Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

Hey

This is a weird question

Me and the father of my child have a really difficult relationship. We both charged each other with malicious communication but he has nothing on me I am only contacting him to deal with our son but he refuses, we took a DNA test etc and he still won't pay orcommunicate. I've made it really clear I'm only communicating in regards to our son and he still ignores me. The police don't know about my son and I don't particularly want to get them involved but I know if they knew about Noah they wouldn't let him refuse to pay me. He is fully aware he needs to pay me and come to an agreement and we've taken a DNA test but he's using the fact the police have said you don't have to talk to her as an excuse to not pay child support?!

I just don't know what to do

I don't know want the police involved with my son as brogan made wild accusations about my depression and said I tried to kill myself when I was pregnant and I just don't even want to try justify myself I know I did nothing wrong I was depressed because of my ex.

He is point blank refusing to pay and contact when he knows he legally has to pay but thinks he can get away with ignoring me

He is blackmailing me and trying to make out I’m a bad mother and get my son taken away so he doesn’t have to pay which he’s admitted. REMO have told us to come to an agreement together as the whole process could take a year and he needs to support me in the mean time until it gets to court. The police said it’s not there issue and sent an email saying if we want to talk we can and he’s srill refusing. Remo have told us to sort it because he has a legal responsibility and he’s refusing point blank. He has no regard for the law and is doing whatever he can to get out of his responsibility.

What should I do?? He has to pay me he hasn't paid in a year as well as blackmailing me and refusing what the authority told him to do. Can he go to jail for this? It’s not just he refusing to pay for a year, I t’s the blackmail, it’s the complete lack of regard for the law and his responsibility. He’s fully capable of getting a job but would rather drink and go to clubs. I broke my spine and had no choice but to get back to work when the doctor told me I couldn’t but he refused to help me so he also put my health at risk. I can’t do this anymore. I honestly think jail would be the only suitable option for him. He is in Virginia and I’m in VA. REMO said the case would be held in Virginia and based on American law. Please advise.
