STBX wants to see the boys. My problem is that he's not paying child support on time, he still hasn't seen his lawyer to even try to attempt to get our seperation agreement signed and he's out blowing money and partying. He lives with an alcoholic who has parties all of the time, so the boys CANNOT go there (plus, the place is a nasty disaster area). He has said he IS NOT willing to find another place to live (he acknowladges that his residence is not suitable for kids)

Sam honey, he has to got to be the sorriest excuse of a man, especially since he refuses to take the responsibility as a father.

I agree with everything that wishful told you. You really need to contact an attorney about this. I know in Wisconsin, we have a legal aid place called Western Wisconsin Legal Services. Through them I got my divorce free through them, becuase of the domestic violence. Perhaps you could do some calling around and asking if they have pro bono attornies or a reduced rate attorney? Tell them the situation your in.

I would also call the local child support agency and tell them that you want the child support collected from your STBX.

I'm really sorry that you have to go through all of this while your pregnant. Pregnancy should be a time of happiness. I've been through what your going through.

What would happen if you had a settlement agreement drawn up by a paralegal?
