Another question for you..

Hey everyone,

I have a few post out there already..and things are still the same. I've tried looking for a lawyer I can afford and seem to be hitting a dead end..seems I'm above the 125% I'm at 225%! UGH..I'm still dealing with my sons father and his threatening text and harassing texts...Now because I've told him I want him to seek AA or help in general for his drinking condition and unstable thinking he is threating me with taking me for drug testing, which I don't think is valid regardless, cause he is using something I did before I was pregnant against me now, to cover up with for his own problems..getting more to the point, I can't take these text anymore, for now I have put a block on his number, so I won't have to indure anymore of this, his own family thinks I should change my phone number, but I won't do that. Will I get in trouble for blocking his number?? I don't think I will cause even in the text he has sent for the last 2 months it has been nothing but insults to me and never once even ask about our son? What is your advice??

You should contact the Office of Child Support Enforcement. This is a division of the Department of Health and Human Services. They will help you to get a child support, and may be able to advise you further on your options for child custody hearings. Your local office can be found by clicking on your state on the map on this website www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cse/extinf.html

With regards to Wally wanting to have you drug tested, if you have not used any illegal substances for over 3 years, you will pass the test. You should let him do his worst, because you will pass with flying colors. You would still pass a drug test even if you used as recently as a few months ago. You will look like a good parent, and he will look like a fool.

As for the blocking of his calls and text messages, there is no law that you are required to have a telephone, so there are likely no laws that relate to his ability to call you or text you, especially if he is abusive. However, you should keep the texts that he has sent you as proof of his abusive temperament toward you.

You may need to consider getting a restraining order, as well. This may really become an issue if there is a potential that Wally will become so angry, that he is not able to contact you over the phone, that he may come to your home and be physically abusive to you.

The bottom line is that you need to contact the www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cse/extinf.html, and get advised on your options for child support, child custody, and Wally's alcohol abuse.

Good luck!
