No child support...

Quote From: ctackett01

I would like some advice on my ex husband. The only word I can use to describe him is Loser. When we were married he only had two jobs and he only had those for a month. We were only married 1 year then I got tired of supporting him, coming home to him sitting in the chair and not cleaning or cooking. Now that we are divorced nothing has changed. He has gotten remarried, and his wife has told me that she almost left him for the same reason. He owes over 3000 in child support. I just really feel like he doesn't care about his son. When he pickes him up he is always late and he always drops him off early.  His wife also told me that my son is now calling her mommy. I would like to take him back to court but I don't know if they put him in jail if that would hurt my son so bad where he would hate me for it later. Please help

I think parents have an obligation and a responsibility to support their children.  The $3000 your Ex owes is your CHILD'S money and I think you owe it to your child to hold your Ex accountable.

 

I bet you could really use that money for your child, couldn't you?

 

The only way to give your Ex any consequences is to take him back to court.  If he goes to jail, it isn't YOUR fault, it's your Ex's fault!  So let your self off the hook, okay?

Do what you know to be the right thing.  Q

I am in the same boat. My husband is a loser also. We are still married but live separately. I kicked him out of the house because he thought he could just lay around all day while I go out and work. He refuses to get a job and pay child support. He makes every excuse in the world why he's not working. Does your ex have a drug problem? My husband confessed to me last year that he was addicted to pain killers. His whole attitude about life changed and it was and still is a pity party about how nobody does anything for him, when me and his family have done everything to help him to get a job and back on his feet. I am headed for a divorce also, yet I continue to think that he might change some day. I dont understand men in general,  they just dont get it.
