Ugh, I don't think I'll ever see another dime of CS again
the Ex (biokid's dad) is now in arrears by about $500.00
I went online to our court website to see if they put a bench warrant on him yet (I'm waiting for the angry phone call, accusing me of doing this TO him, I haven't contacted Domestic Relations about it, but it's automated, so I figure the warrant is forthcoming)
anyway, so I looked him on on the docket search and found judgements from:
Ford Motor Credit and CAB leasing (over $5,000)
Capital One over $8,000
A collection agency (had to google the name) over $10,000
that's just who has JUDGEMENTS on him...
I hate to say it, but he's got NOTHING and I'm wondering if he's going to wind up in Jail because of Domestic Relations
I don't feel sorry for him, I feel sorry for my kid... it's bad enough she's got a Dad who's fallen off the wagon, crashed two cars in two months, wife gave him the boot, he was living on his other daughter's couch, lost his license from DUIs... he spiraled out of control and my poor kid's gotta see this
(before anyone starts giving me the hair eyeball, he was card carrying member of AA back when we were together, he fell off the wagon, I gave him the choice, me & baby or the booze, he chose the booze, so we left)
he was a really decent guy before he let his life to to hell

Only $500?!? And you were
Only $500?!? And you were expecting a bench warrant??
What state are you in...I'm moving there!
Lol, thats just a month
Lol, thats just a month right? haha
Here, I think when you are 30 days behind, your technically 'behind' and eventually theyll take your license. Dont see the point of that though, how are you going to work if you cant get there?
If you go through CSSD and
If you go through CSSD and have his pay garnished, they will take CS before his other debts. CS is first priority. However he has to have a paycheck to garnish for that to happen. How frustrating. I'm sorry.
I dont get anything from my
I dont get anything from my ex. If he has nothing then why are you wasting time chasing it...... just do the best you can with what you have. Your child is already loosing out on who a father should be and money doesn't stipulate if he is a father or not........ it's his actions. So clearly he is having issues all the way around. Don't expect you to feel sorry for him. I don't feel sorry for mine but I surely don't go after something when I know I will never get it.. it's not worth the battle.
This is a recent thing,he's
This is a recent thing,he's done well for the last few years... he was far behind once before
in PA the state takes the CS directly out of the paycheck and as far as I know, he's still working.
I'm not personally going after him. He got behind before and I got the angry phone call from his (then) wife because he had a hearing (that I didn't have to attend) regarding his arrears and had to come up with something like 80% of the arrears, in cash or certified check, otherwise they'd put him in jail. I had nothing to do with it, the state (or county??) handled it directly.
CS distribution has changed since then and has been outsourced.
I wasn't trying to "go after" him, I was looking to see if anything was pending so I knew what to expect with the next phone call
the CS I received went directly to paying for things FOR my daughter, stuff like her soccer and dance and summer camp (which is how I figured out he was behind, I went to pay for the first two weeks and the balance was way below what I thought it should be)
what my husband was concerned with is, if they take the CS directly out of his paycheck and he's still working, he probably has some sort of under the table deal going on with his employer (he's a bartender) which means they're not giving him a paycheck, and judgements can't be garnished from wages, only CS and taxes can be garnished from wages, so he's deliberately doing this to avoid his CS Payments... ugh!
