I agree - justme1961 looks as though she's doing a fine job.
In my situation, I have an ex who works at Wal-Mart, but conveniently she was admitted into a psych hospital in late 2006 to avoid paying me CS (I haven't ever received any from her, and have had the two children from the start); as the agreement stated she'd start paying me after working full time for a year (and she was admitted before the end of a full year).
Now, it appears she's doing the same, probably to try and get alimony. She was Section 12'd in Feb '08 (which I didn't find out about until Apr '08, *after* we'd done a revised visitation judgment in Mar '08!). I have motions on for May 22 to suspend her legal custody & visitation and Change the Venue to my county. Her and her lawyer better hadn't bring up alimony again, because I will fight it all the way.
Any ideas on this situation : where the non-custodial parent ends up in a psych hospital / ward of state? I don't believe I should have to pay alimony (and will not do so under any circumstance), as this would indeed be a blight to my children (and me, and my wife & her children). This is in MA, so liberal-city, I'm afraid!
