Right now I am so fucking angry I can barely type. Not 4 hours after I typed my post in this thread, I got a knock on the door. It’s a process server. I’ll give you three guesses on what I’m being sued for; yep you guessed it Child Support. As I’m typing this my kids are sitting ten feet away eating Coco Puffs. According to the documents a judgment has already been entered against me, they are merely requesting financial information to set the amount of support.
I cannot believe this. I didn’t get any of those tax credit because of this. It’s affected my ability to get loans for my business, because it stays on my credit report. I just cannot understand how someone can defraud the system this many times.
I have the number for a fraud investigator and now I’ll have to take off time from my business next week to clear this up for the third goddamn time. Why aren’t they making any effort to verify this shit? They could call me direct, I was on the phone with them just last month; they have my contact info. They could contact the schools that have no contact info for their mother, as I don’t know where the fuck she is. Hell the kid’s teachers couldn’t pick her out of a fucking lineup.
Does some on know if it’s possible to sue the county over this? Like I can fucking afford it. FUCK, FUCK, FUCK!!!
{{{Stuffy and kids}}} That’s fucking ridiculous! Your ex-wife is suing you, who look after the children, for child support!
Is there no person involved you can talk to? Surely even for a child support agency it should be a no-brainer that if the kids are with you, child support flows to you.
I hope you get it sorted out, and reimbursed for everything, and she has to pay the kids some support.
Is there anything irregular with you getting custody that could possibly muddy the waters, or is the system just that fucked up?
Stuffy is getting screwed, I’m getting screwed… the system sucks goat butt.
My ex is supposed to pay court-ordered support and he stopped paying last December. I’ve called the support agency quite a few times to get something done, to see how I can make my ex take care of his responsibility and nothing seems to be happening.
Do I have to fly to Cali and smack his lame ass upside the head? Or do I have to do that to the state agency responsible for collecting the support?
My ex thinks he can get off scott-free since he ran away to Cali and the order’s from Az. Like nothing is being recorded on his records for it. He basically told me in his last email that the state and I can shove our thumbs up our butts because we can’t do anything to make him pay.
I don’t know why he’s trying to bluff me, I figure he’s just a waste of breath that I stupidly got mixed up with.
I feel bad for you, Stuffy. I’ll never understand dead-beat parents.
If I could figure out what the problem is, I’d have fixed it.
From what it looks like, it’s the county itself suing me. This happened late last year too, in that instance my ex had filed for welfare claiming she had the kids, somehow that goes to DAs support division, who then tries to recoup from me. The last time I spent four or five days talking to different people at the DA who couldn’t seem to understand that I had the kids, Eventually a fraud investigator came out to the house and determined that yes I did have custody and as far as I can tell nothing else happened. That’s why I still have his card.
I’m not sure if this is new or related to the old case. What I know for sure is I’ve spent too much with lawyers for no results. So I’m going to call this guy up on Monday and go from there.
What confuses me is that I thought if you defrauded the system, you were automatically restricted from getting it again. But that doesn’t seem to be the case, because two years ago she did the same thing, and had been getting checks even though she’d been in jail at least some of that time.
You have my sympathies, Stuffy. Let us know what happens after your conversation with the fraud investigator on Monday. I hope it can be resolved to your complete satisfaction.
Since you live in Oakland, have you visited the law library? It’s open seven days a week. I know from experience the staff cannot dispense legal advice, but they can help you find library material on the subjects that might help you.
