You could file for a court date that will address the fact that he is living so far away and that you do not believe that he should maintain joint custody but unless they choose to change the verdict then he still has joint custody.

Change of custody and/or child support can only be done through the appropriate court procedures. The person must file a petition to modify/amend the original orders in the court of jurisdiction. Support orders must be adhered to until a a ruling is made on the status, if this is not done, the person ordered to pay the support could possibly be found in contempt of a court order.


Is there any way to prove that your spouse fights custody to avoid child support?

Sure, get a good lawyer to prove this point. If he only wants custody of your child when he's served with child support papers, this would be a red flag for a judge. Tell the court how long it's been since he's had anything to do with the child. A judge can see right through the smoke screen. No, as no attorney would tell a father this. Who would be supporting the child if he got custody? Only 15% of mothers are order to pay, of which 5% ever pay. That 1 out of 1000 custodial fathers getting child support. Further, even with sole custody, he can still be ordered to pay. At the current stage in fathers rights, this idea is an Urban Myth, though it may change now that more women are working than men and stay at home dads will have a greater chance of getting custody and child support as a growing number will have to go on Welfare.
