Why have Interest on back child support?
by Speckle
I agree 100 percent on paying child support. What I do not agree with is interest on it. Why reward a parent with interest for doing what they are suppose to do, raise their children. Things do happen and because of that, you can fall behind. Making up the arrears would be a lot easier if there were no interest. I can't marry the man I'm in love with and have been with for 14 years because his debt becomes mine. She on the other hand has been married and divorced several times since their divorce. Each funded by income tax returns. I'm not joking about that. She called to see when she would get the tax return so she could get herself a divorce (it was asked in a drunken, Texas draw). As I said before, you should always pay child support even if you know the kids are being raised by their grandmother. Not a bad thing considering her choice of men, abusive. We have been paying $100 a month, income tax returns and pfd's from living in Alaska towards the back support and never see the balance go down. All the money goes in her pocket. I don't understand this. Shouldn't payments towards arrears be applied so the unfair interest can come down? Is there anyone out there that cans recommend a good affordable Texas lawyer?
