I dont know what to do...
We have twin boys age 10...well really "I" do but whatever...
He moved away -- 2 hour drive and has had another child since the divorce
He is over 12,000 arrears in Child support and I have recieved 16.24 TOTAL EVER!!
So I support my kids 100% with no help - nothing.
I just found out he is on public assistance. I know this man he is lazy! He cant keep a job.
What I cant understand is how the government will offer him money but nothing to the kids? I think its terrible...and NOTHING is being done. Cant suspend his license or take any action because by law they cant if someone is on public assistance.
He is doing this on purpose! Choosing to stay unemployed.
I have so much anger and hatred for this man ... I know I shouldnt say this but I wish he was dead.
He has no idea what he has done to his boys and he doesnt care...
:(

Hi there.....
In my divorce I learned that the state or government cannot and will not put the ex husband below the poverty level in ordering child support etc.....
Even if he is arrears.
Chances are, public assistance IS or is below the poverty level in your state and they can't do anything to him unless he gets a job.
I'm sorry. I know this isn't fair. It stinks and all that jazz..... believe me, I know.
Hugs to you and good luck.
