i'm going to be as completely honest as i can. i married a man that had 3 children with 2 different women. we had 2 children together. our marriage was horrible, that makes 5 children with 3 diff women now. i filed for divorce. divorce was granted, i have custody of our 2 children. he has another child already. i have dismissed the back child support amount over 2 years ago. it was almost 15,000. he now has 6 children, from 4 different women. he has talked to me about giving up rights to our two children, he has custody of none of his chidlren. that's an idea, but i am not re-married, and i don't feel a judge would just let him terminate his rights. however, my ex has expressed interest in it, so i've done whatever i can to make his life a little easier. i'm not a vindictive ex wife, i just want whats best for my children. the man has 6 kids, how can he afford to pay child support for all of them? i'm trying to cut him a break but the office of child support won't stop withholding because there isn't a court order terminating support. what can i do? i have thought about having my attorney file for a termination of child support, reason being financially unable to provide for our children and the other 4, and unable to care for 6 children, etc. he's complained that he can't afford such and such amount coming out of his checks every two weeks. and he's only had "this" job for about 5 months since he was arrested on a body attachment for being behind in child support again. i feel in my heart this man will continue to try to have a "family" with the next woman he fathers a child with, and this will be a cycle that will not break. granted, his life is no concern of mine, but i have two bright wonderful children to care for and protect. and i don't know what to do. sorry about the babbling, but i guess my question is this, will a judge terminate child support based on the non custodial parents ability to pay or not pay? I am not opposed. this child support issue has become more of a hassle. not a help. and for this man to have just had yet one more child, come on. i want a finalization to this. seriously.
