XH hasn't paid CS since end of August which I didn't receive until 09/14/06. Don't ask me why. I had to have my caseworker call and have them release funds to me.
He was supposed to go for an Show Cause Hearing tomorrow but low and behold I receive a letter TODAY saying that his show cause hearing was ADJOURNED until January!!!!! By the time he is seen in January he will be behind over $3800. I know some of you great parents here that amount is chump change compared to what you are owed but still I needd that money.
I have left a message for my caseworker asking why this was adjourned because believe there was no payment made!!!!
TIA

I feel ya.

I count myself lucky here. I keep an Excel spreadsheet which I mail to XH at the end of each month and it's got total expenses, his half, what he's paid, and what he owes. He usually pays up, but when he gets 3 months behind, I have my lawyer drop him a very nice "nasty-gram" and he writes a check!
I do wish that I had the guts to write "winter coat..... $80" or "boots...... $28 each" and "guitar lessons....... $120" and "violin lessons........ $60"
I just keep it to medical expenses. He did, after all, buy Gracie's violin. *rolling my eyes*

Grrr! I can soooo relate. It has been a constant battle for me to get any cs. He has absolutely no reason for not paying except that he dosen't feel like it, I guess. I hate, hate, hate that even while separated 11 months he still has control of the money situation. I have just applied for a garnishment of his wages but that'll take time. It's just soooooo frustrating.
Why can't they just do the right thing and PAY????

I LOVE spreadsheets!!!! Everything in one place.... organized.... neat.... clean.
You know, my X told me the same thing.... "Just let me know how much and I'll wrtie you a check." It was EASY at first because no one was in counseling! Now we're (I'm) racking up at least $120/month for that alone and both the girls were sick at the beginning of school, so I had those $15 copays. It does all add up, and he forgets that I pay it and then he reimburses me. He should be jumping up and down in joy because our official agreement says that HE is responsible for carrying insurance PLUS 50%. My insurance is free now for family coverage, whereas he was paying $75/month just to have the girls on his. Ergo, he's SAVING $75/month!
Why CAN'T they just do what's right?????
