Maybe the best part was the judge's 1 1/2 page statement on the POS nature of the father that totally reamed him out and included, "Unfortunately, being a poor parent is not against the law in this state."
Now we are waiting for a ruling on his second demand, this one was for no child support and half-time custody. Based on the first ruling he might lose custody all together and have support raised again.
Nice to hear that the system works, and kudos to you for helping to support this family.
