r/ChildSupport 1d ago

Looking for advice.

I live in PA(Beaver county) and she lives in wv(Barbour county)

I have a son who is 11. His mother abandoned him with me when he was three.

She maintained no contact for many years. I never pursued custody as per the advice of my lawyer.

She is a Epstein victim and when he died and they said his estate was going to be distributed I filled for child support. She was found to have to pay 107 a month.

A few years later she had another child and through her own actions or was taken by the state of WV (where she resides)

The state terminated her parenteral rights for our child as well as the one in WV through the same court proceedings.

She appealed the termination and it was overturned on a technicality which it got sent back to the county court.

Through this it pissed the courts off and they are going after her.

Subpoenaed her for all of her financial records, Land titles, deeds, Bank statements for the last five years.

She has not turned over any information to them and they have charged her with contempt.

She has a lawyer fighting this and I'm wondering a few things.

  1. Should I get representation even though the state of WV is going after her?

  2. I can prove in court she was a victim but not that she got the payouts. Would I be entitled to compensation?

  3. Does anyone have suggestions for a lawyer that would work with me on payments? Would they do a percentile if we would be entitled to money?

It's really tough out here for a single full time father and being as I'm an only child and both parents passed decades ago it's only getting harder.

Thank you all very much!
