[RT]

That maybe true Rick, but the way I look at it, you have to pick your battles.  Some are worth fighting for, others aren't.  I consider myself lucky.....I have three good kids, though my son had me worried for a while there. 

Trying to raise them and stay on top of things, working, dealing with our lovely (there goes my sarcasm again) justice system and some personal health issues, it's not worth going after that.  I have had many people over the years, tell me that I need to go after their father for support.  First, you can't get something from someone that has nothing......and second, it would be one more headache that I can do without.

I agree. wholeheartedly. I just thought it funny that she started receiving these payments at all. She never asked for them but I think the computers catch up with us and they will find out who owes. She went to the mailbox one day and voila, there was a check. Anyway, I posted because I hink is is so funny.

I agree with you Rick, that is funny.  It would be mail that I would love to find in my mailbox too someday.  I had misunderstood and thought she had asked for them, my apologies.  The way your mom got them is like "found money"  something all of us would love to find.

This will make you laugh .in 1991 my husband wnt to prison. i was forced to go on public aid .i had 3 minor children at that time. i informed child support where is was .i was only on aid while he was in 4 1/2 years. no court date was issued. in 2006 he finally got served to appear in court for child support. all are kids are adults and have been since 2001.they have him owing $70,000 in arrears .trying to convince the family judge that there are no minor children was a joke .he wanted to hear nothing . i tried to tell the judge how old this case was and after 6 months of fighting it and 3 weeks my husband was in custody for comptemt, he finally realized it and order him to pay $10.00 a week for the arrears.what a mess.

I'm new here, does anybody know about getting a Modification in WI. My guy is currently at Big Muddy, but his child support order is in WI. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
