Legal Question in Family Law in California

deadbeat scam artist dad

I was with my sons father for 2 years, we had a child together, after a few months he started abusing me physically, verbally and took all my money. I finally got the courage to leave him while he was at work for the fear of my life and my son (now 1 years old). He was mailed child support paperwork by DCSS, right after he received it, he moved and quit his job to avoid paying child support, on top of that he skipped bail and i co-signed a while back so i am held liable for 10k if he does not appear in court. what can i do to get this dead beat that to pay the money (almost 7K) that he owes or go to prison? even if i file for small claims he will not pay me a dime, he could care less about his license and credit, i need justice. please help.

Re: deadbeat scam artist dad

Check with friends and family to locate him. When you learn where he is report the location to bail bond and withdraw the bond. The bail bond should then pick him up and take him to jail. That will relieve you from the cost of the bond, if he is returned to jail. As for the child support you should open a case with the department of child support services.
