Month: October 2003

So, we KNEW that with their son graduating in 2002, the ex would be taking Keith back to court for more support for their daughter. She said as much and she did just that.

We received a copy of the Order/Notice to withhold Income for Child Support today. It had been filed with the court on 9/26/03.

Child Support went up to $560/mo (up from $350) and he pays $50 in arrears from when the increase was retroactive to December 1, 2002, 7 months arrears, and 3 months after their son turned 18. She apparently couldn’t file papers fast enough. Quite frankly, I’m surprised they weren’t filed, the day or the day after he turned 18. ANWAY…

The order reads: “Child support shall be retroactive to Dec. 1, 2002, and shall be paid one=half on the 1st and one-half on the 15th of every moth thereafter until further order of the court or until the child marries, dies, is emancipated, reaches 19, or reaches 18 and is not a full-time high school student residing with a parent, whichever occurs first. Any and all arrearages created by this order shall be paid at the rate of $50 per month, payable one half on the 1st and one half on the 15th of every month, commencing June 1, 2003 and continuing thereafter until paid in full. The payment of child support shall be accomplished by way of wage assignment directed to Respondents employer. Respondent shall be responsible for the direct payment to Petitioner of the child support required by this agreement, when the wage assignment is not in effect. …” blah blah blah.

She signed in May 22, 2003, our son’s 6th birthday. Keith signed it 6/21/03.

SO either this woman knew how support worked, and just wanted to be a jerk to Keith or she really didn’t know how it worked.

She was CONSTANTLY sending Keith letters and emails accusing him of being in contempt for not being current on support, which was bull, because twice a year, she would get an additional check sent to her to make up the difference each month. Keith didn’t have to pay it because it was already being garnished. ANYWAY…

In an email to him from her this morning, she continued complaining about child support. but at the end of her email she dedicated a whole paragraph to me. In this paragraph, or I should say in 7 paragraphs at the end she wrote:

” Lets try this, you must be unable to understand so let me make it perfectly clear to you. If you had kept your nosy wife out of OUR business or OUR children then you would still be paying 200.00 a month for (daughter).

If you had told your wife to stay out of the kids life then they might still want to see you and spend time with you. If you had helped is out financially without us having to ask or plead then you could still be paying 200.00 a month. If you stopped your wife from getting into all our personal business, airlines, doctors, dentists, orthodontists, schools, employers and such then maybe your children would call you or come to see you.

I guess if you want to continue to act like a spoiled brat, continue to have your wife conduct and manage your business, then you paid the price yourself.

If you feel harassment charges are in order bring it on. If you feel you want to continue to ruin the barely there relationship you have with (son) and (daughter) keep going. I warned, asked and tried to reason with you several times over the years, but yet you let your wife screw it all up for you as if you could not do that on your own.

You did all of this and you continue to send crap and sit by the mailbox and computer waiting for more creap because your wife and you have no life, no money and no future.

You are right about one thing. STOP harassing me with your poor math skills and your stupid allegations. 30 days doctor visits, isn’t it enough that you make your daughter have to drive over 70 miles away to see a doctor yet she has to call you or let you know 30 days in advance. WOW what is the point she is 16 and you have lost her too.

You could have done so much more, but what do you expect from a man who cannot even pay child support on time.”

She’s a mess.
