Divorce Support Forums: No fault, no contest divorce in Iowa...

I just had a court date of January 16th finally today was supposed to be it and he filed for another continuence on the date which will be another six months I would bet. Yes there are children involved and I filed for joint custody myself as primary care giver... He will not accept that so I am fighting it. He has never cared for his children physically and since I moved out a year ago he has not even so much as given them money for clothes, school sign up, extra activities etc... I did finally take him to court on temporary matters and it was ordered then a week at a time 200.00 per month child support but he still does not pay for 1/2 of their needs... That was in October and he did not even start taking them 1 week at a time until December 30th, 2007. I am assuming his lawyer told him to start, and as far as the cost of the divorce as of right now I have spent 5,500.00 and received nothing. Crock! I was even stupid enough at Christmas time, he asked if he could go 1/2 on presents for the kids so me being the nice person that I am I agreed, he came over Christmas morning to watch them open gifts and guess what he didn't pay me. Taxes last year he withheld from me for 10 months, this year I filed separate and with me head of household, I'm sure this will start world war 3 but he forced this. Its a nightmare!
