Filed for divorce in Feb...

...and he still hasn't paid child support.

When I kicked him out for being drunk almost 2 yrs ago - he quit his job - to start his own company. He was ordered to pay support based on the amount of money he USED to make. Well - he took me to court to say "My business went belly-up". Only his lawyer said it. He never showed up to court that day. He is living in our house with his new girlfriend. Actually - she is his highschool girlfriend.

I went over one night - her truck was parked in the driveway so I parked behind her and went in. The front door was locked by the storm door - so I went around to the back door, which was unlocked. They were in the bedroom. I walked in and she walked into my master bath - with the light off.

I took that opportunity to look thru her purse which was open on the floor while jr begged me to leave. As if I hadn't seen her yet! Duh!!!

So...I walked into the bathroom, flipped on the light and said "What are you doing in the dark...IN MY SHIRT?!!"

To be honest, her being in my shirt got a bigger reaction from me than her living there. Which of course she denied. She also denied having sex with him at all - this is while she crawled to the middle of my king sized bed and sat cross legged. UH - HELLO! You are sitting on MY bed as if you own it??? but I should believe you aren't sleeping with my STBFS?

Then - get this - while I was walking out, I was in the kitchen and I asked Dallas for the griddle and do you know what he said to me??? He told me he loved me and wanted me to come home.

Remarkable.

Anyway, Dallas was supposed to pay $600 a month child support and $1010 a month spousal support. (This is where "cheaper to keep her" came to be)
His lawyer - his HIGH PRICE lawyer went to court and said that Dallas had no income - and the magistrate lowered his payment to ZERO spousal support and only $150 a month for 3 kids. That doesn't even feed 3 kids in a month.

My FIL IS Suing Me - I got the paperwork

Ok...a few weeks back my FIL decided he needed to get here and get all of his sons 'assets' he could so he called wanting "HIS" woodchipper and lawnmower. Well, these 2 items have been in my garage for a LLLLOOONNNNGGGG time. The lawnmower -since we moved in and the woodchipper for at least 2 yrs. So I have serious doubts that they are his - and there is a restraining order on Dallas to not remove anything from the house. So, I had to refuse.

Flashback to when Dallas and I were dating - a girl came forward claiming her child was his - looked about right - right down to the cleft in her chin. And my FIL and Dallas started the process of moving his assets around...when the paperwork came back that she wasn't his.

Flashback again to when my FIL was sued for sleeping with a subordinate

he told me - while denying the truth of the case - that THAT is why his house and all his assets were in his wife's name - so that he couldn't lose any of it...

Ok - back to the present. The paperwork says that things in my garage (that have been growing mold) are HIS. The woodchipper, both lawnmowers, various (read-ALL) powertools and hand tools, and refridgerator are all his. And that since I denied him of his possessions his business has lost money. He owns rental properties!!!! He owns lawnmowers to mow them!!! The trees on the properties I can count on 1 hand - and are too small to need a chipper!!! The refridgerator in the garage was bought when we lived in Kettering - and they didn't want to move upstairs (plus my soon to be former spouse) wanted a place to keep beer cold in the garage. AND as I said - it is growing mold!!! My STBFS unplugged it during one of those times he was trying to convince me he was going sober...but left something in the freezer. You open it - it smells of death or at least something that would kill you.

So - he came up with $6200. He wants the return of all these things (which aren't his) AND the money.

Talk about vindictive...
