Ya, I know I should have received child support on his severance package. Our original divorce decree stated I would receive a % of all of his income (salary plus commissions). However, the court changed it to a set monthly amount based on his salary plus the % on his commissions. His company was sneaky (probably at his request) in the way they took the CS deduction. They took the monthly amount out of his last paycheck (conveniently there was not even enough to cover the court-ordered monthly payment)then they paid him his severance package.
He stated in court 2 weeks ago he used the money from the severance package to pay bills. And he also did the same with his 401k. We are still waiting for the court's decision.
It is all a moot point now and I will probably never see any of the money he owes me. He was arrested for his 4th DUI last week and for violating probation for a domestic assault charge on his wife from last fall (if he was good for one year the charges would have been dropped). His wife also filed a restraining order against him. He is currently living in our 2nd family room over the garage, as he had no one else to turn to and nowhere else to live. His next residence will, most likely, be jail.
