Child Support

I live in Canada, but my sons father lives in Massachusettes where I'll be heading to go to court on the 30th. I left my ex alone all these years when it came to the child support because when I so much as mentioned child support, he used the system to make my life a living hell along with our sons life. At the time I was living in Mass, had my own business and was more than able to provide for my son on my own and it wasn't worth what the man would put me through to push the issue. Now that my son is 17, he no longer has the ability manipulate my life as he did in the past for more years than I care to remember, so I'm finally going to get what I'm entitled too. I just wish I hadn't let him off on all the back support I was owed the last time I was in court with him, because all these years of back support I could have gotten would have come in hand now that it's getting close to the time where my son will be going to college.

I'm so happy. I just got back and I won double what I was getting before :-D

The judge was awesome and even set it up so my ex has to go into court every so often to report his wages, so my support will increase if his wages increase and I don't have to be there. The judge said they would call me on the phone on the court date just to get an agreement from me and I am thrilled. My ex also has to send me a copy of his pay stubs monthly, lol. This worked out even better than I thought :-D

I think that the rule in Massachusetts is that the divorced father must pay for his child's 4 year college education. I'd check that out, if I were you.

How can the judge double your support, when your husbands earnings have decreased dramatically? If your husband earns close to nothing, where does his support for his son come from?

I actually did check that out and there is no law pertaining to college. The law is that support is to be paid until the child is out of high school.

I was pretty amazed that he admitted it as well.

So, on top of being a worthless, deadbeat S.O.B., he's stupid as well. And he's lost his wallet! Let the party begin!!!
