Oh no, now what do I do? - 02/14/03 10:12 PM
Since I left in May, I have gotten regular child support checks. Suddenly I didn't get one, and haven't for the last 4 weeks. I have called child support recovery several times and they said it's coming. Today they told me they sent papers to the new employer Jan. 15, and were told he quit the job Jan. 5. He had been on unemployment, but is no longer on that either. (In Iowa, child support automatically comes out of wages.) I know he is working because he bought a new truck in Dec. and makes a $400/mo payment, as well as the mortgage. He lives in an isolated area in the country with a 1/4 mile lane, but a neighbor has seen a semi truck down there on weekends, so I suspect he is still working but has not told child support recovery.
I was really worried when he sent me a letter saying he would no longer see the kids. (Because he refuses to go to court ordered counseling and have supervised visits.)
I don't know where to go from here.....I only work part time so I can be home with the kids, but it's not enough to support us without the child support. My degree is in restaurant management, but in our small town I"ll never find child care for the weekends and evenings I"d have to work in that field.
Help! Any suggestions?
