What to do about child support if a divorce is pending?
My husband was abusive and I was granted a DVPO that I made the mistake of terminating once things seemed to calm down. But, the day I asked him to agree to child support, he mysteriously lost his job. I have an infant daughter and no viable way to make court dates, and I’m scared of making him angry by scheduling a hearing to demand support. He now has visitations at my home 2 days a week that he uses to harass me instead of spending time with our daughter. I want to use my temporary orders to stop this. I don’t want him in my home; he’s refused to bring another person with him to act as a buffer. He has refused to accomadate her at his home.

Given the legitimate concerns that you have written about as to child support as well as other issues, I suggest that you immediately consult with a family law attorney as to the filing of a petition for such. If you cannot afford an attorney, I suggest that you consult with your local legal aid clinic for assistance.
