What magical wonderland are y'all living in where child support payments actually get PAID?
I got divorced from my 1st husband over eight years ago. (He left me, BTW -- I had an 18 month old child, jack shit to my name, bruises from my last beating, and nowhere to live, asshole kicked me out.) The court ruled that he owed me $130 a mo. in child support. A year later, after having received maybe $300 all told over the course of the last year, I took him to court, and they ruled to garnish his wages.
So he quits his job and goes to work in a friend's warehouse -- said friend agreed to pay him under the table so that "that bitch ex-wife" wouldn't get his money. Meanwhile, I'm on food stamps and welfare AND working to keep my baby fed. After that, he moved from minimum-wage job to minimum-wage job, and moving from town to town, keeping just ahead of the garnishment paperwork, so I got nothing.
And I've continued to get nothing -- but it doesn't make any difference now anyway. I make a good living, I'm off all gov't assistance (have been for 6 years now) and my child's needs are taken care of, my rent is paid on time, and I don't need his piddly $130 a month.
If you want to bitch about men getting shafted with unfair child support payments, thank fucksticks like my ex for being deadbeats and making the men who try to keep up with payments and take care of their responsibilities look bad.
