[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 556104, member: 1514"] I am probably gonna get slammed for saying this but...1600 isnt all that much money more than you. I dont know how much you make but that is roughly 400 a week. I dont know what your ex's financial obligations are at his current home. Does he have more kids? Does he have a large mortgage on a house that he cannot possibly sell in this housing crisis because he is so far upside down he would go bankrupt? There are houses now that were sold for 800K in 2006 or 2007 and today are barely worth 250K. You simply cannot sell that house. I know I sound like I am on his side but I really am not. I think you are lucky to get any child support myself. You will get it caught up when he files his taxes if he gets any refund at all. I raised my son and his father never paid a dime because back then they just didnt look so hard. He owes well over 200K between 4 boys. If not more. My son is just 50K alone. We will never see it. I gave up stressing about it years ago. I knew he wouldnt pay. I also knew it meant he would be on the run his entire life and would never be able to have a decent job. That is sad for him. He chose to be on the lamb rather than send his son $128 a month. I think that was a stupid decision. [/QUOTE]
