Not really sure
So I have a 2.5 and 1.5 year old I got my dovorce finalized in February the father is supposed to pay child support does not and has not bought our babies a single thing. Lives with whoever he can and has no job, we’ll my boyfriend that I live with, we have a house together and a vehicle together. He wanted his cdl my aunt and uncle in a different state run a trucking company and were willing to let us live with them so in order to take the kids I had to have the fathers permission. He was like yeah until he talked to his nana about it and she convinced him to not let me take them. Sooo now she says she’s putting up her house as collateral to take custody of my kids. Mine you Ive have full cudtody of them since February this year.she has been saying things like we have no food, I don’t let them see their father. He sees them every other weekend WHEN HE DECIDES to show up. If he shows up at all. Complains when he has them. Gives them to my family becuse he has other “plans”. But she is persistent in him having kids he don’t and won’t take care of. So im also pregnant with my boyfriends baby and me and my absolute best friend are pregnant at the same time. Well I wanted to call her but well it ended bad so now I truly feel alone.

This isn’t going to be easy but you need to take him to court and report he’s not paying child support and you need to keep a record of it any convos etc so it all goes in your favor.
I have record of him saying things like the kids aren’t his “problem” if it’s not his weekend. I’m like bud you don’t even see them on your weekend. The kids don’t like him like they straight up refuse to let him have much to do with them on his weekends it’s so sad. It’s such a big mess.
I’m sorry this sounds so rough. Just make sure you keep logs.
thank you i definitely am. And the funny thing is it’s not even their father wanting to get custody of them it’s my ex’s nana
I would start texting or emailing only. Then you have a good record of what they say. Also, in some states, you can record your phone calls. The one-party consent rule means that in some states, one person can legally record a conversation without telling the other person. But it varies by state.
Does he know you recorded him? If you live in a two-party consent state, it's illegal and can't be used in court.
I have no idea I’m gonna contact my attourney in the morning and let them know what’s going on. I’m in Arkansas so I have no idea about the one or two party laws.
Yes, you can record phone calls in Arkansas. It's a one-party consent state, which means that if you are participating in the conversation, you can record it without the consent of other parties.
Im definitely not concerned about the money he hadnt bought either of our kids a single thing since they’ve been born. I gave him money last year for Christmas he spent 5 for both kids combined and 15 on a kid that wasn’t his
Im Just worried about what they’ll pull to try and get the kids. Which he wasn’t even concerned about them his GMA is the one whose all butthurt
