Hi Veronica, thank you for your answer....Obviously I didn't word that part exactly correct. When I say family this includes, me, my parents, and my sister. I am included in the whole family description. The words he used were not only untrue, but given in a demeaning tone with added details...

What is the name of your state? CA...ex in Texas. My 2 children visit their father 3 times a year when he follows through with the arrangements. He is $15,000 in arears in support and filed Chapter 13 claiming this support.....last update is that the Chapter 13 has been dismissed due to him...

What is the name of your state? Ca and TX My children are visiting their father in Texas. They left Sat. Without going into the whole ordeal, he's $12,000 behind in support and has been going through bankruptcy procedures for a year. His bankruptcy just was "dismissed" due to various...

I am doing the SAME exact thing with my ex. He owes $12,000 in back support. I filed the 8 counts of Contempt, however, after the ex filed Chapter 13 (and put the $12,000 on the claim), my attorney now has to file the "Relief from Stay" in order to go forth with the Contempt. According to all...

SWalker1 - I have similar issues with my ex not paying 1/2 of medical expenses. Unlike yourself, garnishements won't happen with my ex as he's self-employed. I'm in the process of taking him to court for Contempt on 8 counts of not paying Court Ordered Support/daycare. Mine is all lumped...

I think most of us know you don't want your ex on the street, at least "I" never interpreted that from anything you've said, just for the record. And we all know he'll never be on the street with the way's he's figured out how to deal with the system. Just take him to court somehow/get...

If it makes you feel any better, Kevmar44, I heard all that you're saying. I can relate 100% and more. Yes, your children "deserve" more....they deserve a dad that cares - that's responsible for his children. $27 a week is pitiful. Basically $100 a month. That's barely 1 week worth of...

THANK YOU Veronica! I appreciate your comments. Since posting this post, I've spoken to my attorney-he actually called me -what a miracle. Which, believe me, I've thought about changing at several points in our 8 year relationship.....the $ and him knowing our history just keep me going back...

Thank you Djohnson for your comments. I am aware that these things are quite costly. Insurance has paid for the entire deal. She's a full-time working person with health insurance. So, like my other email said, I'm aware of tumor information, however, the non-payment has been going on for...

Thank you Nextwife on your tumor information. However, despite the fact that a tumor exsist in this situation, my children exsist as well. My ex is still responsible for paying his support. I would enjoy hearing anyone's thoughts on what my attorney is doing at this point.

I kind of have a similar situation with my ex. He's self employed and has claimed Chapter 13.....however, child support "before" he was bankrupt was based upon him saying that he would be making at least $21.00 a hr. He only sees them for a month at Christmas, Spring Break and every other...

What is the name of your state? Ca I have a court date in two weeks - taking my ex of 8 years, to court for Support Contempt. 8 Counts. ($12,000 in Support owed) This is the second time I've done this....last year on the court date, I was handed a check by him to cover what he owed.....I've...

What is the name of your state? CA I filed 8 counts of Contempt on my ex for not paying support. This has been an ongoing problem for years. So, we're scheduled for court - end of this month. Then this month he pays for Sept, but minus $122 then what is Ordered. This would be the first...

I agree with LdiJ - he can try, it's going to depend on what the Judge thinks and his reasons WHY he decided to quit his job of 10 years.

SM5SY - Thank you for your comments. They really are appreciated. I know that there is no way to know what the judge will decide, but just wondered if anyone else had been through filing Contempt with an ex that tried to show he makes no $. My kids, as you say, I haven't mentioned them, are...
