Child Support 15 Years
I have recieving child support for 15 years after a very abusive
marriage and nasty seperation and divorce, it started out at $167.00 for 2 kids, to the present it is $357.00. My ex is a self employed plumber of 20 years and claims he makes 12 grand a year, My 1st year filing taxes on my own the IRS took $2600.00 of it to pay his back taxes on his business, I had a decree at the time saying I was not liable for his back taxes. What is wrong with this picture here, if I was working a job for 20 years and making only 12 grand, I would find a different job, If I meet the criteria for the review of child support then they take both parents gross wages to calculate the support, which is fine, I have no problem with that, I know self- employed people can deduct alot, for the new law it's only wages of employee's (which there is only 1) and material. I was told to ask the judge to take the average wage of a plumber in the area to determine support, I was also told that they can go back 5 years. But I am unsure of all this????? I just want what is fair, kinda hard to beleive you can live on 12 grand a year with a fiance 2 more kids, nice home, new van, new truck and after my son's almost fatal car accident last fall he came home with a brand new harley! Wow, wished I could make that money stretch like that!!!! Any opinions??? |

It's bad enough the damn judges do It. |

He's paying what's required under the order. == But I am unsure of all this????? I just want what is fair, == Define "fair." Is "fair" that you have the same lifestyle he has? He doesn't owe you a lifestyle. He owes you 357. a month and it appears he's paying it and has been since it was ordered. If you want the same lifestyle he has with his subsequent family, it's up to you to work for it. How old are the kids? They must be close to grown by now. |

Wow, wished I could make that money stretch like that!!!! Any opinions??? It doesn't matter what your court order said about taxes. A state court has no authority to create an order that alters the application of any federal law including IRS tax law. Get over your ex. After 15 years you need to move on and stop micro-managing his life the way you think he should live it. If you file for a change of circumstance in CS payments the law will allow the court to go back to the filing date of your motion, not 5 years. == Damn, that's not fair! Oh, yeah--"fair" is that he gives all his money to her so his family doesn't have a dime because, after all, she was there first! Did you get the connection between the Harley and the "almost fatal car accident?" That must be a violation of the you-can't-buy-a- Harley-after-an-almost-fatal-car-accident rule. |

"Fair" is when all ex-wives are required by court order to clean their ex's houses once a week, do their grocery shopping, wash/and iron their clothes, provide sexual services when desired, and continue any other pre-divorce contributions to the marriage in the post-divorce era. If it is "fair" for husbands to continue to provide money through their earnings power post-divorce, it is "fair" for wives to be ordered to continue providing their marriage contributions too. |

Gosh, Maggie, how much more than $714 per month do you think it takes to
provide for a child? I don't quite understand your complaint. "MaggieMay" wrote in message oups.com...

Wow, wished I could make that money stretch like that!!!! Any opinions??? Re Taxes: There were ways you could have avoided losing the $2600. Not everything is done through family court. Re Child Support: If you have been working a job for 15 years and cannot support yourself and your two children on your income plus $357/month, maybe YOU need to find a different job. I guarantee you that you will find much more satisfaction in not needing his child support at all than by worrying how to get it increased. This is not to say he shouldn't hold some financial responsibility toward your kids, but the only way you can truly be free of him (as a woman) is to not need him. Beverly |

Careful! Their "marriage contrubutions" may have been little more than staying at home snacking and watching TV all day, spending his money on the weekends, and basically being lazy. But your point is well taken. |
