Is there a way to get financial help when going for custody or at least joint custody? The mom has kept the child away from the father; the father has faithfully paid child suuport every month, he sends cards & letters, and also tries to call but the calls are never anwered. He has begged & pleaded for timewiith his child without success. There is no agreement in place simply because he took her word that they would share custody & that he could see his child at any time.
The father may need to file a custody action against the mother. If the mother is not allowing the father time with the child, then a custody action can help the father get a court ordered custody schedule that both parents would have to follow.
The father can have access to a library of legal forms and communicate with an attorney through our Rosen Online Service. This service only costs $199/month, and would be a great resource for him to handle his custody issues without spending thousands of dollars retaining an attorney.
