Tell that to my brother in law. He has spent 2 years in prison because of the ex. He decided after the last 18 month stint that he was better off not having any contact with the ex at all, that included giving up his contact with his daughter.
The big picture? The ex is married to a millionair and drives around in a brand new 5 series while the new hubbe drives an M3. The y live in a McMansion and own 2 flooring stores in very wealthy areas. They also inherited 18 acres on the intercoastal waterway.
She MAKES him pay the $600 a month child support every month even though it is totally not needed. It is his punishment.
He now looses every tax return as he pays off the back support payments he owes from being in jail and not being able to pay. He was once arrested for not paying weeks after getting out of jail for false charges he assaulted her when she attacked his new girlfriend.
After his 6 month stint in jail he was arrested for not paying his support for 6 months. Away he went for 18 more months.
I am his boss. I have to mail off his payments. One of them got to the state at the 32 day mark. (it was how the month and my payroll fell) This is illegal. one has to be there every 30 days or less. His license was suspended and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
It seems the ex's mother works for the court system. Guess who gets screwed at every turn.
He finally gets to see his little girl because she was diagnosed with diabetes. The ex had to contact him for medical history and he asked if he could see his girl and she agreed much to the shock of all of us.
My heart goes out to you guys that have to endure this BS.
