... support, rounded off its about $1,600 a month. I used to have a great job, but couldn't survive because child support took so much. My son is supposed to be withonest me 50% of the time. In the last few months it has become 80%+. He is almost always at my house. His mother won't do anything about the child support, she likes to party. A lawyer wouldn't help me. The child support office wants her signature to prove this, which she also refuses. She plans on moving to Texas in january, my son will stay with me in Oregon until school is over, I then myself with my family plan on moving to a different part of texas. This child support is rediculous being as he is with me as much as he is. He never wants to leave when she actually shows up to get him. What can I do? Child support must go away. How do I go about custody? I've talked to many lawyers and none seem to want to help. My family will back me up, and so will my son's mothers parents who have seen this first hand. I'm married with two step children which I plan on adopting within the next year, but supporting my family has become almost impossible with my situation. Please please help
