AWESOME!!!!!!

Yesterday, I went to court, I didnt have time before this to post about it. But it went very well, in my favor. I was taking Coty's father back to court to finally get him to start paying me child support. I had an existing order already in place since 1996, when I had filled for Divorce from him. He was ordered to pay $222 a month, support for Coty. He was also supposed to have him on the weekends. Well as soon as court was over he quit his job & started working under the table. So you can imagine just how much he owes me in back support. Not to mention he stopped trying to visit with Coty.

So as soon as I heard he was hired on to a job in November of last year, I filled to get it increased. AS soon as he heard he was being taken back to court, he decided it was time to quit & start working under the table again, in hopes of the court would drop his support. Well it didnt happen the way he wanted it too, ;).

The Judge saw that he was very delinquent on his support & raised it to $429 a month & ordered him to find work & come back in January. If he still hadnt found work by then, he was to show he had put in at least 10 applications every two weeks. LOL!! Its about time he became a man & helped me support our son. Also, he was showing to have a settlement in the works & it was all order to pay back all his past support. :)

He tried to say I was doing welfare fraud, lol, the lady laughed & said she is not on aid. He also try to say I was still living with my Ex. When in fact I am not!! The lady again lend over & said it doesnt matter, because if she was in fact married they still dont count her husbands earnings, only mine. Then he tried to say he has Coty 50% of the time, lol. Again, I showed proof that he hasnt even come to see him in months. So he was pissed by the time court was over, he didnt even say good bye to Coty or me, lol. I was nice enough to say he had him 18% of the time when infact he doesnt. So Oh well, justice was served yesterday. WOOOOWHOOOO!! Its about time!!

Also, I m waiting on getting batteries for my camera, so I can take some pictures of my new DO.
I should have them up no later then next month. Thanks for being patient!!

Take care everyone & I hope all is well!! Love always, MM XOXO

WTF? It takes you a month to do your hair?

Good for you and the court thing. Far too many "men" take their parental responsibilities too lightly. Good luck and you could take the batteries out of your "personal massager" to power up the camer for one picture...

I hope that you do not have any more legal problems with your ex. That is a lot of crap to have to go through.

I hate dead-beats....lies lies lies I bet it's even hard to let your son go with him for visits knowing he such a liar....not fit to be a parent....if you can't trust them to tell the truth how can you trust them with your child for a visit.

MM-I am glad things are working out for you with the child support thing. It really makes me mad when deadbeat parents (moms and dads both) don't give a crap about their kids. That is just plain old WRONG!!!

Please take care of you. XOXO

Well, this is a real bummer for him and I guess he has to work two jobs.

That really sucks. But I don't see another way to afford $429 per month on top of all the other $h!T.

MM, Did you know that the OC Register posts deadbeat dads names in their paper? I don't know if they only post Orange County deadbeats or the whole states. You should check them and your local papers as well. Maybe he needs to be embarassed to grow up.

I deleted all my posts on your Wednesday, June 28, 2006 post. Joe's and Rhesus Pieces did the same to protect themselves from a blog terrorist.

Laud Man (me) picked the photo just below that June post I mentioned, to post when I get back from Az. Is that one cool w/you? I like that one.

Thanx for letting me post a pic.

BTW, What happened to somethin somethin 4s blog? it disappeared. Ha!

Scott,
ME TOOO!! Its nice to finally have some finacial help from him. It would even be better if he started being a better father too. But one thing at a time, baby steps. XOXO

Jlee,
Yeah, it really upsets me too. If I had only one wish it would be to of had Coty with a better man. Not that I wish I didnt have Coty, because honestly thats the best that has ever come from this guy. I just wish Coty had a better father all around. But its my fault not Coty's or his dads, I just used to have a bad judge of character. Thanks sweetheart!! XOXO

Squid,
Hahahahaha!! No, it only takes two days!! J/K!! No, really it only takes me 3-5 mins to do my hair. I just have to have a special battery for my camera, & Its not cheap either. Plus, I m still waiting for it to tone down a little more as well. (SSshhh, dont tell) Its still alittle dark for my liking. I m just so used to it being blonder then it is now. UGH!! Oh BTW: Happy Anniversary!!Your wife is really HOT & SEXY!! She's a keeper ;)!! XOXO

OBTH,
I still have to go back to court again in January, & hopefully he will have a job. Then the Child Support will go up again. NICE!! Dont get me wrong, I ve never been money hungry or even wanted money from him to begin with. I even told him in the begining I dont care if he pays child support or not as long as he helps me support him. By buying him things he needs. Well he never did help, so thats when I took him to court in the first place. Then he wouldnt even pay what he was ordered to pay, so thats when I stuck it to him. He was only asked to pay me $55.00 a week, & he couldnt even do that. So he screwed himself as far as I m concerned. Thanks for the comment sweetheart & do take care. XOXO

