I posted this about a month ago under Spousal Support

"Been divorced 4 years...
I have custody of our 2 children 14 & 17. Last year my ex tried to get custody. Due to a juvenile issue with the 14 year old, he got temporary custody. That lasted 3 months, then he dropped the motion for custody and dropped my child of in my driveway and drove off. 17 year old never wanted to live with him. Child support was adjust when he first got custody-I am still fighting to get it back to where it should be-went to court 4 months ago for that. He makes 3 times as much as I do.

So here are my gripes-

1. He is in contempt for non-payment of alimony-for the third time. He currently owes me for 7 months.

2. He has NEVER paid his share of ANY extraordinary expenses, as stated in our divorce decree.

3. He has not spent a significant amount of time with the 14YO in months-the 17YO wants nothing to do with him.

4. The court ordered him to provide my lawyer with documentation of his income by last month. He never did.

5. Last month he stopped paying child support at all.

I am totally frustrated by his lack of cooperation, and the court does NOTHING to reprimand him. He went into court with a bid sob story about how he bought a huge house to accommodate all of the children (our 2 plus his new wife's 3(wife #4)). Well he foreclosed on that house 3 months ago after living there less than a year. I found out he had 100% financing on it, so he just walked away from it. (Why he had 100% financing is beyond me-I paid him over $40,000 for his share of the equity in our house when we divorced.)

I know he is hiding money outside the US (he travels abroad frequently). I was told so by his wife #3-who lives in a foreign country. She told me he deliberately hid money so he would not have to pay child support on it.

Now to top it off, my lawyer won't return my calls.

I am just so tired of the battle. "

Okay, so my lawyer finally got off her butt and filed a HUGE motion for contempt for non-payment of child support, alimony, extraordinary/medical expenses and for not complying with the court's order for providing his income documentation. Plus she also put in for legal fees. So, it looked like justice would finally be served. Until yesterday, when I found out he lost his job a few weeks ago. ARGH!!!
