Ignorance, yes just ignorance.

My ex still hasn't paid me back a buncha money he owes. When we split up according to the divorce papers he was obligated to pay the credit card bill, he also was supposed to have my name removed from it or cancel the card. He did not do that, in fact he maxed it out and let it go into default. After 4 months of nonpayment they drew the amount due from my account which if not for my mom could have caused me to lose the house, where his kids live. Anyway he gave me a payment on it that first week but the next pay period I let it slide because I knew he was behind. The next one I gave him a reprieve as well because he was trying to move to another place. So here we are a month and a half since he has paid at all and I ask him for some small payment even just $25 or 50 and he tells me he won't pay it, for me to take it out of the child support. I spoke to an attorney and basically he can be held in contempt of court for violating the divorce agreement and I can sue him for the full amount and have him garnisheed but I hate to have to do that. If it were just about the money I wouldn't have let him slide so long or asked for such a small payment. I just want some sign that he isn't trying to screw me because really I owe my mother back for what she lent me to cover it. He was a complete ass about it and even at one point said so what are you going to tell the kids their dad is a junkie? To be clear, I have not mentioned his drug use to the kids EVER and I haven't spoken to him about it in months either. There just isn't any point. I guess his own guilty conscience took over. What a waste of a life. He also told me I need to get a job so that he won't have to pay so much in child support. What kinda ignorance is that? Ummm child support is based on YOUR income not mine. Smart real smart. Half the time I think his response to what I say is geared toward getting a response out of his ignorant whore. What he says to me doesn't even reflect anything I've said whatsoever. If it's the only thing they can share is a genuine hatred of me, oh well, I pity them. Well I just needed to get this out in my little safe spot.
