Thanks for your reply. I am quite aware that I'm not going to receive sole custody because he isn't paying. The thing is, he DOES work. He DOES have the ability to pay. Maybe hiring an attorney who uses a private investigator to document him swinging a sledgehammer on the side of the road would be beneficial. And as to no "need" for an income...he has a child that "needs" food and shoes. I do not want my child to grow up without her dad. I do expect him to live up to his financial obligation to his daughter.
