What is the name of your state? Washington

My ex now owes me over $75,000 in back CS for 2 kids. He is working for his family that just started up a business this last year. He's got money in his pockets. Even bought 2 dirt bikes. He did pay me $189.00 on Halloween which was the first payment in years. Since then he told me he sent a payment in, I never got it. I called CSO and they said he must be lying to me. Even his family tells me that the support is being pulled from his payroll.
I have spent over $10 grand in legal fees during the first 5 years of our divorce. The last 4 years I chose to spend my money on living and raising our children and let CSO do their job to enforce payment. They have takin him to court numerous times for contempt on the child support. They issue bench warrants and then "squash" them. He'll get a slap on the hand and told to get a job. Not once have they put him in jail. He worked under the table for years. Now that he is working, and it's with his own parents and sister, I am still not getting paid. I told CSO about money in his pocket and the dirt bikes, which probably are not in his name.
Can't anything more be done to this dead beat? I am tired of the courts slapping his hand. Why don't they follow the punishment with jail like the court orders say?

Don't know what to tell you except sorry.

My husband is getting his chops busted over $136 that NOBODY, including the child support enforcement worker can figure out......

Does your ex not file any taxes?

No I don't beleive he has filed taxes since we divorced. I do know that the Tax man is after him for money owed. He also has a 5 year from another lady that he owes support for too.
I just wish that they would at least put him in jail on work release program so that the kids would get something. He has now learned that he won't be put in jail if he tells them he will pay. Then he walks out of court and does what he always does, play. Must be nice. What a great court system we have in this country!
