Parents not receiving child support unite against deadbeat parents.
Trying to focus on the positive...
I am trying to focus on things that are good in my life and not become consumed with the issue of non payment of cs.
I am fortunate to have a husband now that takes care of my kids like they were his own.
He pays his child support faithfully and drives 16 hours every other weekend to pick up his son for the weekend.
My ex won't even drive up the hill to pick up his kids.
It is hard not to be bitter.....but I am trying.
Thanks everyone for listening. It really helps.

I have told him that if he is in fact "disabled" that he needs to file for disability. He paid $800 a month for two years, (my court order is $1002.00) then stopped this past October. He has a new baby with the fiance, so I guess he has "started over". The first time he got behind in 2005 his arrears were over $27,000. I agreed to drop the case in exchange for two cars and some furniture, and the agreement to make regular payments so he wouldn't loose his license. I never got all of that money. This time, I am pushing it all the way. I am not dropping the case. He will be in the system until he pays and won't get his license back until he pays. I learned my lesson the hard way.

I know that it is hard not to be bitter. Especially since I was laid off. I often think how much that money could help my daughter. I do feel a victory in receiving a court date after all of this time. I try to focus on the positive and know that I'm fortunate. My daughter and I have a roof over our heads and we won't go hungry. We are luckier than a lot of people.
Your husband sounds great and it's wonderful that he is their for the kids and you.
We are always hear to listen!
Thank you for sharing.

Hey that is what this site is for. To listen to your thoughts and frustrations about the lack of CS. Atleast you know your are trying to do what is right. Just set aside a certain time every week to work on the issue ex-an hour. Of course if you have real epsiode or someone actually writes you or calls you back then spend more time on it. I look at this as something I have to do for my child. For me it is one of those weekly errands I have to do like grocery shopping. I guess at the moment I am getting the basic things on my list but I really want something on the treat isle( some of the back child support some of my marital settlement money- shocking I never got that either). I know how hard it is when you are not even getting the basic things on your shopping lists.
Does your ex have a job or is he just on disability?
