A situation unfolding?

Justin decided to visit his dad during his summer break. I thought it would be a great idea. I've always been a supporter of Justin working on his relationship with his dad.. so of course I was on board. Even excited about it...

About a week after Justin left to his dads I recieved a package in the mail from child support services. Bon (his dad) wanted to review our case. Basically he wanted the courts to check and see how much money I was making to see if he could reduce his child support payments.

REWIND:

A few months back Bon called me and asked me if I would sign off on the back child support he owes (65,000). Obviously I said no. He kept bringing it up and tried to convince me that even after I signed off on the back support he would continue paying child support. Right. I stood my ground.

FAST FORWARD TO TODAY:

I'm filling out the paperwork and it dawned on me that I hadn't heard from Justin in the past three days. Ok. I won't freak out.. but it is unusual. Especially since a few days ago Justin heard some upsetting news from his dads girlfriend. During a conversation she mentioned that his dad told her that the reason Bon wasn't around when Justin was younger was because I wouldn't allow him to come around. Which is absolutely untrue. Justin knowing the truth, got upset. He called me angry and unsure of what to do with this information. I told him that it would be a great opportunity for him to sit down with his dad and have a father/son talk. Get some questions answered. I talked Justin down from his anger and by the time we got off the phone he had a plan in mind and felt better about the situation. I on the other hand was angry. Angry that after all of my attempts to keep Bons connection with his son open he could risk losing it again. But ok... it's not about me. However it has been noted. Justin wanted this opportunity to talk to his dad. So for now I will hold my tongue.

The next day Justin called me. He said he spoke to his dad and that he was fine but he couldn't talk about it because there were people in the room. He didn't have the privacy to speak freely. He said they were going bowling the next day and that he'd call me back.

It's been three days and he hasn't called me back. His dad isn't answering my calls or giving my messages to Justin (apparently).

What I'm concerned with at this point is:

1. I should always have access to my son at all times. There is no reason why I shouldn't be able to pick up the phone and reach my son.

2. Bon is being shady. He wont take my calls. I don't know if he doesn't want to talk to me because he knows I've received the papers or what? He doesn't have to talk to me though. I just want to speak to my son. He could have Justin call me if that's the case.

3. Bon wanting to decrease the child support payments isn't something I'm concerned with. The courts will handle that. What worries me is his persistance. His hard focus on it. It makes me wonder if he would try to get custody. He has mentioned moving to Texas a few times. He said the only thing keeping him from going is Justin.

So. I can't reach my son. His dad has been acting shady and ignoring my calls and has been desperately trying to get out of paying child support. All the while.. Texas is looming in the back of my mind.

This is what's on my mind tonight.
