A little background
Divorce papers were filed in January of 1996, he was arrested for a domestic abuse incident that happened when I was getting my mail out of his truck early in the month. (I finally filed on him for hitting and threatening me)
September of 1996 temporary orders, ordered him to pay $250 per week in child support (his income for 1995 was over $80,000, however when he finally filed his taxes,in 1998, he told the IRS, $60,000).
The divorce was final in June of 1997, instead of paying $250 a week during the temporary period in paid:
5/02/97 $250
5/09/97 $250
5/23/97 $250
6/02/97 $250
6/16/97 $250
A total of $1250 in a 10 month period, he was in arrears of over $8500
Divorce was granted 6/17/97 and took until 11/21/97 for the paperwork to be completed and signed off by the judge.
The following amounts are what he owes from each subsequent year:
1997(from 6/20) $793.50
1998 $264.50
1999 $661.50
2000 $1929.50
2001 $3121.75
2002 $1935.75
2003 $3165.75
total $11,872.25
In July of 2000, I went to his Pastor and asked for intervention in encouraging him to pay support and the arrearage. The pastor held a meeting with myself, the "Ex" and the "Ex"s wife. They agreed that he could pay an additional $50 a week for one year to stay current and catch up on the arrearage. I received a total of 9 payments of $182.50. Then 2 payments of $264.50, one on 10/16/00 and one on 11/16/00
And not another dime until 3/01/01.
He was also court ordered to pay the 1995 and 1996 property taxes. The order read
and shall hold the respondent (me) harmless from any penalty or interest due thereon.
He owes $4640.42 in taxes, penalties,and interest.
But .... yeah now the but... it has been over 4 years, so the judge may deny that to be awarded.
We are asking for the temporary order arrearage,(most likely will not get that, but judge never knew in '97 that he hadn't paid that),'97 to current arrearage, his part of the property taxes and an additional amount of $4049.85 for the interest on the property taxes I owe.
Of course while I was in the process of going after him, my attorney found a tax suit filing from the county on my home.
That court date is in October... the "Ex" court date is reset for S.ept. 3.
And before anyone feels sorry for the "Ex", know that he pays overdraft fees to his bank of about $5000 or more a year (ask me how I know).
He has a $150,000 house,bought all new furniture and electronics, has bought 2 new trucks(the last, a Dodge Ram Diesel, $600 a month), new work trailer, new gooseneck trailer, another horse, and his wife has had 3 new cars. Plus, they eat out 95% of their meals because she has a housecleaning business (mostly cash payments) and doesn't want to cook.
He is self employed and receives alot of cash payments. He has been audited by the IRS, he owed them $30, 000 and settled for $4000. He lied on each tax return the full amount of his income. I know that because he told me.
Well, that is enough for now...
Ladies, if you would like to know how much your "Ex" has in his checking account...email me.
