With your attitude she'll probably cop her own and not give it to you.

nextwife said:Any accountant/collections attorney would advise their client to consider the "time value" of money. The $20,000 INVESTED wisely during that time following your refusal would likely have yielded in excess of a 12% return. You figure out what that would be today, compounded.
haiku said:my personal opinion is if you don't want the fathers emotional input in thier childrens lives, then you really don't need or have a right to thier financial input either, obviously.
the only one who is the jerk in this case is you! Denied your ex his right to be a father, and then was stupid enough to refuse a GENEROUS settlement offer, just because he refused to give up his parental rights (to such a great 'new' daddy, who couldn't keep the kids in school or thier pants zipped....)......
So now you get to wait possibly forever for 30,000 dollars....
Which is smarter? 20,000 in your pocket and walk away happy, and able to close that chapter of your life, or....a peice of paper saying someone owes you 30,000, while you sit and spin and make everyone miserable for the rest of your life?

username43 said:What about one of the child support collection agencies? I don't know anyone who has used one or if using one cancels out the CSE agency,but look in to this. do the google search on this too. I'm pretty sure they collect a fee from the settlement,but this might be a way. Another thought is to hire an attorney to write a letter to the ex requesting full payment of arrears.this might get some kind of response and be less than a full retention of one. Again I really don't know about this either I am just brain storming. As far as rejecting the $20000,well the arrears really isn't open for negotiation. It is money borrowed with interest or stolen from WHWT kids through the years and should be repaid with interest.PERIOD If he could have settled with 20000 which is alot of money , I would have suspected he could have paid the $30000 as well. Good grief he could get a loan and pay the bank instead of cse and the mother. I think he is holding out too!
nextwife said:And how do you know that the $20,000 wasn't offered by his wife from her own assets - and that $20,000 was ALL she was willing to pay? No, it's not required to negotiate, but if it was HER money, and not her debt, she can place any conditions she wishes on it's disbursement, as she has no obligation to pay anything.
Some of us WORK in business endeavors in which creditors and debtors come to agreements/settlements all the time. And yes, those creditors are also owed their debt in full, but they make thoughtful and well-informed decisions, weighing the benefit of having X dollars now to invest vs. the POTENTIAL of collecting the full debt in the future. Even with interest accruing on the debt, most creditors would rather take a settlement, especially if it's at a ratio of 66.66 cents on the dollar. The old "bird in the hand" philosophy.
As to paying OFF BY OBTAINING a loan, the reporting of CS debts to credit reporting agencies deminishes borrowing power. If he has no assets, WHAT collateral will a creditor be offered to secure the loan? Do you actually believe a creditor will underwrite a $20,00 or $30,000 UNSECURED loan for someone with no assets?
Seems our poster is rather gleeful about moving his kids away to further her new husband's career and then further impacting his rights under the CO by failing to enforce the visitation order so he'd get the limited visitation he had left after the move. She, too, is in contempt.
