What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Utah, they reside in Ohio.
So Im asking this because I dont know legally how this is happening. Im open to answering any questions asked about the situation but please dont be snippy or insulting.
My bio father and my mother were divorced in the early 80s, child support and visitation were set, the whole 9. Very shortly after my mother, who my bro and me resided with moved from Ohio to Florida, met my step dad then moved to Utah with him.
So my father has never visited, sent b.day cards, phone calls, c.support, none of it. It was ok because my step dad filled in the gaps completely and I didnt feel anything was lacking, parentally, my entire childhood.
Long story cut very short.... My bio, my father, has always been in and out of prison, always been poor, always on drugs, is over 20 grand in arrears for c.s.
I dont blame him fornot visiting, we were states away, I dont blame him for non support, he knew I was provided for and I know he is a p.o.s.
While I dont have a real relationship with my father, I do with his wife of 20+ years. She is a door mat, working 3 jobs while he sits around getting stoned all day. Thats another issue entirely.
So, to get to the quick, im 30, my bro is 28, there is back c.s. that should be paid, no question, but they are taking it from my step mothers income tax retun!
And I dont know absolutely all of the details, but i know this... The person who should be paying the support isnt, his wife is.
3 years in a row she has had her income tax taken to pay back c.s. For kids she didnt have. Ive told her to divorce his butt or file separately but she is the type that wont help herself unless you do itfor her.
Now i know that the arrears must be paid, but by HIM! It is not fair, IMO, that he is a p.o.s. That doesnt work and sits around high everyday and on top of that has somebody else pay his back child support!
Somebody please shed some light on this. Is it possible that his current wife, because she is the household income, would have to pay back c.s. For kids she didnt have? What advice can I give her other than divorce this p.o.s.?
Please disregard the grammatical errors, Im on an IPad, the keyboard is labor intensive. I do know that I's should be capitalized and all that, but i dont want to push an extra button.
