here we go again!!!

Here we go again. My daughters XH had child support reduced again and was suppose to pay his part of medical bills from the first of the year well he did some but at a much lower amount. She is just grateful to have received anything from the deadbeat. So do you just count your blessings that you got anything or spend everything with an attorney to make him pay. Why is it always about their money??? He's not hurting her but the baby and the jerk doesn't get it. BTW he still owes her from money that was court ordered which she desperately needs.

I am in the exact same situation. My ex pays less than $400 a month for his regular CS that is garnished from his wages. He's to pay half of medical and childcare expenses but he pays me back in small random amounts and at his own pace. I feel like I'm extending a line of credit to a deadbeat and at this rate he will never pay it off. I get paid less than he does and do not have a roommate like he does (his girlfriend) and somehow I can figure out how to scrape up the money for these needed expenses while he claims he's too broke to pay. I'm also in a quandry wondering if it's worth it to bother going through the effort and expense of hiring an attorney to get this taken care of. I sat down with one lawyer and he told me I should be grateful for what I have and leave it at that. I was shocked and very saddened by his attitude. Now I'm nervous to even bother, but my small savings is dwindling and I have very very little in my checking account until pay day. My ex doesn't seem to care that I had to pay $1000 for each child to go to camp this summer. It was a huge stretch and it took nearly all my tax refund :(. It's frustrating to say the least.
