JustUs,
I am a single mother of 2 kids, both are under the age of 8, both are from different fathers, and both live with me.
Both fathers have regular visitations that they commit to. Only one father pays his child support regularly, the other pays when he can or if I really need extra help.
I use this child support to help me pay my monthly bills, and I count on it each and every week. I do work, but my job is not enough to cover even the basic bills to survive.
My question is, am I in the wrong to take the non paying father back to court for additional child support enforcement when I know he is barely able to make it on his own?

Hello M.G.,
You wouldn't be wrong but you would be trying to squeeze water out of a rock. If he can't afford what's already due, all increasing the amount will do is have him ducking the law, in and out of jail for a lack of payment. This would end in added stress causing strife between the two of y'all. U said he does co-parent with you on the regular and parenting consist of more than money. Be happy with the lesser of two evils. Do express your concerns with him in a civilized matter and if he's smart he will appreciate u more.
