The Case of Little Boy Blue

So wtf is wrong with our legal system!? I mean I don't get it sometimes. So here's the sitch: There is a little boy "Little Boy Blue" who's mom, until last month, had custody of. He is 14 right now and she's had custody for his whole life. His father, we'll call him "Sorry Excuse"  has been fighting to get custody since he was around five and he has never won. He was ordered to pay child support, which he's never actually paid. He was in arrears so deep that he was arrested multiple times for not paying child support. well anyway, every summer  little boy blue is ordered, by a judge, to go to NC to visit is father for a month after which he is to be returned to PA where he lives. Let me add the fact that he's never back until about a week or two after the school year begins. Anyway, back and forth back and forth his father takes his mother to court for custody, all the while not paying child support or helping with any expenses whatsoever, this poor little boy is forced to testify at the request of his father. The custody hearings usually end the same. Around two years ago his father begins to be nice to the mother, the court dates aren't as frequent, he's using nicer language and they are able to communicate without it ending in words of war. Then one day Sorry Excuse asks the boy's mother to drop the backed child support so he could get a loan, he promised to give her some money to help one of her older children pay tuition ($2000) she agrees and no surprise, she never gets anything. So now he's out of the hot water because she fell into his trap. So one year ago Little Boy Blue and his mother are at church, he walks to the store around the corner with his cousin and the cousin returns but he doesn't. Cousin said that Sorry Excuse told Little Boy Blue to get in the car and that he would call his mother later. Upon hearing this, the boy's mother begins franticly calling his cell phone and his father's.. Both continuously go to voicemail without  ringing. This is the last time she sees her baby boy. Sorry Excuse finally calls around midnight, "Im keeping him" is what he said. She goes to the courthouse, lets the people there know what happened and files for a hearing. They give her a date that is FIVE months away!  meanwhile, she hasn't spoken to or seen her Little Boy Blue. Then she gets a letter in the mail summoning her to court, Sorry Excuse has somehow gotten an expedited hearing for custody, he wins temporary custody until her court date. As soon as she gets home theres a new letter in the mail summoning her again, this time she is being sued for child support. The hearing is in one month. well she just left that hearing in which Sorry Excuse was conferenced in on the phone, she is ordered to pay him the same amount that she is paying her mortgage company each month. He claims not to have a job (yet he has custody). How can all this happen while she is still waiting for her court hearing? what can she do about this? how will she pay her bills?
