The Order is the Order, you could file for contempt for child support on one missed payment. They don't care 1 or 30.

Why you haven't IF asked - well just say the truth. He has made your life a living f'ing hell, abusive, and harassing. He has threatened you. You hoped he would leave you alone, you fear his retaliation. Let the Court KNOW why.

My good friend has dealt with a sicko psycho path like this, her child's father. He is a member of world known family with lots of money. Your stories are very similar, and yes he has tortured her with high priced attorneys. But, when he stopped paying child support and then claimed bankrupt the Court didn't toy with his antics AT ALL, or his a$$hole atty. She too had tried to control and manage the situation by not reporting arrears, by not reporting contempt, and his failure to follow the parenting plan. She was sick of court, sick of him, and scared of him. Due to her own financial burden her choice was to file, or go in foreclosure. She was awarded all money owed. She also was able to get a PO. He broke the PO, and she reported - he was jailed. He no longer messes with her AT ALL. She put up with that crap for 8 years.....it only took her following up on what she was told to do instead of fearing that he was somehow, more powerful than the Courts are.
