My brother spent about $75k in a 4 year long joint custody case that he won in state that awards 15% of the time.

Make a long rant short. He asked for help to visit his son ...enforce the visitation order....from a lawyer but does not have the $3k deposit or the $300 to write a letter to the ex.

Over the summer the cops gave him the run around. No incident report written.

Today the cops told him to go to court to get a fresh court order. The original visitation order is 8 years old and the court approved Joint Parental Agreement is not an order.

I asked my brother how old the child support order was. At 7 years old it too is an old order so he should not pay it I suggested.
