Canada
May 4, 2007 8:37am CST
i posted how i talked to my ex and he keeps arguing with me that he swears he has paid his child support. well it goes through a third pary. i've waited over a week i still haven't gooten it. he said he paid it all wich was almost 1000. now it's up again this month to $1223. what's more frustrating then not getting the money is the fact that he yells at me for 30 minutes saying he paid and so on. he argues with me about it and lying to my face. i don't get why he has to argue with me when he's not paying and lying about it. i spoke to the third party people today and they comfirmed they haven't received anything. my ex has been a compulsive lyer as long as i've known him and i don't get how he can make such a dramatic seen to make me try to beleive he paid.

Yay! Glad it will be coming out of his check now. My husband pays child support and it comes right out of his check as well. He was never behind when he paid it himself, but his ex wanted it that way, and in fact he had a $2700 credit balance when they figured it all out. It stinks that your ex would lie though, that would really irritate me too! Out here the state is pretty slow, they just got a new debit system so she gets the money right away, but before that she was getting it over a week after they took it from his checks. So slow!

That sounds about like my daughters dad. He used to lie to me all of the time also and tell everyone else that he pays his child support. that was a bold lie and I had proof that he didn't pay a dime because I have an account set up online and it shows me the money that was paid and when it was paid and when it was sent to me. He is now caught up and pays me every month on time, but I went through the same thing you are going through and it sucks. He sounds like he is a deadbeat dad just like my daughters dad is. He does not have anything to do with our daughter and she is now 15 years old. I fought him for child support for about 13 years before he started paying and got caught up on arrearage.

ya that really annoyes me when he tells everyone else he's a good dad and pays. when that's a lie. i've been going to this third party thing and it shows exactly when he paid how much he paid so i have it all in paper work i can prove that he hasn't paid and he tells his friends and family he's a perfect dad and he pays.

My daughters dad waited for about 6 years before he told any of his family he had a child. Then some of them wanted to meet my daughter but his mom didn't. They met her and we haven't seen them since then. I found outlater on that his dad was making a few payments for him to keep him from going to jail. Now that is sad that he relied on his family to make his child support payments. Totally worthless in my book.

I don't understand it either! IN CAnada can they take his Income Tax Refund if he is behind in Child Support? Here in the States they do that and last year they took over $3000 from me ex. I am sure he was pissed to find that out!! I don't know why men lie about that, like if they say it enough times it will be true, or we will believe them and the money will magically appear in front of you so you will stop asking! Silly men.

i know it doesn't make sense. how can they think they'll get away with that kind of lie. obviously you know if you've received it or not. then thy'll try it got lost in the mail or whatever else they can think of. oh well. i'm not sure if they would take their income tax here but i just found out where he works and gave that info to the third pary. they said by next month it will start to come out of his pay checks. the only thing then is i hope he doens't look for another job to avoid paying again.

I feel sorry for you poppoppop. If I were you, you should try to compose yourself immediately. You better bring that matter to your lawyer because that is merely a legal concern. Nothing will happen if you keep on approaching him and he will in return keeps on yelling on you about it. You will end arguing and harming and throwing nasty words to one another. Get an advise from your lawyer and you should be getting by now what you really deserve.

Well i like the idea of having it come straight out of the pay, so they cant go & spend it before they get around to paying you. I think that's how they do it here in Australia, don't quote me on it coz my partner is still here & supporting us :) but i am pretty sure that the amount they have to pay comes straight out of their pay cheque & if they are on unemployment, it comes to you from the government but it's still missing from the amoun they get - although, on unemployment, i don't think the mother's get a lot. I hope you manage to get every last cent he owes you coz it's rude to expect someone else to pay for something he helped to create. My partner & i were discussing this the other day actually & he told me that if we broke up, he'd be more than happy to pay for all the things his daughter needed, as long as she didn't go without. I think that's a pretty good thing to know should we ever break up (which of course i hope is never the case).

I was glad to hear that child support payments will now be taken from his check. I just hope he doesn't change jobs to avoid it, like my ex son-in-law has done numerous time over the past 2 years. My daughter has not received a cent from him in over 4 years now, and I'm so glad that she finally divorced him and got child support payments awarded. It just doesn't help if the ex works under the table to hide any income he has. Shame on him!
