I need help I do not know what to do about my ex-husband. We have been divorced for a couple of years. In the divorce decree it says 25% OR the set amount which ever is greater at one point and time he was paying me 25 % of 300.00 which wasn't much. He has not been giving his divorce decree to his employers and he pays what ever he wants when he decides to pay it. I am afraid to take him to court because of the children. They have been through enough. I have let it go because he will argue with me in front of the children and belittle me too and I don't want my children to see it neither. Also sometime I am afraid to send my children to his house because of the women he dates and lives with because one was brought up on charges from what I was told for child abuse for grabbing my 9 year old. He got them out of the house so I didn't do much about. I still bring it up to him. Also the one who was charged had a car wreck with my 6 year old in the car. He has lived in 10 different houses since our divorce and according to law they stil have to go and sometime I worry about then. What do I do?
He is still required to help support the children. He is in contempt of the court order to pay child support. You should really consider taking him back to court. I understand that you do not want to put the children through anything more. But let me ask you this. Are you doing fine without the child support money. Are you able to cloth, feed, and otherwise provide for your children w/out the CS? If the answer is "yes", then I would just let it go for now and do nothing. However, the fact that you posted this question leads me to believe that you do, indeed, need this money to help with your children. By not taking him to court, and thus not getting this CS, you are also indirectly causing some problems for your kids. Also, the other issues you mentioned about your ex's girlfriend, etc are quite concerning. Have you talked to a lawyer or considered reporting this to DFCS? If you feel that it's not safe for your children at his home, this should be your #1 priorty.
I have got me an attorney for the child support and I am going for it all since my divorce and he has to show the proof not me, also I am going to try to get it fixed so he has to pay for my attorney too. I will see my attorney on Monday and as far as DFCS the police sent the case to them. I have been doing some investigating on my own and found it out. I have done all this in the past 2 weeks. I realized no one was going to help me so I stepped on toes and did it myself with the support of my new husband. I do appreciate the reply, but since the day I posted I have done it all. As far as him seeing the kids I don't want to stop that I am not that way. They love their dad no matter what and I can't see them living without their dad like I did.--not by choice my dad chose not to see me.
