Defending the Truth

First of all, he will be offered the choice to pay up all back due payments as bail; then to be turned over to Knot) to avoid going to prison. If he does; then Step 2 is a moot point. And that is that liens will be placed upon everything he owns individually or jointly- bank accounts, real estate, stock,and everything else of real value.
My sister went through the same mess when she got divorced over twenty years ago. Her ex decided that he wasn't going to pay a darn thing; even after the divorce ruling by the court. But he foolishly made the mistake of marrying again; to a woman whom owned a house worth some decent bucks in Georgia (Atlanta, if I'm not mistaken). His new wife was even dumb enough to put his name on the deed to the house!
Once he was tracked down (admitedly not the easiest thing to do) all of this turned up in an asset search. That's when the state (Illinois) lowered the boom on him. He was able to avoid jail because he and his new wife refinanced the home. My sister wasn't looking to take the home from the new wife; she just wanted the money.
And yes, Knot; as Ali stated, this money accrues interest until it is repaid. In Illinois this was 12% the last time I looked. And it is collectible for life. You can also attach any legal fees of yours to this judgment.
I'm glad that you're back, Knot. I was beginning to wonder what had happened to you. We missed you!

Both of my sisters' husbands left them. My younger sister's ex-husband is not paying anything. She does not care. The last time he was tracked down, he was in Oklahoma. And to make matters worse, my younger sis is on disability. She can't work for the rest of her life.

The other one is living outside of Washington, DC. He is not paying anything I guess. Yet my older sis is working.

Thanks, Joe.

This is something else I'm wondering....

He was ordered to cover the kids on his insurance. Since he decided to quit his job and disappear, I've been paying for their health coverage out of my paycheck, what amounts to over $200 a month.

I wonder if that's re-imbursable to me?

That could be grounds for a civil suit against her ex, OhDear. Just wondering if it is. Joe might know, though.

OMG, that reminds me...

He's also in trouble with the IRS because he claimed head of household on his taxes and took the boys as dependents while they were living 100% of the time with me and he wasn't paying any support.

LOL

Talk about your jumping from the frying pan into the fire....

And he is a bad liar, too.
