose situation is complicated by a difficult custodial parent. but you cant NOT pay your support in VA, the courts see it as two completely different subjects. i still had to turn my child over for visitation even though he would not get a job and pay his support.
