Child Support Issues

Okay well Dave is behind almost $900 in child support for Carter… and the amount grows each week as he is not paying me anything at all. Once it hits $1000 they said they can suspend his driver’s license. I hate for that to have to happen as I know he wants to get into over the road truck driving. But, I need help supporting OUR son. Daycare is $70 a week and if the is out of school for a day then I have to add an additional $15 a day. School lunches are $10 a week. I just signed up for my insurance benefits here at work and the price increased a bunch. Then you add on top of that the sports he is in and food, and clothing… The $85 a week that I am supposed to get doesn’t cover ½ of everything.

So I called the Child Support Enforcement Division. I told them that he is now living in Jacksonville, not sure where. I told them that he is working part time as a fry cook at McDonalds. Oh and that is another thing that ticks me off a bit. He can get a decent job and make good money. Yet, he has chosen to work part time at McDonalds as a fry cook. I am sure that he doesn’t make enough to cover child support for his three child support cases he has got. So I hope and pray that he doesn’t file a petition to get it lowered.

He called me today and told me that he is going to go to Spfld, Mo and try the truck driving school there again. He went there in the beginning of Oct and quit after two days. I told him I couldn’t believe they were even going to let him come back. I asked him why since he told me he hated it there… He said he hates it where he is now even more.

Christmas is going to be really small this year all around.

My father and brother can’t get any of the houses they built to sell so their business is going under. If they end up not selling and going to foreclosure they will also take my parents house as it is collateral for one of the spec houses they built.

The stress of money and things is just really getting to me right now…
