25, your story saddens me every time I hear it. What a douche. Something that might make you feel better, though, is that a friend of my W's had a similar situation... he started a business but it was in OW's name, and he "had no income". Paid no alimony or child support for almost 15 years. My friend pursued him relentlessly, through three countries, numerous PI's, finding accounts in the Caymans, records showing his employment, etc. After her daughter graduated from college, she was able to prove he was a deadbeat dad and failed to comply with numerous court orders even though he was financially able. He wound up paying her about $1.5M and served a few months in jail for contempt.

What are you doing to pay the bills in the meantime? I assume you are polishing the law degree and starting to work as a lawyer again. I hope so. I've found that I need to "think less and do more", and going back to work will probably be a good distraction, as well as a good way to meet people in your new city.

And Hoosjim, I feel for you. All my hopes and dreams for the future... gone in a puff of smoke.... I think we all pretty much feel that way.
