What is the name of your state? WA
My daughter turned 18 this month, her dad has never paid child support. He works under the table as a welder in WA State. He also claims public assistance and was receiving it until Feb 2006; now he is receiving food stamps. It is my understanding that his wife was able to get them assistance, but they have no children living at home. My daughter will graduate from H.S. in June and continue on with college. I have been told that his obligation is void because she is 18 (not that he owned up to any obligation in the past). Of course, now he has decided to start calling my daughter and regularly; I am sure it is because he thinks he is home free now.... he made it 18 years evading and working the system! Thank goodness my daughter can see right through him; however it doesn't change the fact that he is trying to now embed himself in her life. How can someone like this work the system? I feel like my only retaliation is to finally expose the fraud and con-man he is. Is it slander or defamation of character if I publish and essay exposing this deadbeat? Is there anything I can do to get him to pay and help with college?
