What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? ohio
I have been disabled and unable to work for six years. I have obsessive compulsive disorder. I also have muscle myopathy (weakness) and short term memory problems brought on by use of stantin drugs. I had a very good work record for twenty years, working steadily despite ocd symptoms. I paid my child support then when due, in full always on time. The muscle and memory issues surfaced several years ago, making work impossible since then. At the time, my two daughters were both near or over 18. Child support had stopped for one, and stopped soon ofter disability for the other. I had accumulated a 3,000 dollar back support bill by the time my last daughter became of age. I have filed for and fought for disability I am entitled to by my work record. I have not received it to date due to difficulty proving muscular and memory problems with objective tests, and my ocd not being quite severe enough on it's own to cause disability according to social security. The only income in our household is a small ssi check for my wife, and ssi for two of my three younger children (second marriage) for being small in stature. It is illegal to use their income on anything but their needs to my best knowledge. I was taken to court a few years ago for failure to pay this total, a 'motion to show cause'. They reduced the amount to 50.oo a month, but would not stop it without my disability being confirmed by social security. My father paid this debt for me up to recently. He now is in a nursing home and cannot help further (last three months or so). The debt has gone unpaid since then. I will not use my childrens' or wife's money for such a debt, it is illegal as far as I know and just wrong. My ex wife has been very aggressive and unsympathetic regarding my payment of this debt, as has the child support agency. I have explained my situation to them, they have responded only by filing another 'motion to show cause' again. This motion carries with it contempt of court if convicted. I am due in court in june for this issue.I would be very grateful for any helpful advice or help which can be offered. Thanks..Dennis (fyi 1,500 of this debt is still owed, and I am entitled to a attorney with this charge if I choose at initial hearing)
