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.
