[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, is your ex paying child support?  If not, you need to make getting it a priority to afford more childcare. If that is not an option, you must find a job with regular hours. I'm sorry that you are struggling. My SIL had the same issue and she declared bankrupcy because she was putting everything on credit cards to support her two kids with little support from her ex.  She had to refuse extra work in order to get to the family daycare by the end of their day (7pm).  [/quote]

The thing about child support is that, if you accept it, you are obligated to have some sort of custody agreement. OP explained that she was in an abusive relationship, it stands to reason that she doesn't want to have anything to do with her ex. [/quote]

No, there doesn't have to be shared custody.  If OP can prove abuse, all visitation can be mandated to be supervised in the Friend of the Court's office, or by another neutral third party (heck, my grandmother supervised when my father visited us).[/quote]
