can i use the unpaid child support as evidence for neglect or would that not be smart?
Using unpaid child support as evidence for neglect can be part of your overall case, but it may not be sufficient on its own. Courts typically look for clear evidence of neglect, such as lack of basic needs, medical care, or emotional support. It would be beneficial to consult with a lawyer to evaluate your evidence and strengthen your case. Would you like help connecting with a local lawyer who can assist you further?
