My son is Autistic and his bio-dad is in and out of the picture and it's causing problems. He refuses to communicate with me and I believe he is in denial of the Autism. Court just limited his visitation to only therapy because he doesn't show for visitation. My son is 2 and 1/2 and we are still not receiving any child support. He has only shown for 6 out of 80 visitations. He has showed the last two times but I feel like it's only because the judge is threatening to take away his visitation and set his visitation at 0 days for child support. Dad needs to be in or out of the picture. He is doing more harm right now because Autistic children need consistency and have rigid routines that need to be the same or it causes meltdowns. I know God has a plan for My son. Please pray for us as Gods plan for my sons life is revealed.

I have been in a custody battle with my son's father since April 2011. He left when I was 10 weeks pregnant and had another girl pregnant three months later. He only contacted me to say rude and hateful things and cause me to have complications in my pregnancy. It took him over a year to complete the DNA test and only did so because the court finally told him he had 30 days to get it done or they would automatically assume my son was his. My son was diagnosed with Autism in Jan 2013. The court gave his father visitation for an hour Tue, wed, thur and sat. Out of 80 times he could have seen his son he showed up 6 times. We just had another court date yesterday and they limited his visitation to Tue, wed, thur at therapy only so he can learn how to help our son. He wants to change our sons last name to his even though for two and a half years he hasn't been part of his life. He told the Judge he had an accident in Feb and has lost his license because of no insurance so he was unable to utilize his visitation. So the court is giving him another chance. Child support was to be calculated at this court date however he claims he is not working as much because he doesn't have a way to work so now once again child support cannot be set until he brings 6 weeks worth of check stubs. I honestly don't think he cares about our son and I know he can not do every thing that needs to be done for my sons special needs. I really need prayer. My son needs prayer. I am a consistent part of my sons life and I do everything for him. He has Autism, and can be very tough to handle at times. Lawyer fees are taking all the money I have and I am close to losing my house. I really need this child support to start. The court doesn't seem to understand. I know God has a plan and is working for my sons good even if I don't understand it right now.
