    Actually you can sue her for child support. As long as she is out of the house, then she has to pay child support. Take her to court. She is a sorry excuse for a mother, and I feel bad for the baby boy. That is so sad.

    She is only required to provide support if you go to court and a judge orders it. Unless you live in a rural area, there is taxi service to get to a store to provide food.

    Get yourself some transportation and a good lawyer.

    Put your child first. He needs a parent he can rely on. Good luck to you and your son.

    Well, if you are still married to he she can! Get a divorce and then take her to court for child support.

    Yes I think so. She should provide for him if you cannot. I reckon she's a bit crazy no offence
