Divorce Support Forums: Life is a mystery.....

Well , my ex-husband is still staying with us. Who knows how long that will be for (hopefully not much longer). He went to court for his arraignment this week only to find out the judge is on vacation and his arraignment is postponed until the 1st week in July. He goes next week for the restraining order his wife took out on him-not sure what the outcome will be for that. He is a mess-wondering why she won’t contact him. My husband and I think she is trying to move on with her life.

Earlier this week he asked me to reconsider my motions for contempt (non-payment of child-support, alimony and arrears plus not supplying court-ordered income documentation). He is currently working a temporary, seasonal job (which is NOT is his field) and the state has been taking child support directly from his paycheck. He is not left with much after the deductions for child support (I have only received 2 payments) and taxes.

The hearing for the contempt charges was 3 weeks ago. At this point I feel it is pretty much out of my hands (and after all I went through I don’t think I should reconsider). Ya, right now he is down and out. But, what will happen when he gets back on his feet? I am positive he will waste no time putting the screws to me again. Especially if he gets back together with his wife, who feeds his delusions.

I am a firm believer in “everything happens for a reason”. I just hope he has hit bottom and learned a big lesson. But, he has been there before and, once he got back on his feet, he was the same old selfish jerk he always was.
