Continue with what was working for you - not communicating with him. Talk to legal types about the child support if you want, but don’t waste any more of your time with someone you don’t need to waste any time on.
The answer to this may be in your other thread, but just in case it isn’t, what state do you live in? Just so you know, there are still a few states where child support runs until age 21.
Regarding the DVD, either ignore it or send it back without comment. Obviously, your Ex is still trying to persuade you (or perhaps himself) that he is really a good guy and that he should get big brownie points for the payments you received even though he would absolutely NOT have sent you the money himself if he had received it. I see guys like this every day in court.
I know this isn’t much comfort now, but if he has worked enough to be eligible for Social Security someday, he will be quite surprised when he starts getting his checks and discovers that – surprise! – they’re being garnished by the Feds for the support he still owes you. Sweet!
We should have him waterboarded for not paying everything to you at once.
DEATH to men!
It’s not your fault you picked him. It’s his.
Yep. I liked Kimba and my brother like Speed Racer. ![]()
I live in Ohio…
Ohio - Termination of support at 18 or graduation from high school, whichever occurs later, but not past 19
Which is what my support papers states as well.
My daughter, if in public school, would still have another year to go so he would have almost another year to pay. She spent this school year studying for the GED. We have completed the application online already. I just have to mail the back up paperwork on Monday. I wanted to make copies first. I almost had her contact her father to see if he could at least pay the $55 application fee but I changed my mind.
So she will most likely get her GED before she reaches the age of 18. When she turns 18 I will contact child support and have them remove her just like I removed my son at 18.
You are absolutley right. I could have not said it better myself. In fact I was so angry about it that I could not find the words or put it into that perspective.
I did not know that. He worked enough to get it. He held a good job at Stouffers for over 18 years. He had that job when we got married. He lost that because of his drinking problem. He then went on to the job he just lost in April 2007, so he worked there for 10 years give or take.
They say patience is a virtue. I guess I just wait. As long as I don’t have to talk to him while I wait, it’s all good.
