Well, I was going to post to the old deadbeat mom thread, but it was quite long, so starting a new one.
My SD's BM was finally ordered to pay support beginning in April. This was after three court hearings where she tried to delay it and finally, she failed to show up and the court gave HER the benefit of doubt, used the income she had 'declared' but with no proof. It came out to less than minimum wage so her order was $216 a month.
Well, She hasn't paid a penny. DH gave all the case over to DCSS to collect. They opened the case and DH sent an email to them via their website to ask the status. Well, yesterday, DH got a call from DCSS. They told him that they had called BM and she told them she was going to get some money to make a payment. Then, he goes online and looks at the email he sent and their response is quite different. This is what the notes say:
"SPOKE W/ NP AND HAS NO INCOME. DOES NOT WANT TO WORK BECAUSE FIANCEE HAS $ AND SHE GETS TO BE A STAY AT HOME MOM. TOLD HER THAT ISN'T HOW IT WORKS. SHE WILL SUBMIT HER PAPERWORK TO SEE IF WE CAN LOWER C/S."
Unfreakin' believable!!! She hasn't paid a red cent and she wants to lower it (it's already using less than minimum wage) and thinks she is a 'stay at home mom'???? Don't you have to have a child living with you to be a stay at home mom????? All I can do is laugh and shake my head. We definitely are NOT surprised and we know better than to count on receiving anything. I just can't believe the nerve of some people. (meanwhile, DH and I have been working all summer and I'm the one that ends up buying her school clothes and supplies. DH told BM to please send her back in something she can wear to school on Friday, and of course she had nothing appropriate. She sent her back in a short denim mini skirt with holes and frayed edges... against the school dress code, not to mention it doesn't fit her)
I hope she submits her paperwork and they recalculate it using minimum wage or more. She's certified to work as an EMT and has no kids living with her. It would be funny to see it go UP!!! JEEEZ.
When DH mentioned SD's weight last weekend, she told him "I don't know why she's gaining weight, we go to the pool everyday." Must be nice!!!
