Ex not paying for anything or support

[LisaLetang]

State of Washinton.

I am a mother of 3 small children in the State of Washington. I have two jobs and my ex "claims" to be unemployed (though his business card and articles in the Seattle PI say he's CFO of a local start up). He refuses to pay any child support or other expenses such as school tuition, daycare expenses or summer camp for the kids - All wich are in the order of support for him to contribute to. He just says he doesn't have an y money an refuses to pay. Child services said they can't do anything until he doesn't pay ANYTHING for 6 months - he knows this and sent a $500 pmt in January - he owes me over $18,000, just in support. Is there anything else that I can do? I feel waiting on DCS is a complete waste of time. Can I take this to court myself? Hope someone can help.What is the name of your state?

Can I take this to court myself?

Yes. ANd you probably should. Unless you want this to continue.

No Pmts

Washington

So if I go to court and file, what should I have with me? Do I need the details of all that he owes me? Tuition, support, camp etc?
