Update: my attorney (not really representing my but doing so on an as needed basis) sent him an email and cc'd me on it after a tearful call to her (on my part) about all of this Thursday...
The language was basically this:
- here is what you owe (calculated all the arrears)
- here is the monthly USO amount
- here are images of what you have paid
And she gave him 2 options:
- give me a check for a substantial portion of it (minimum 4,000) this weekend when he meets me for his parenting time
- have his wages garnished as of Monday morning (she attached the wage assignment letter she was sending his employer notifying them he is a deadbeat).
Guess who showed up today at the police station to meet me WITH a check for $4,000?
I guess calling him out on his BS and not being afraid of his threats is the way to go.
I would NOT have had the courage to ask my lawyer to do this without your support.
So, the money is secondary in my mind to the message that he has been sent that he can not screw with me and continue to get away with it!
