I have had an ongoing battle to get my back child support. My ex believes that if his employer doesn't take out the money- he doesn't have to pay anything. He repeatedly changes jobs, so the new employers have 6 weeks to start paying. This has left him with a huge balance.
The county child support enforcement agency has partnered with the county prosecutor to get him for contempt (for non-payment) and get the back money. I had nothing to do with this- it's automatic when someone repeatedly misses payments. Of course my ex fails to show up for any of the hearings.
Now I find out they are billing ME for the court costs. I haven't gotten any of the money, and did not initiate the court proceedings. Is that fair? They say I owe almost 300 dollars!
The funny thing is- he calls me screaming- "you know I'm going to have to miss a day of work!!!!" Well- if you don't pay- you're going to miss a lot more than a day!
