Gwen, Job, thanks for your help - and Gwen, I really appreciate hearing about your similar circumstances.
Would you believe I have done the whole attorney thing. Spent tens of thousands and the settlement is all done and dusted - and STILL xh continues to ignore the orders.
He is SO tricky. He has steadfastly refused to reveal even one minute detail of his financial situation throughout all of this. He has no assets in his name and is self-employed. When the Judge ordered him to file his outstanding tax returns, he just pulled out of the whole court process.
ANYWAY, I continue to do what I can.
And would you believe - yesterday I got some great news!
Child support agency, who I was working with to re-assess the amount XH claims he earns, FOUND IN MY FAVOUR!!!!!
It means he is ordered to pay almost 3X the amount he currently does pay per month (the bare minimum) for support for S16. AND, he has to back-pay.
YAAAAAAAY
Of course, it's probably only a moral victory. He will argue that he can't pay... will object to the decision.... he simply won't pay.
But still, I feel so happy to be vindicated by some sort of outside observer.
So, while I suspect my feeling of joy will be short-lived, I am a very happy little person atm. If the extra money does, somehow, come through, it will make such a difference.
