What to do about this?

[freespirit]

What is the name of your state? Idaho is where I live but the suport order is from Oregon..

Statement: My husband lost his drivers license about 1 year ago due to past support arrearages any job is our area making $7.00 an hour is considered a good job.. ( I don't think the employers out here heard of inflation or the realistic cost of living)

Shortly after he lost his job due to not being able to have transportation into work.. we live high in the Mountains and in the sticks carpooling is not an option. I cannot drive as I have epilesy and can not obtain a drivers license. I do work out of home useing the internet and have been supporting us barely for the last year. My husband is at his wits end.

He now got offered a job working for the Department of parks and recrecation for the state of Idaho - well of course this job not only details driving to and from work but also driving is part of the job description. He has not yet actually accepted the postion offered to him as without a drivers license it is senseless to accept. The job would start April 15th. (which by the way is $7.25 /hour big time pay - I mean that sarcastically but it really is considered good pay out here!!!)

Question: How does one get their license back - of course we cannot afford to pay off the total in arrears as we hardly get enough for food on our table. So do they have something like a work permit or something on that nature? I guess I don't get the taking away of license as a way to help retrieve child support.

Does anyone have any suggestions - I have contacted his case worker and asked what to do - as if they do not get back to him with a response quickly he will have to turn down the job.

Please any input would be appreciated...

Thank you,

I agree, taking away the license will only cause more hardship for finding work.
Have you talked to CSE about working out a payment plan?
I think if you do that- they can see that he is trying to make an effort to pay off his arrears (he wants to, right?) and they could reinstate his DL.
Good Luck and God Bless!

He should call the child support enforcement office, tell them of the job offer, they would contact that employer and verify this information. In turn they would then send over a wage garnishment and he could get his drivers' license back.
(This HAS happened to a friend of mine. She got her license reinstated within 3 days so she could take a job driving school bus.) We pushed this REALLY hard.

Has he, in the last year, filed for a modification of support? He could have the support lowered to his new wages if it's high.

Congratulations on his new job offer and you for supporting the family for the last year.

I do hope this works out for you.

Good Luck

My husband....

just had his license reinstated for work----the arrears are being paid, his job requires driving-it was not that hard to do, just had to file the paperwork. Most of his arrears was due to judge granting current amount from original date of filing, even though, his ex caused him to loose his job, and his income changed-but, what ya gonna do>
(this is in CA though..have many friends in OR that have done the same thing..)

Telling more lies. I did NOT cause him to lose his job. If he's lost yet another job, it's his own dang fault.
But more interesting is that you write that he's changed jobs. Very interesting. Good to know. Thank you.

Cookie and lovingwife.......I've just been reading through some of the old posts and noticed a "special kind of rapport" between you two. Am I correct in thinking cookie was once married to lovingwifes husband?

Only curious, helps me understand the posts better...lol.

 

[DChristian112]

Maybe Cookie needs to stop going off the deep end in every single post.
Loving wife was clearly offering advice, and what happened in HER situation.
Can't you stop doing this in other's posts???
Grow up.

FreeSpririt. Good Luck with all.
God Bless!

Yes, Lw is married to Troll, I was once married to Troll. Troll and I have two kids, Twins 15 years old, together. Divorced now, 10 or so years. I don't want him. I am Happily married to a great man. A great "dad" to my kids.
LW has NO kids.

 

[DChristian112]

Ex is a "troll" huh?
Nice word, is that what you teach your children to call their Daddy?

 

[Cookie97128]

Ex calls himself trollhunter. Lol. I call him Troll for short.

How do you figure that I'm keeping the kids from loving their dad? How do you get that from ME standing up to you on these boards?

PULEEZZZE

Re: You're not standing up to anyone, hon...

this is the internet--no real people involved, faceless names...it's not real...
what you are doing is making an a** of yourself...just stop, go to email, be a part of the solution instead of a part of the problem....
how can anyone co-parent under these conditions?

Huh? ya lost me now. If this is just the internet ~~ no real people involved, faceless names, then why are you so concerned for me to take this off the board? I'm just responding to the posts here. I am giving what I hope to be helpful advice to some. And annoyance to others.

A great "dad" to "my" kids. How cold can you get, your new hubby is not the father, to say what you said is insulting. And very RUDE. That is a hurtful thing to say. I hope one day soon your kids will see the true you, and reliize what a piece of sh*t you really are. How, you were the one interfering with their relationship with their DAD!!! Then you'll get a taste of your own medicine. This thing your doing, will come back to bite you in your fat as$ That day will come, so if I were you, I'd change my ways real fast!!!
