Child support. I had a lawyer print up papers stating I have full custody of my kids and that the dad is suppose to pay * every payday. It was for the Indian reservation in Chinle, Az. I wasn't able to finish paying my lawyer off so she never submitted the documents. How can I submit the documents and so it can be for here in Phoenix and not the reservation?
