The only problem with continuing to turn the other cheek, is in the long run, it won't benefit your son. He has a stressed out mom because of non-payment of CS. That will ultimately affect him. Plus, I take it you don't have the $$ to do the things with your son you'd like to. Is there any way to get a temporary payment while you're waiting for court? This whole thing is just so unfair. It would be great to throw deadbeat dads in jail, but then you'd never get a payment out of them! I really hope and pray something breaks for you soon.
