I was forgetting you got divorced in a different state. Disregard what I said :) Your payment isn’t based on LA’s charts.

I make approx 70k a year she now makes 61-62k

And the court ordered you to pay $1680 in child support? I don’t believe you.

She was making 51-52 at time of divorce

Her medical insurance is included plus I based it off of gross and no net and did 25% instead of 20%

I’m just happy she has become a better mom for our little girl

Husband paid the ex $1600 a month for two kids (split custody) which dropped to $1150 after one graduated. She kept the house and all possessions in the house. They split the retirement funds.

He also paid her an additional $1600 a month in temporary spousal support the first 18 months after they filed.

She was very vindictive and told the kids if they chose to live with us or visit, she would immediately notify their school that they were out of district so that they would have to change high schools. They would visit us on the weekends anyways but were too scared to spend the night. Now they are both in college and come home to live with us in the summer and all other breaks.

As I said I pay more than the minimum and decided to do so hoping she’d get off her arse and be a better mom.

So far she has been able to, hopefully that doesn’t change.

if you were so adult like, you wouldn't have needed a divorce. Not busting your balls for getting divorced. busting your balls for implying you're more mature than some of the others.

I would file suit against the company for unpaid support

Wage garnishment is bs. The govt has no business getting involved with private businesses or people's jobs re: divorce. Some of you are hypocrites who claim to be all small govt but then are pro garnishment. Not paying child support might suck, but these divorced parents have already proved that.

That’s not true at all

child support is a set amount, for the most part. i can link the charts if you'd like

That's the only part thats lined out. I'm talking about asking for accountability. The payer can ask the court for it by law but there aren't any specifics. Hell the judge can tell the payer to frick off as far as they're concerned because in the eyes of the court the dad is a deadbeat.

I was laid off and couldn't pay. My ex had me in front of a hearing officer with a quickness and this woman without knowing my situation automatically jumped in my arse as if I was a deadbeat that didn't love my kids. My attorney tells me at a later time he had another client she did this to. Since then I've asked that we skip the hearing officer and go to the judge. It may take longer but that person is obviously using her personal biases. Justice my arse.

With the advent of gay marriage, I want to see a judge sweat trying to make a custody decision between two dads. The pussy pass in family court needs to end.
