Stuck on child support cause of a deadbeat

Yes you read that right. Here's the background:

So I was a single mom for year with an awesome village that drove me nuts. My oldest sister has been a second mom to my two oldest boys from day one, if they needed it she made sure they had it and she spoils them rotten. My kids were homeschooled for year cause the schools by me suck. So when they got older I gave them the choice go back home where we are from (I moved when they were 3 and almost 1) and go to school, or stay here with me and remained homeschooled. Not surprisingly they ditched me for their fave aunt. Anyway to make things easier I told her to file for custody as she's over 3 hours away and I don't drive. Upon filling for custody she decided that since their father never did much she'll take him for child support. The courts told her I would have to pay as well since I signed over my rights. So yeah now I'm on the hook for child support for the children I took care of for years. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Have you considered moving to be there for your kids? They deserve more than a check every month, especially if their dad isn't involved.
