[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]THIS:  It's not fair for him to say he can't afford to pay so he's not paying. What if you can't afford to pay either?

As my lawyer said, he can afford to put gas in his car.  He can afford to pay for his cell phone.  He can afford the things that are a priority for him.  You are not a priority for him.  Unless you make yourself one.

Keep documenting how late he is with the payments.  Once he gets to be say, three months behind, file with the courts.  They don't  want to hear about two week delays.

If your ex gets put in jail for failure to pay support, he won't be able to run that business of his.  Watch how fast this threat changes his priorities.  [/quote]

This logic is not logical except to an attorney milking you for everything you have.  He needs to put gas in his car to get to/from work.  He needs a cell phone for emergencies/contact - even just a basic one.

Children do not need new computers or vacations.  That is a want vs. need.

Yes, he should be paying child support or at least what he can but demanding extra's when he cannot afford basics right now is unreasonable.

If you put him in jail for not paying child support, he may lose his job or future jobs given his new criminal record which impacts his ability to pay support.  [/quote]
