The state is taking my ex-hub to court for child support?
Question by tammie h: The state is taking my ex-hub to court for child support?
In 2 weeks I have to appear in court for the State against my ex hub for lack of paying child support. I need to know how others feel, if I have a right to the support or not. Here is the situation: My ex and I were married 17 years. We have 4 beautiful kids. In the divorce settlement, I gave him everything. I just wanted out.. I gave up my childcare business ( I couldnt keep it –license does not travel with you,and anyway I moved into an apartment-kinda hard to take 16 kids with you lol)He got the house, the 4 snowmobiles, 2 boats, his car he was restoring, his business I helped him build, most of our household goods-furniture–including lots brand new, I took my china huth, a few home interior pics, and the vaccume. I bought my own dishes and towels ect. He wouldn’t even let me take the kid’s beds they got for Christmas. When we first divorced, 2 kids stayed with him and 2 with me. He got a lawyer, i didnt get one. He decided the child support. I didn’t contest anything-
I didn’t contest anything. In the divorce papers he was to pay child support and reimburse me for health insurance. He payed for the child support for 2 years, and only paid for the child support for about 5 months. Over the last 5 years, the kids have gone from his house to mine, at one point I had all 4 with me. 2 of our kids have graduated and moved out on their own. We have a 16 and 12 yr old left. Until about 2 months ago, my 12 yr old was with me and 16 with him. Now I have both girls. The 16 yr old was allowed to run free with no rules, all the $ she could ask for ect, but no love, finally she decided she would rather live with me, where there is rules, little $ , but lots of love. In Janurary of this year my ex decided that since he had my 16 yr old for 2 yrs, that he paid all he needed to pay in child support since he was paying for 2 kids and 1 of which was living with him. HOWEVER- I have not made him pay the Health insurance for the last 5 years, so I had no prob
So I had no proble letting him pay-the Insurance amount is just about the differance in child support from 1 to 2 kids. He quit paying his child support over 9 months ago. Has not paid insurance in over 3 years, has not bought the kids birthday or x-mas gifts the last 3 years, has not helped with school clothes, sports fees, school pics ect. He feels since I have a live in boyfriend now (he also has a live in gf–and they have a baby together) that he no longer has to pay anything. I am going to show up when he goes to court, and try to make sure they throw the bookat him. I have been more then fair the last 5 years,but am now sooo tired of the deadbeat. Am I wrong to want to see him pay?
To Bob D– Sorry to burst your bubble Charlie–there was no other man. I got out of a very abusive relationship. I wanted all my children with me, but 2 of them made the desicion to stay with their dad against my wishes. He had promised them cars and whatever else they wanted–they were 15 & 16 at the time. they lived with him as long as they could take it, and eventually made it back to me where I had the honor of trying to correct the damage their father did to them–which I did with a full heart–all I ever wanted was my family. I did not meet a man as you suggested until 3 years after my divorce was final. so put that in your pipe and smoke away.
