Update
My ex obviously hasn't gotten his bank involved in transfering my support from his account to mine, since I haven't received any support since July 28th (the day before his last court date). Of course I'm sitting here brewing, so I came up with a plan. I've assumed all along that my ex was working, so yesterday I decided to start calling his house in the morning, knowing his step kids were home. I called yesterday at 8:15am. One of his step kids answered the phone saying he wasn't home. I asked him if he was working and he said he didn't know.
I called again this morning at 9:30am and no answer. I called back an hour ago and another one of his step kids answered the phone. She said he wasn't home. I asked if he was working and she said "yes he is".
He is due back in court next Thursday and that SOB better not go in there crying poor mouth again.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, Montana, you know he will.
Fortunately, you got someone at his home to confirm that he is working. That is information you can use, no? I'd fax the guy at court who is on your side and tell him before next Thursday's court date. AND be sure he knows you haven't received any payments as ordered.
Only problem is that I'm not exactly sure the fax will go to this guy and stupid me forgot to ask him his name.
Who did the court hold responsible for ensuring the funds are deposited in your account?
Is it time for you to get the N.B. folks involved, to make sure of the funds being deposited.
You definitely need to let someone in the court in Mass. know that things are not proceeding properly - and you need to do it sooner rather than later.
My ex is due back in court next week on the 19th. My ex is the one who is responsible for depositing the funds into my account. I can't get NB involved because in this case I can't get the DOR over there involved since the judge ordered that my ex go into court every so often, so my support can be increased when needed and they can make sure he's making the payments. The judge set it up this way to protect me.
When he goes into court next week, the court is going to call me before he goes in front of the judge to let me know what's happening, which is when I'll tell them what's going on. The courts in Mass are so overwhelmed that I could call them until I'm blue in the face and get absolutely nowhere.
Oh, Lord, Montana. And we thought that all was going so well.
It was going well for a very short time Letty, but my ex will do anything to get out of paying me more. He's been pulling this scam for the past 17 years and I didn't expect any change in his unwillingness to want to help provide for our son.
Some things never change (sigh)!
I just can't believe he's got the balls to pull this crap when he has a court date coming up next week.
Montana
One step at a time, that's all you can do! Think positive. I'll pray that the judge slaps him up next week.
Thanks Debra. It's frustrating, to say the least.
I decided that I'm going to start recording his phone calls and see if they may be interested in hearing what he's saying outside of the courtroom.
that's a good idea Montana. Good luck
I go for a support hearing tomorrow against Joe. I am nervous. we still have our custody trial coming up in sept. He doesn't want to pay support either. I told him I would drop it if he would just give al ittle on what I want for Zack and he won't. So I won't drop it either. He will need this money, and if anything else I can save it for him towards college.
He just wants me to do everything his way, but he sugar coats it so that it would seem that he's giving me what I want.
LOL
I hope all went well Zacksmom. As long as you don't listen to him you'll be fine. My thoughts are with you and Zack.
My ex is due back in court Thurs, so I hope this will be the end of it for awhile.
The 19th is finally here and my ex was due back in court today. I'm sitting by the phone waiting for the call and I'm feeling very uneasy. My ex has only made one support payment in the last 3 weeks since his last court date and I'm so afraid that he's got another scam rolling. (sigh)!!!!!!
Montana, I think this time, you need to take firmer steps. Do what you have to, honey, to get that man to pay up.
Oh, I don't plan on giving him an inch at this point, but there's only so much I can do. The only thing I can do now is pray that the courts see these scams of his for what they are and put their foot down with him. It's in their hands now and all I can do is wait to see if there is finally some justice for me in this case, so I can get on with my life without this constantly hanging over my head.
Waiting to hear
Hi Montana: Let us know as soon as you hear what happened!
Debra
You guys will be the first to know.
Montana--
You're in my thoughts. Remember, that deadbeat is flirting with contempt of court charges.
Hold your dominion.
Thanks Noddy. I am getting very nervous now as it's 2pm at the courthouse and I still haven't gotten the call. It's never taken this long and I'm at the edge of my seat.
If he didn't show up in court, will I get my judgement?
