I am seeing a lot of people here bashing mom, but are missing the fact that DAD moved away, to another state, and lost custody of his child.

At that point, support should have been dropped, and dad should have had no further rights. Once mom obtained sole custody, she had no further obligation to dad, and no further expectation to support either.

At that point, support should have been dropped, and dad should have had no further rights.

I find this statement a little naive.
Why do you and the courts feel that just because a man doesn't pay child support he should lose custody of his child?
First of all, maybe the father doesn't have a job, maybe the father moved to another state to get a job? Or to get away from his crazy wife? Or maybe he can't afford to pay the crazy amount the court has set?
I have two sons who've gone through this hell. They tried to do the right thing, but the girls and the courts couldn't punish them enough.
The courts don't care if the man lives on the street because the only thing he can afford to pay is child support. Maybe, just maybe, this is one reason so many men run.
