My ex currently owes me over $12,000 in child support and alimony plus additional amounts for extraordinary/medical expenses and legal fees. He stopped paying alimony last fall and child support in February of this year.
So, sometime in March/April 2008 he "lost " his job. When I called the child support office, they told me he had a claim in for unemployment (which does not necessarily mean he was approved for benefits) and I would still receive child support from his unemployment benefits. I never received anything. I called 2 weeks ago and was told he had started a job a week prior and it would take about 30 days for a check to be mailed to me. I found out the job he took is not even in his field and it is temporary-so he is WAY under-employed.
I tend to think since I never received a payment from the state, he never received unemployed benefits. Which means he probably quit his job. What other explanation could there be? If you were entitled to collect, why wouldn’t you?
Does it matter if he quit his job? We were divorced in NH and we both still live here. We have a hearing next week. We both have lawyers.
