My brother is children mother is threating to take him to court for child abandonment. This would be the second time in her doing so. The 1st time she did it a week when he was fresh out of jail. But once going to court they told him that he could not see the judge at all. He could not let the judge know his situation the fact that he has 3 other kids which 1 is in his custody and that he receive adult child disability for his heart condition and is not allow to work. And another thing she also knew the judge to which his condition didn't really matter he still worked in her favors. But they ordered him to pay $350 a month or go to jail. He manage make those payments all the way up until now which its really getting hard for him because he has to find light work because he can't work. He still has to offered to pay her something just isn't able to pay the whole amount. Well now is threatening to take him back to court for child abandonment again. She refuses to take the money that he has to give her and not once has she let him see or keep his kids that he paying for. He is worried that is going to jail when he is doing what he can to take care of his kids, and she is only doing this out of spit. Please help with a little advise.

First this is a legal question. Please pay more attention to what forum you post in.

GA calls failure to pay child support, abandonment. So if he is not paying his court ordered amount, then she is simply trying to enforce the court order.

If he feels that the amount is unfair based on his income and other situations, then he needs to go to court and ask for a modification. If the judge is a friend of the mother, then he needs to recuse himself from the case. Sounds to me like he doesn't know how to work the courts and she does. So he really needs legal counsel to help him.
