I’ve been staring at this keyboard for what seems hours, now, wondering how to deal with this. The ex called today. I saw it was his phone number and just passed my son the phone, saying, “It’s for you.” I didn’t even bother to talk to him because really, how many times can I be […]
Wondering what legal recourse you have if your partner doesn’t keep up with child support?
I found a nifty PDF that tells you, state by state, what to expect. Texas makes it a state jail felony… Wisconsin is pretty strict, too. And if the state penalties aren’t steep enough for you, keep an eye on the […]
I’m at my wit’s end. The ex is flying to be with his son on the KoE’s fifth birthday, and can afford to do that… but says it will be another couple of weeks before he can catch up on his child support payments. April will begin month four without a dime. And yet he’s […]
I can’t believe I did it. National Blog Posting Month is done as of midnight tonight, and I did indeed fulfill my commitment to post every day. The end of the month makes me think of the beginning of the month, which in turn makes me think of payments.
In my case, it’s another month of […]
This diatribe will go just as well towards vindictive, angry mothers as it will fathers but, as I’ve just gotten done with a tour of the Blogosphere and read some of the nasty, crappy things some fathers have done to their children to get back at their ex’es… this post will address revenge-seeking fathers.
You suck.

Had an epiphany today that might take a while to sink in for divorced parents: child support isn’t a bribe, it’s not contingent upon being able to see your child, or vice versa. Single moms, do not feel as though, just because your ex finally payed up on child support that you are obligated to […]
My recent post about the frustrations of collecting child support brought two good sites for help, information and support.
Jimmy Verner suggests checking out the Child Support Web for great resources when it comes to collecting your child’s money. And Kelly shared that SupportKids.com has helped her get what she was owed, though they do take […]
Some guys would rather spend the money on themselves than on their children. That’s just a fact. When your ex is having fun at the expense of your children, it’s hard to stay calm. I’ve been reading some laments around the Net, from women who can’t make ends meet without the child support payments, yet […]
She dumps him via SMS and files for sole legal and physical custody of their two children. He counters the very next day with a suit for sole custody and spousal support.
I’m not a mind reader, and I’m not going to pretend I know what’s really in their hearts. But it seems to me, he’s […]
