Hello my name is***** and I’m an attorney with 18 years experience. Please give me a minute to review your question and provide a response.

I am very sorry to hear that. That type of behavior is unacceptable. Even though child support had been previously ordered, it would not affect a potential child custody agreement. I would strongly recommend that she file a petition with the court to establish a custody agreement and she can argue that it is in the best interest of the child to be with their given the poor behavior of the father. She can also ask that child support be modified now that he is working. She can hire an attorney or she can seek help from her local legal aid office at no charge.
