May need a lawyer... DVORCE NEVER ENDS

[Bassics]

First...hate on the bureacrats that the VOTERS put into office. Don't hate the State of Texas.

And WTF exactly is the difference?

[Bassics]

I don't disagree that the system isn't perfect. But the example you used is not the best example of that. What you are referring to is that child support is based on the father's salary. Hence a man making 30k will not pay the same as a man making 100k, and vice versa. I don't think that is unfair. If a child has a certain standard of living (determined by the father's salary...then why should the child's standard of living suffer because of a divorce? I know, I know...there are bitches out there that use the extra to do what THEY want and not provide for the child per the support given. At that point the issue lies with a shithead mom and not the judicial system. Surely there is a way to deter this and I have my own thoughts on what they should be, but too tired right now to lay them out.

I would say that the powers that be should revamp it/overhaul it..but they fucked it up in the first place. The problem lies with the individual powers of the judge. This country is a rule of law type (in addition to others) but some judges have chips on their shoulders and all too often try to "make examples" out of people; but that's a whole 'nother conversation.

Nanny stater all the way huh. Your standards should be everyone else's.

Considering we have about $3,000 tied up in the wedding and honeymoon that is supposed to happen in 5 weeks..


This fucking sucks.

if worse comes to worse, you could still go through with all that and no one would have to know about the license. Just get it when all that clears up.

I can't wait to beat the shit out of any of my kids that even mention marriage or having kids.

Lmao. Damn, denny!

Just let them talk to me for 30 minutes. I've got this.

Actually Leah that is the plan and the reason I am not freaking out too much. The state of Texas recognizes common law marriages so we can submit something to the court saying we are married, I can have my name changed and go on with life.

[Denny]

I figure one count of domestic violence would just land me probation. The beating I'd give the first one SHOULD be enough to convince the rest. Then Eric will sit with them and give his story in the recovery room.

I wish the Liberals would do something useful with their Communistic ideals and allow parent to neuter and spay their kids like fucking dogs. After I'm done, then I'll bitch until the law is removed.

That fucking blows!

My ex owes about $400 in back child support but when I called the AG, they file me that they will send him a letter, but will not varnish it unless it is greater than his monthly payment.

Lmao. Damn, deny!

File? Varnish? Deny? You're a teacher for crying out loud!

[Denny]

File? Varnish? Deny? You're a teacher for crying out loud!

No one can deny Denny...

[Leah]

File? Varnish? Deny? You're a teacher for crying out loud!

Bwahahaha! That WAS horrible! We're in shreveport and i was typing that on my phone as I was getting ready. Lol although denny is correct. I just can't quit him.

Suck it up. My buddy got divorced and the mother has custody of both his son and daughter. Mom drops the son off at my buddy's mom's house for weekend visitation, tells her that the girl was sick and she was going to keep her for the weekend until she feels better, and that was the last they had heard or seen of either of them for nearly TEN YEARS.

He was having to pay for both kids, had to pay to have custody orders redrawn since he has the son, and she would not show up for court dates. Guess what the AG told him: If you want to get your child support fixed, you need to find your ex wife and get her to court. Until that day, you pay for both kids every month or we are throwing you in jail...

Just another fine example of our wonderful, non biased family court system.

My son's mom waited 6ish months or so to get a custody/CS agreement in place. Nevermind that I had him 90% of the time. I started off owing 6 months in arrears because they went back to the day he was born. I had $1800 or so in receipts for diapers, wipes, clothes, scripts, food, etc. Not to mention the cash I had given her for whatever. I kept a log of it all. None of it mattered. They didn't count a single penny of it towards the arrears.

My log was tossed out because she sat there and lied to the AG office and said I never gave her anything. My receipts didn't count, because the credit card wasn't in my name. I used my parents card because I didn't have a CC at the time, so I wanted receipts and the billing statements as proof. I thought I was being smart about it, and they still fucked me with no lube.

Fast forward 4 months. I forcefully removed my son from his egg donor's possession, filed a TRO against her, filed for a change in custody, etc.was granted full custody, she had supervised visits only, and basically no rights and was supposed to pay ME child support. The sorry bastards were still deducting CS from my checks for 4-6 months, custody arrangement didn't matter, and she to this day hasn't given me a penny. You would think they would have taken my CS money, deducted what she owed me monthly and send me that check, and sent her the rest. Nope. She got it all and didn't pay me squat.

The real kicker? Her court ordered CS is $180/month and has been for nine years. I was paying in the neighborhood of $500/month, and she didn't/couldnt pay a measly $180/month out of what I was having to pay her.


Fuck the Texas Family Courts. Nothing is fair. The mother is protected no matter what. Fathers are ALWAYS wrong, no matter the situation. Even when the mom turns in to a crackhead and you have legitimate, undeniable proof. You're still the scum of the earth for actually being responsible, removing your child from a dangerous situation, etc. Never in my life have I witnessed such unwarranted hatred, disdain, disgust, discrimination, whatever you want to call it. As far as Texas Family Courts and their employees are concerned, if you have a dick between your legs, you are worse than Satan himself.

Oh, and go try to enforce a child support order where the mother isn't paying. They will literally laugh in your face. And even if you're lucky enough to catch the one fucking judge in the building that says "Wait, this isn't right, how the he'll did this happen", you won't get a damn bit of help. Judge filed a bench warrant for non payment. Which means if she gets arrested anywhere in the state, she can't bond out until she sees that judge. She was arrested twice after the bench warrant was issued. Bonded out both times. The bench warrant disappeared in to thin air.

I got so fed up and disgusted, I just had to let it go. I'll never see a dime. Not that $180/mo really does any good anyways. It was causing anger and hatred to build up in me, the whole situation, the way I was treated... It was sickening. I had to let it go before it ruined me.

I've read what you had to do with that shit before, Brent, but reading it again even makes me mad. Ridiculous.

Holy Shit dude... makes me want to pay the 600 and go on with life....

It's funny, the few times I've had to deal with the AG folks over the phone, you could FEEL the condescension in their voice.....

"SURE You are up to date in your payments Mr. Kaufmann....."
"Let US decide that for you..."
