[quote]PM - it's not JL dragging him anywhere. She doesn't even have to be there. This is the state CSE taking him for non-payment of support... and because of the amount, he is facing jail time. It's no different than CSE taking his drivers license or tax return.. they are enforcing the CSE order.. [/quote]
Umm.. no.. not exactly. SHE has contacted them. TWICE. Back last fall and again now. She initiated the action, they're just finishing what she started.
Trust me.. there's pages upon pages of postings on the subject of who she called, when etc etc etc.
I always find it amazing how quickly people rush forward to pat people on the back, but just as quickly forget the TRUTH. JL initiated this. Plain and simple.

Personally if JL stayed out of it entirely and didn't even go- I don't think he'd get jail time this time. I think they would give him a little time to get a lump sum amount to show in good faith, maybe rework what his new CS should be (I think they should do 40 hours a week/min. wage) and something each month for the rest of the arrears.
I don't think that he will be thrown in jail THIS TIME, even WITHOUT JL's testimony.

[quote]Thanks.
I wouldn't mind knocking off interest in the least. I'm open to negotiation, but not the negotiation his friend sent me last night. I owe my son more than that, and I have to be strong for him. [/quote]
Oh good god.. can you please knock off the Helen Reddy routine? Seriously... majorly nauseating. From the same woman who is all namby pamby.. "but I want to heellllppppp him". Barf...

Maybe, maybe not. They are very strict in my county - there have been plenty of men put behind bars by my own attorney as well as CSE for owing less than what XH owes. They are very strict on the enforcement - I will be there and I'm trying to negotiate this b/c I DON'T want to see him be thrown in jail at this point, b/c at this point I DON'T think that's what he needs, and I don't think it will help.

IMO, it doesn't matter who initiated it. It's something that NEEDED to be addressed and resolved.

mmhmm.. whatever. Karma's a big bytch.. that's all I gotta say. He made an offer that COULD set them off on a better path. Her ex will have that letter and her reply, in court. I don't think everyone should be jumping up and down and high fiving her just yet.

You're right. I wish that our case was in your county (where Ex lives now). As I think he would QUICKLY pay what he is in contempt of because MY ex cares 100% about saving face, and not facing jail time. However, in the county our case is in (where both you and I work), they are soooo lax on everything. Then there's the county where *I* live now, and they are totally anti-dad, as you've seen as of late. LOL...figures I'm in the county where I am.

Yeah, BM #1 is also in this county where we work and they're not near as proactive in enforcing the child support - his previous employer, while they did garnish a hundred or two every couple of months, didn't garnish anything for BM and CSE in her county did send the order. Not even until we went to court last time did they garnish for DS's CS.

I wonder if your ex having another child (the 'first' child) will work for him a far as being thrown in jail goes. Will the county be likely to throw him in jail knowing he has another kid to support (one that came first?)?

Around here if a company is in receipt of a garnishee and fails to act on it they become liable for the amounts owed.
