Quote From: need2runHe works for himself so there is no paychecks to take money out of and working himself he has no job to lose if he goes to jail for child support . he has told many timed that he would rather spend the rest of his life in jail then give any money, he has been in jail many times that is why i believe he is telling the truth. jail doent bother him at all.
if you live in a home that you own or he owns that is a way to get themoney. legally it is half and half but if you get an order for child support and he does not pay it when the house is sold you will get your half as well as the part of his half that amounts to the past due child support. there are ways to get his assets, it takes time and moeny and is probally something you dont want to focus on tirgh tnow. but once you are out and settled i would suggest seeing a lawyer. if he gets any moeny form the gov't that would help. any taxes refund he would be entitled to you can get, but with him being self employed he most likely owes. let your lawyer know the sttements he has made about shild support this way your lawyer can do whatever he can tog et you some money whereever possible.
sometimes men just say that, and straightenup once it is ordered becuse they dont want to be a dead beat dad, others say it and mean it. the key is to protect yourself and your kids. accept any help you can find.
