My husband has a daughter with his ex. He is supposed to see the child three weekends every month and ever even numbered year on certain holidays. They are also supposed to keep contact with each other and provide information like a change in address or phone number change. He has not been able to get in contact with her since about a year ago and has not see his daughter since almost two years ago. We just had our son and applied for a change in the case to lower the amount of support taken for his daughter. But my husband thinks they wont lower it because he can't get information from his ex that the paperwork requires and also because his daughter was born first and that because she was they will see her more important or something. His ex is on Facebook and i did some stalking (because she won't talk to him and blocked him on Facebook) and found that she is going to be getting married and that she moved and things like that. I'm curious if there is anything we can do that might change this, to make a change in that she will have to contact him and hold her end like she is supposed to? Because my husband is getting screwed. He has tried to contact her and tried to be there for them both but after she started getting steady child support from him she stopped talking to him and bringing his daughter to see him. It's just not fair and I'm not letting this bitch get any more money than she is supposed to since we have our son now. I just need some advice on what we can do, if we have rights.
wow >:/ that's awful. i hate it when girls are just trying to make easy money. no offence to my mil i do love her but she gets child support from her ex husband and none of it is used for their daughter. she got all 1600 of his taxes and blew it all. she doesn't have a job and refuses to get one. i feel like she may be doing something like that. @kbrown91
You're welcome girl! she may, I know his ex did bc she wasn't working and always begging for money even with 700 a month coming in. I would seriously look into it. She's not even suppose to have her on medicaid bc that's what the 250.00 in medical is for smh @temp
thank you @kbrown91 you have been so helpful! i hope we get it fixed too!! i wonder if she has her daughter on Medicaid too.:/ sometimes i wish i could talk to her...but for everyone's sake i really shouldn't lol.
My boyfriend didn't have all the information he needed so he called and told them, and they said it was fine they had it on file. Bc he wanted to put his daughter on his insurance so he wouldn't have to keep paying 250.00 in medical to his ex bc she was just pocketing it bc she has the little girl on medicaid. She would never give him the social to do so, but the court said they would take care of it. I hope y'all can get it fixed !! @temp
in Texas being remarried doesn't give enough reason for a change in the amount of support she would receive. if we file taxes jointly they can take my share of taxes for any back child support that he owes. they raised it when he got his most recent job. but since the birth of our son it can be lowered, i just hope they don't deny the request because of him not having the information the form is asking for. I'm annoyed with how uncooperative she has been and how he can't see his daughter because she refuses to talk to him and to let him see her. i am going to look into further though ladies thank you so much! @kbrown91 @arivera64 @casslovepink
Honestly if he isn't spending time with her and its court ordered she can get in trouble from not following the court order , so it's worth checking into too , also if he isn't seeing her , the courts will probably raise the child support since he doesn't have her at all , the more time she has with the child the more child support she will get from him as long as he's working , but if y'all are married it goes by both y'alls income
Yeah, tell him to call his case worker. she can't legally do that when there's a court order in place. She has to turn in her address and everything. He pays child support, there a order of visitation in place, so he has rights. she cannot just deny him that, and neither can the courts. @temp
So he has to call his caseworker? not the child support office? its so confusing to me. but there was a time that he called and they told him he would have to get an attorney to go after her or to do anything. he has no ides where she lives anymore. even when they did talk she always dodged questions about when he could see her and about getting a good number to contact her at. eventually she blocked him on Facebook. @kbrown91
My boyfriend also took his ex to court to lower his child support, and she didn't show, so they proceeded without her. @temp
My boyfriend has went through this too. Have him call his case worker, and report her. She has to follow those court orders, or it puts her in contempt. Also, it doesn't matter they will still lower the child support if he's still making the same or less than he was when the order was enforced, it may not be a lot but they will. We are going through a lot of shit with his ex bc he's paying 250.00 in medical for his daughter and she has medicaid, which he just found out about. so he total pays 725.00 a month for one kid. She cant go against that order, so i woukd definitely turn her in. @temp
They will have her info but the paperwork we received is asking for it anyway. and I'm not sure if they will deny the change request because he doesn't have that information to fill out, even though the child support office and court has her information. well if we can do some kind of payment plan we can take her to court but they pull so much from his checks we can barely afford anything even when i was working and i can't work at the moment because of complications with the epidural. @arivera64
She probably is, if truth be told. its so wrong. but hey they have no conscious. @temp
