EARNING TAX-FREE MONEY AND STILL REFUSES TO PAY

by Linda
(Corpus Christi, Tx. USA)

When I married my husband, he had poor credit, a broken down car, and owed back taxes. Lord knows why I married him anyway. Shortly after we married, he began taking over-seas jobs which paid lots of tax-free money.

I took his money and restored his old accounts. All the while he was using my credit cards since I paid all the bills. Things were looking up.
A year later, we had our son who was born with severe birth complications. A divorce quickly ensued. Since my ex-husband made so much more than I did and had been deliberately hiding his pay check, the judge ordered him to pay 75% of all our accounts and my son's medical bills.
He has never paid any of that.

He later went to jail for 6 months because he claimed he was not getting paid, but it was discovered he was depositing 12,000 at the 1st of each month. Because of his anger, he caused me great stress in taking care of all our our bills and my son's expensive milk and feeding tube equipment. The judge saw right through him.
He is now working in Nigeria, making a lot of money, bought himself a brand new King Ranch truck but still hasn't made any effort to pay all these back expenses.

I had to manage to pay them since they were in my name, but I could have used that money for a college investment for my son. Can I take him back to court since he never paid what the judge ordered? My son is now 12, and his father never sees him. There is no acknowledgement of Christmas or birthdays ever. Since I know he will never help with any college expense, I'd like this past judgment for my son's future.

yes yes yes
by: former single mom

if he was ordered by a judge to pay it then don't let him back down. file a motion for contempt (means he didn't do what the judge told him to do) or file a claim to sue him for the total amount. your son deserves to be cared for even if your ex doesn't think so.

Create for yourself!!!

You should really learn to stand on your own to feet. Create something that you can sustain, although your ex husband is not stepping up to his responsibiltys. Stop trying to react out of revenge and begin being active in your life and your childs life. I have no idea what this will look like when its complete, but you will continue to push through. He will have what ever he has coming to him, he may even have a change in life and realize that what he is doing is not right in his mind. I don't believe that you will force him to do more.
