KEITH CRABILL wrote in message Just a ? what do u do with someone who is 3500 behind in child support, Write it off, you are never going to get it. Instead work towards getting yourself and children into an independantly sound financial situation. Deal with your current life for yourself. .Should i continue to persue this.Or should i just sit back and wait till she wants to see her boys Sit back and wait. When she does appear DO NOT mention money. Instead help her to build a relationship with the children. When that happens she will start to buy them things herself. At first these will appear wasteful and unfair to you as they will be the nicities that you cannot afford and the children will love. Wait. When the time is right, and you are beginning to get along without too much confrontation, (which is very detrimental to the kids) suggest that some new clothes or shoes for the children would be a good idea. The children will love them and want to wear them all the time because "mummy" bought them. Ignore the fact that you have been buying in second hand shops or getting hand me downs from friends with older kids. When mummy sees for herself the joy the children get from something as basic as new clothes she will want to do more for them and, here is the clincher, she will think that she has done it all on her own! Over a few years you will be able to expand on the "essentials" like school books and heating bills. NEVER link access with money. Slowly slowly catchy monkey! It worked for me. Although I had to apply for maintenance, I knew there was little chance of getting any on a regular basis so I asked the judge for £1 a week on the basis that I would rather not receive £1 than not receive £50. The judge made an order for £5 a week which, as I expected, has never been paid. She does now however buy clothes and shoes, has paid for a tank of oil last winter, bought a bicycle for our son and paid the odd school bill. I do not have the weekly anguish of not getting the money, she does not have the legal constraints and our son is delighted with everything he gets. Take a long term approach. Dennis |

Forget the money......be thankful you have custody, and don't EVER consider throwing it back in her face when she wants to see the kids. The kids are bad off enough as it is having only one consistant parent in their lives. |

No phone call, no email, no card. Nothing. *b Yea, I know what that's like. Bran's not really old enough to understand or really care, but my ex has no idea when his own child's birthday is. It, obviously, doesn't bother Bran being 2 and a half, but as he gets older, I wonder if it might. He doesn't even know his own father, so I'm hoping it won't bother him as much if my ex continues to ignore B, as well as myself. I'll stop right now... Before I end up ranting and raving and saying things that do not belong here, or anywhere, for that matter. |

Dennis I just have to say that is really, really good advice. I should consider trying out some of your advice, but I know it would be useless. But anyways, I really did enjoy reading what you had to say. This is one thing I will seriously keep in my mind and hopefully come to a point where I can think back and remember all of this. |

Forget the money......be thankful you have custody, and don't EVER consider throwing it back in her face when she wants to see the kids. The kids are bad off enough as it is having only one consistant parent in their lives. Agreed. Just focus on the kids. And sorry, but it's not really your business where she gets the money to move, or to buy a car, or to do whatever else. If she *were* paying child support do you think you should have to account for how you spend it? That's what the custody decision is for. lm |

So why are you whinging about the arrears? Tell you what, why not pursue it and get your children's mother thrown into jail. That would make you a real hero. Dennis |
