I FINALLY got my alimony !!!!!!!

I got my check for back alimony last Friday night when I dropped my son off at his father’s apartment. I walked up to the door with my son, he handed me the check, I said “thank you”, he said nothing and I left. What I really wanted to say was “it’s been a pleasure doing business with you”, but I didn’t. I have done my very best to remain detached. I did not rub it in his face when I won, or when his motion to reconsider was denied. I did not remind him of the offer I made to him last fall where he could have gotten off by paying me about 10% of what he will wind up paying. If the roles were reversed I highly doubt he would have acted the same.

So, now all am waiting for is the money he paid to my lawyer for her services. He owes her an additional $100 for the work she did in rebuttal to his motion to reconsider. My lawyer is holding the money he has already paid her in escrow. Also, he was supposed to make a payment to me on the 21st, but I have yet to receive it (and, he dropped our son off at my house that day). It is the first of 33 more to come. I have been very patient throughout this process, mostly because I know it keeps him off balance. If I do not get it by the end of week I will send him an e-mail reminder.

Thanks for all of your support.

I live in Goffstown-just west of Manchester. I was born in Bridgeport, CT but lived most of my childhood just outside of Hartford until I went to college in MA. I stayed in MA for about 5 years. My ex and I got married and moved up to NH because we couldn't afford a house in MA. That was 17 years ago. I am still living in the same house-although it has changed a lot. I love New Hampshire.

Did you go to Bay Path? I am not sure if there are any other schools in Longmeadow, but my sister went there.
