My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Minnesota
The Father has not been involved in the childs life since he was 2 and he is now 7. He has admitted he is and would be a poor father and does want to have any part in their life which I am fine with and agree with. He is a terrible person with many bad addictions and I do not want him near my children. However since he knows this he is blackmailing me by making me pay him to stay out of their lives. He has child support deducted but basically uses the money he makes me pay him to cover it. Anytime I don't pay or refuse to pay he threatens me by saying he will take me to court to get custody to make my life and the kids life hell. I don't know what to do. I can't keep paying, but I do not want to risk giving up custody. Any suggestions?
