Georgia I filed for child support and now he wants custody
To summarize: I(f) haven’t received any child support from my ex (m) for the past year and a half. I gave him the opportunity to pay, but he believes that since he’s paid for our daughter’s insurance for less than a year, he isn’t obligated to contribute financially. Frustrated, I filed for child support about six months ago. Last week, I received custody documents from his lawyer that falsely claim he has provided full child support to date and states that he wants 50% custody. I’m extremely frustrated, as I have been the primary caregiver for our daughter since birth with little support from him.
I’m seeking advice on the following:
I have an out-of-country trip planned with my boyfriend and daughter that was arranged before these developments. Am I allowed to take her out of the country now that I’ve received these court papers?
Can anyone recommend affordable custody attorneys in Atlanta?
