Dear Editor:
In August 2003 a gentleman went to court in Sequoyah County for custody of his two girls.
He was granted this on basis of mental and moral basis. They found his ex-wife lied on the witness stand also found she left her children home alone for hours while she was in jail. The father was taken back to court in October of 2003 by his ex-wife to appeal the judge's decision. After testimony the children would remain with their father. And the mother was ordered to pay child support. After seven months the ex-wife was taken back to court by the child support division and ordered again to pay child support in the amount of $2,000 back pay. There was still no payment made now in May. There is another court hearing on child support payment, but guess what, if this was a man he would be sitting in jail. Only in Sequoyah County.