Storm,
Thanks sweetheart!! Yeah, I know exactly how you feel, thats why I left him in the first place. I was with him because at first I thought he was a nice guy, well he turned out to be a DICK. The sad thing about all this is the one who suffers is Coty. But hopefully Coty will grow up to be better & stronger then his father. Take care sweetie & thank you! XOXO

Paris,
Yes, it is really hard to let him take him. Only when he feels like taking him that is. When he does have him, he spends more time with his friends then he does with his own son. Its truly sad, & theres not much I can do about it either. Ive already taken him to court several times, because of his lack of caring for Coty. Everytime they allow him to visit with him no matter what, because they dont see him as being abusive towards Coty. So even if he shows up 20 hours late, I still have to allow him to take him or I go to jail. It really hurts Coty & most of the time Coty doesnt even want to go with him. But, until the courts make it stop, it will only continue. I do plan on taking him back to court again soon over this & I can only pray they will hear Coty's pleas this time. Thank you & do take care sweetheart. XOXO

Marie,
I agree!! It sucks because the ones who get hurt are the kids. If they didnt want to care for their kids, then they shouldnt have even had them in the first place. Some people dont know how to even care for themselves let alone a child. Take care sweetheart!! XOXO

Mushroom,
Yes, I agree he is a BUM, also a DICK!! How have you been sweetheart? I do hope all is well with you. Take care!! XOXOX

Alan,
Your right, its a very rare occaision. Now if I could only get them to listen when I go to court about his visitation. Maybe next time they will!! Ill keep ya posted about that. Take care sweetie!! XOXOX

Zen wizard,
I didnt want it to come to this, but he left me no choice. When I left him, I only asked that he help me get things that Coty needed for school & other activities. But, he wouldnt even do that. I never asked for any Child Support, until a year later, only because he wouldnt help. AS a matter of fact, he claimed Coty on his taxes twice (Coty didnt even see him for those two years) & bought himself a boat. Coty didnt see anything, not even for his B-day or Christmas. So I had to do what I had to do. I know it seems harsh, but I did give him 13 years to help Coty out, & he never did. PLus, I wouldnt worry to much about him as far as having to work two jobs, because hes live with his mother for years & has no bills to pay. He puts money into his cars, clothes, girlfriends, & his hobbies. He walked into court sporting a new outfit & new shoes, All the while Coty needs clothes & shoes. Take care sweetie!! XOXO

Jimbo,
Yes of course its ok with me!! Thanks for letting me know about the deadbeat dads, thats something I will have to look into. Ill let you know what I find, or rather if I find him, lol. I think thats pretty cool to embarase them. LOL!!
AS far as the somethin somethin 4 I dont have a clue. I m just happy its all over. Take care sweetheart & have an awesome trip. XOXO

Love always, MM XOXOXOXOXOX

Hey MM: I'm glad that court went well for you yesterday and not so for him. Hopefully he'll start giving you the support you need.

I myself have to start paying child support in February, so I am working towards being able to do that. It will be hard but I know it's something that I've got to do, so I'll find a way to do it.

Can't wait to see the new hair-do, whenever you post the pics.

Take care.

Well, I clearly didn't have all the details.

Every man should have one toy, but a boat is extravagant, when you are not taking care of your own flesh and blood.

I guess I was just thinking how rough mere survival was for me when I lived in California...with an approx. $425 monkey on my back--I shudder to think.

Then again, if you can't take care of a baby, you shouldn't be making them...what's really weird here in Atlanta is that--without giving away too many private details--I have had several females working for me that have had to pay CS and almost went to jail.

Clearly, there is a crisis in the breakdown of the family unit in the USA, with the divorce rate at 52% and all...people think real life is supposed to be like Joey on Friends, where you live in a nice apartment two blocks from Central Park; never working and just boinkin' babes all the time. I guess we all need a reality check and maybe more healthy expectations.

Anyway, good luck with this and I hope this guy "gets religion" and gets his life together.

Sadly, winning in court doesn't mean that you are going to be getting any money in the future. Deadbeats are just that, deadbeats.

I was hard for me to pay child support at times, but I managed. Then my daughter came to live with me so it didn't matter.

Funny thing about that, her mother wasn't about to pay child support. What ever.

Hugs... XOXO

Mystical, I'm glad you got an increase in child support. Deadbeat dads give guys a bad name!

Hope you get the camera batteries soon. ;)
