question, why are you or did you get sent to jail?

I feel for you wanting to protect your son, I have 2 girls ages 5 and 6 and their dad (my ex-boyfriend) sexualy molested the oldest when she was 1, lucky for me he got found out the same day and was arrested a week later, (he is still in prison)the courts were on my side and helped me terminate his parental rights.

I didn't follow a Court Order. "Criminal Contempt of Court" is why I get to go to jail...all because the courts don't want to hear about my ex's past behavior...just "Present" behavior, and life.The Court system is a "Good O'l Boy's network where I live...and he doesen't have to pay for Child Support either....but paying your Attorney and your own living expencises is more important than your child....SO I just feel defeated right now..yesterday My attorney Quit the case for lack of funds...well I wish I had some Child Support to incorprate with income from job instead of everything going to just live...and my son and I live with my Parents.

My Jail sentence is up to 46 weekends and I have served this will be my 7th one....but nobody(judges) wants to hear WHY I want to keep my son safe....It's crazy and it isn't over yet...

There are laws to stop this and to protect you. You have to look hard for them. Start with your low income legal services. They are back-logged but do not give up this is what an abuser wants you to do sooooooo he wins. Do not cave in find your rights they are there!!! Go to your D.A. write a letter to a congressman/woman make them pay attention. What ever you do don't stop. You were given the right to live in the U.S. use it!!!!

Yes there are states of "good ole boy's" but I live next door to a County Judge and even he tells me there are ways around the good ole boy syndrome. It took me a few years to find this route but I did so it can be done. Your first approach is
Pay attention to your attention
Pay close attention to, it is not waht is being said, but what is not being said
Use a affirmitive request and response to the judge "Know the system!!
Do not be afraid to speak out and up But NICELY, With all respect
swallow pride and defeat and move on to a new device
Pay close attention to waht your ex has and is doing
Find the flaws and paly hardball with them.
Last and most important "GET YOUR BACKBONE UP AND "DO BATTLE"

Are there legal papers (police reports, a judgement against her, jail time, etc.) against your ex-mother-in-law? If there are, get them together and call the court house to get a hearing. Go before a judge and let him see who your children are going to. As for the child support, if he has a steady job, your best bet is to have his wages garnished. The court clerks should be able to give you the necessary paperwork and, maybe even walk you through everything. Court ordered child support is a priority over just about everything else. If he's not following the order and paying you support, then you need let the court know he's in contempt and take take him back to court. You can do it. Just take one step at a time and always remember who you're doing this for (you and your son!). Good luck!!! Stay strong and don't give up. Smiler
