my ex husband owes over 4000.00 in child support for our 7 year old son. he also owes for his share of the out of pocket medical expenses. he lives in another state and has his own painting business. I sent a letter to him with copies of the receipts and still nothing(these are for '99 out of pocket expenses. he has not called his son since December '99 and his wife is harassing me constantly. she even called my job saying i was sending threatening letters in business envelopes(which i did not do) she told the person that answered the phone that she had contacted an attorney and he said the company i worked for could be held responsible. This crazy woman is trying to get me fired from my job. there were other things that happened while my son went to visit last summer but i wont get into that. i just want the money he owes and for her to stop harassing me. what can i do?????????

My response:

One day, you'll get so fed up that you'll finally go see a lawyer, obtain an order for contempt of court, have that order recognized in the State he lives, and have the satisfaction of hearing, third hand of course, that he's gone to jail. Then, he'll have his wages garnished and or his property attached to sell in payment of the court's order.

He has been taken to court on several occasions!!!!! the cs order is through child support enforcement in the state in which i live and the state where he lives. he is self employed so he only shows what he wants to show. he goes to court and pays a small amount and agrees to pay weekly but then he stops. then he goeas back to court again. but never goes to jail. ive contacted a lawyer but says there is nothing i can do. he owns a lexus and is building a 2800 sq ft home but cannot pay 63.00 a week in child support for his son. you tell me what is wrong with the system!!!

Have you thought of holding her responsible for the harrassment? If what you say is true sounds like you could have a strong case for slander/liable/harrasment...Take the child support out of the equasion and follow that avenue, if nothing else you may at least shut her up.
Good luck.

to cybel: thank you for your response regarding my ex's wife. i contacted an attorney concerning her harrasment and the one i talked to said i really didnt have enough for harrasment. i felt like i did since she is trying to get me fired for something that i did not do. she cannot have any proof at all concerning the letters because i have not sent any. i will try another attorney. thank you

Document EVERYTHING dates times, who she spoke with etc. Sounds like with the proper attorney you will eventually have ENOUGH to shut her up. And one other thing...Keep your temper in check and dont show her your hand til your ready to play the cards. She will never know what hit her til its too late
