Child Support Drama
Feb. 20th, 2007 12:27 pmYou know, if it can be messed up I'm sure The Office of the Attorney General of Texas will find a way...
I received in the mail today a copy of the new writ of withholding for the Rat Bastard. It had an error. Of course.
Since my daughter turned 18 they had to amend the order so that he is no longer paying current child support and only paying on the arrears... which was over $20,000 last I checked and with somewhere around 12% interest tacked on each month I'm sure it's a bit more than that now. When he was paying current support he paid only $45 per month toward the arrears which didn't put a dent in it since the interest was more than that per month. The amended writ of withholding for some reason just dropped off the current support and only ordered him to pay $45 per month for the arrears. At that rate he would owe another $100,000 in interest by the time he paid the now owed amount. My daughter would be an old woman on her death bed and the arrears would still be owed.
In any case, that isn't what the original order stated so I called them to correct the matter. The new papers are in the mail now with the correct amount of $274 per month. At that rate he may have it paid off in about ten years... maybe. I'm quite sure he wouldn't be smart like my oldest daughter's father and pay more than owed when he can to get it paid off faster... no, this one thinks he's punishing me when he doesn't pay, doesn't think about the interest compounding and putting himself further in debt.
