I have been exactly where you are now. EXACTLY. Court orders don't mean anything to criminals. My ex used to never show up to an EPO extension hearing. Instead, he'd cruise around the courthouse looking for whatever vehicle brought me and kick the body panels in. And I'd have to be back in 2 weeks for another extension. I knew he did it, everyone knew he did it, but with no one seeing him do it, he couldn't be charged. Mine was already involved (and had a baby with) someone else, too, but he enjoyed the predatory game of messing with my life. Cops are useless. Courts are useless. Mine did the same thing. Drained me financially from multiple directions, stalked me like crazy, to the point where DCFS said the kids weren't safe with me because of it. They said we'd have to agree on a family member or they'd go to foster care. The was currently a big story in our local news about a 3-year-old child that had died in a negligent foster home, so I knew I'd have to let them go to his parents' house because he'd never grew to anything else. We got a court order where they had them half the week and I had them half the week. I was to pay 25% of my income to them for child support. They did not ask him for any support. I was fine with that and was doing it, so he upped his game and started stalking me at work, causing me those several jobs. When I couldn't pay, they stopped letting me see the kids. I was out of money to get the lawyer back to court, so they just got away with it. I kept trying to call and they wouldn't even let me TALK to the kids. Eventually they sold their unsure and fell off the map. My oldest son (from a prior marriage) finally found them on MySpace 9 years later. The grandparents had taken them from IL to NV! And filled their heads with lies about how all I had to do was pay to see them but it wasn't worth it to me. They are all sick. Now I'm sick, too!
