[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our child support agreement was written in such a way that he didn't have to pay me until after I it equalled  $20k because I got the house, and didn't have the $20k he was demanding. He quit his well paying job just as he hit that threshold and now is skipping the country.

I just got word that my mother is dying and I have to figure out a way to get halfway across the country to her before she does. I don't have the time or energy to deal with this in the manner I should. But thank you all.[/quote]

[b]Quitting his job is not an excuse that a judge would look as an appropriate excuse to stop paying child support. [/b]

I'm sorry that your mother is not doing well. At the very least, email your ex and let him know that leaving the country and quitting his job are not valid reasons to stop any child support. Something like...

Dear Larlo:

You shared with me on June 16, 2018 that you were leaving the country. According to our signed agreement, child support payment in the amount of $____ is due on ______. Should you choose to withhold any payments, I will follow-up with a lawyer and the appropriate law enforcement which may jeopardize your return to the US.

Have a safe trip.

It’s a common tactic by some ‘men’ to quit their job during divorce proceedings so that they don’t have to pay more than the minimum child support. You can take them back to court after he gets another job but that costs money and he could quit his job again. [/quote]
