What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TX
Maybe this is a dumb question....maybe not.
I have been divorced for almost 1 year. My ex is ordered to pay $1200/mo in child support. He sends money sporadically. He has NEVER paid the full amount in any given month. He also owes quite a bit in medical bills and braces for our kids. I have sent him several very civil emails related to what he owes, how much is past due, how much braces cost ect.... His response is that I am "money hungry." I have also sent him emails asking for a mailing address for him because it says in our divorce decree that I am required to send him copies of the kids medical bills as well as a copy of the kids health insurance cards. He refuses to give me an address. (I have all this in emails) I have more recently sent him emails informing him that I DO NOT WANT to take him back to court but if he is not willing to work out some type of arrangement with me I will have no choice. He shot back with a bunch of threats about how I'm trying to get rich off of him and some other nonsense. However, since that time some of his behaviors have changed. He used to wire me money through western union (he is out of the state). Now he has mailed me a money order registered mail with "2 weeks child support" written in the memo....the amount of the money order was no where near 2 weeks worth.
Maybe this sounds stupid but I had a friend tell me to be careful because checks/money orders are like contracts and if I accept that money by depositing it in my bank account that I am essentially agreeing that in fact that total is "2 weeks worth". My response is he has never paid anything through the CS enforcement agency like he was ordered to so what does it matter.
I have already contacted my attorney and am filing several contempt charges as well as a motion to enforce child support sometime next week. And yes I will call her monday....just wondering what you guys thought.
Thank you for your opinions.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
