It's a good day in the neighborhood, a wonderful day in the neighborhood.
I went and got my mail from my ghetto-fied mail box, and low and behold, a child support check for $44.
It's been a whole month since the last whopping check of $22.10.
He's trying sooo hard to pay for all 6 of his kids. I gotta give him a little credit.
I mean, he's going balls to the wall these days to support himself and all 6 of his kids. Have I told you all how hard he's working?
I didn't?
Shame on me!
He's opened his own business! Isn't that just awesome?!
Check this out.
Click it for bigger.
I think I'm gonna make it my wallpaper.
That's his very own tattoo shop!
Incredible!
He's a business owner finally!
He's been working there for years now, it was only a matter of time before he bought the joint.
This means he's gonna be able to finally start paying more than $22.10 whenever he feels like it right?
I mean, it's his own business, he somehow managed to get a business loan with his bad credit, debt and arrears for child support for 6 kids, and he got a loan? And what about all the licenses and health requirements and all that jazz, to actually run a tat shop. He must be doing supertastic financially right?!
OMGDZ! This is just super exciting!
As soon as I heard the news, I put in a call to child support, to get our amount of cs modified.
He's a business owner now. He can finally afford to make proper payments to all 6 of his kids and pay off the arrears to Mark and Sebastian.
This is awesome, it's like Christmas!
If you can't tell this post is dripping with sarcasm, it is.
He has no intention of paying his arrears to his kids. Hell, he probably has no idea that I know about him owning this business, but I do, and I really did make that call.
I have friends who still live there, they see him every single day, they eat lunch across the street from this new business, they saw the signs, took pics, and emailed them to me as well as called me.
They are just as stunned as I am that he was able to start a business with him owing so much money to all of his kids.
I don't understand how he was able to get a business loan with the way his credit and debts are to his children.
I am 99.9% positive that the state of Maine passed a law years ago, stating that dead beat dads who owed more than $100,000 in arrears, would never be able to get a business loan.
But here he is, with his own business.
This is not hear say nor rumors, this is a fact. He owns that business.
So go ahead and try to sue me for slander and liable. I triple dog dare ya.

Can anyone say Sugar Mama? I bet that is how he got the money to start his own business.

What a piece of shit this guy is. He also went and made other kids with other women after he and Kat broke up. That is skeevy. Mike's father abandoned his family, and married some other woman and had more kids with her. Didn't pay jack shit in child support, either. So I feel Kat's pain here.
What a bastard! Kat, I agree with others here...take his sorry ass back to court to try to get more money. I can't believe they let him have a business, when he already owes so much.

You know there is a myspace for this, right?
Posted by: Amy | April 26, 2007 10:38 PM
Of course I know. Not only did my informants tell me about the shop, they sent me links to the myspace.
Is this not fucking unreal?
6 kids, owes literally over $100,000 in back child support, yet he somehow has the money to open his own business?
You have no idea how this makes me feel.
I have left him alone, we don't call and ask for any money for shoes, clothes, dentists, doctors, nothing. We leave him totally alone, the very least he could do to not actually have to be around and BE a father, is pay his fucking child support.
We don't expect christmas or birthday cards and presents, we don't make him call, nothing, we ask nothing of him for 14 solid years we have not asked him for a damn thing, and this is what he does with his money instead of take care of his kids?!
You really, none of you, really understand what this does to me inside, how it makes me feel.
According to him, I'm the big bad guy, I ruined our marriage, not him, he didn't cheat with every woman who would spread her legs, no, no way! /sarcasm.
He fathered children with almost every woman he slept with. The oldest, was conceived 2 weeks before our wedding, and I never learned about that child till 3 and a half years ago!
Are there more we don't know about? How many half siblings do my sons have?!
He says I ruined his relationship with our sons. No I didn't. Telling our sons his band was more important did. Not being around did. Not even calling them on their birthdays did. Dumping them off on his girlfriend of the week when he had visitation so he could play with his band did.
He ruined it.
And now this? His own business instead of taking care of all these children?
Fuck him.
Fuck him.
I made the call to cs. I asked for a modification. I will not settle for anything less than $200 per week from now on, enforced. If he doesn't pay, he can go to fucking jail.
14 years of me struggling to take care of OUR sons, getting that pissy little amount when he did send support, working 12-16 hour days to make ends meet and still struggling. All of that shit I did caused my back to degrade at a much faster rate, but I did it because I love my children!
He can fucking rot in financial hell for the rest of his life for all I fucking care. I've had enough of this shit and I'm not going to let him get away with any fucking more!
Sorry I ranted in my reply to you, I'm just very very angry. I apologize, but I started typing and it just came out. I hope you understand.

I completely understand what you are feeling, Kat. I just got a whopping $40 child support check 2 weeks ago from my ex-husband (who hasn't seen my son since he was 9 months old and hasn't paid child support in over a year). He doesn't own his own business, however. As far as I know, anyway.

Wow. Thank you thank you thank you for your post. It helps me feel a little more appreciative that my ex is at least paying his support for now. I hope it lasts. We live on it right now. Of course, he did get a new job and refuses to tell me how much he is making now.
