Could my ex really be this dumb?

[JennifersLost]

Well....yes, he could be. The man who has evaded paying child support for years and owes me upwards of $40,000 has a my space page which lists both his place of employment and his income. (which he puts above $150,000 a year).

Unbelievable. Now to write that letter to Child Support Services....

[LizzyBee]

Make sure you print or save a screen shot of the page in case he removes the information!

[Volty]

Apparently so. Looks like you've got a playable hand.

When I first scanned the page I thought it said "could s*x really be this dumb?" It made me giggle. However, great news for you!

Getting her mind out of the gutter,

but does anybody verify those things? I know kids in our youth group have lied about their age to make them look better.

Wow, I hope that you end up seeing some of those finances that you are owed.

[PariSarah]

but, d@mn! That deserves a cheer!

Glad he's making it a little easier for you to get what you should be getting. Write, call, email, camp out on the doorstep of anyone you need to.

He wasn't paying, wouldn't tell anyone where he worked, and actually wanted to give up all rights to the kids and let my husband adopt them, all in an effort to not have to pay his child support.

Well, I ran into him one day when I stopped to drop a couple of my kids at their grandparents' house (his parents), and he had on a work uniform with the name on the pocket. It was quite convenient! I called my state worker, and they had his wages garnished within a week!

DEFINITELY make the call! Even if the income is exaggerated, if he really does work at that place (which you can find out easily enough by calling and asking for him), they can at least get a garnishment going...

but with the name of his employer she can verify his job and salary. :D

Sounds like it's time to collect!:)

[jmgconner]

Well, CONGRATULATIONS! As someone who has BTDT, it's nice to have a little lead. BTW, everything worked out in my case - I hope the same for you!

[JennifersLost]

The chances that a.) he didn't lie about his income and b.) he still works for that company are really pretty slim.

But I did some sleuthing around and found that two other people listed at that company as working with him in his "branch" also work for another company in his town, so I'm giving that business to the CSS people, too, to check out. Chances are that's "really" where he works.

And, even if I do find him and they garnish his wages, I'll get one or two checks and then he'll quit. He always does.

But the long-term goal here is a trail. Because the idiot thinks that when the kids turn 18 the courts will stop pursuing him. When he goes in and tries to get the arrears chopped way back I'll be there with the CSS file on him showing that he worked the whole time and did everything he could to evade having to pay. If we have to play this game to the grave, so be it.

Just try to keep where you found the info out of his hands. He might just keep updating his MySpace for years! lol
