Deadbeat dad


Question Posted Thursday January 11 2007, 2:01 pm

My ex is almost $4000 behind in child support. The child support enforcement agency sent him a letter saying it will take his liscence in 10 days, will they do that and how long will it take? Also what will the next step be if he still doesnt pay? He is living off his welfare girlfriend in her house, while I have a son who is chronichally ill (7) and a daughter who is 10 who he tried to choke to death, this all started with him being convicted of domestic violence on her, so yes I want him punished, any info would be most helpful, i am 29yrs. old by the way,Thanks, the struggling mommy.

While I don't agree with his actions you have to remember
1. he has his own life to pay, food,house,car(if he has) and 2. he can't pay you if he does'nt have the money.
I cna understand you wanting that payment, especcally with what happened. but whatever the step is, they can't take money he does'nt have.
KEep that in mind.
the next step would likely be them directly taking the money as he gets it out of his account

hey, well my parents got a divorce a long time ago. my dad also tried to choke me to death. i called the police. he went to jail but then got released because there was no proof that he did it and he swore under oath that he didnt do it. so theres really nothing that you can do for that. they will seriously take his liscense away. but i dont see the good in doing that. if he cant drive he cant work. so that just means less money for you. i would talk to him if he is approachable and try to work out some type of a deal with him, without getting the courts involved. if he doesnt want to work with you, than thats when you call the courts into the situation.

If he doesn't come up with what he owes in 10 days they really will take his license. I honestly don't understand that punishment because if he can't drive how will he go to a job to get money to pay you? Oh well, I imagine he will have a certain time to pay after that or go to jail.

Sounds as if you are well out of that relationship. If he tried to hurt your daughter, I can't believe he isn't still in jail anyway. I don't blame you a bit for wanting him punished. Keep after him and he will be I'm sure.

Sounds like you have your hands full. I wish you lots of luck in getting some money from this ex deadbeat soon. :)
