A Tired Mom in VA

12/01/04 01:11 PM

I welcome any help I can get. I'm the proud mom of a 5 year old son. I was awarded child support in VA- Dec. 2002. I recieved a total of $500 in 2003 and a total of $850 in 2004. Since December 2002, I've worked 2 jobs trying to make ends meet.
When I was awarded support in Dec 2002, The judge ordered the dad to pay me $820 per month. I begged the judge to lower the amount, thinking the high amount would keep the dad away from my son. The judge reluctantly awarded $450.00 because I begged her to.
Once the dad left court, my son had stayed with him for a total of about 2 visits. So, reducing the amount didn't keep the dad in the picture.
In August 2004, I opened a case with the Child Support Enforcment office. My son's father quit his job once he received notification from the CSE office. Being sympathic to my son's father once again, I didn't claim the thousands of dollars that were due to me in arreas. I claimed a total of $1200. The CSE case worker asked me if I was sure if I wanted to claim the low amount and I told her I felt if I claimed the thousands of dollars it would affect the relationship my son had with his dad.
Well, the dad didn't wish my son a happy 5th birthday this year, no gift,, nothing. Yet he called me on my son's birthday to argue about the case.
My son's father has recently gotten married and his wife is an attorney who works out of her home, They live in one of the richest area's in VA and he drives a brand new truck.
In November, I received a notice from the Child Support office saying my case was being reviewed per the dad's request and I needed to provide income, daycare and medical verification. Which I happy provided.
I've made many consessions to my son's father, I've been sympathic and at times made poor decisions regarding the matter at hand by letting him off the hook. If I can work 2 jobs to support my son,,,,How can the office of child support reduce or even stop my payments?? (Payments I've never received consistantly.
From what I see, the dad is choosing to be unemployed because his wife is willing to take care of him at this moment.
Please give your advice and thanks for your help.
