Oh Happy Day!!

I would have to say that the days where I make my ex husband mad are good days, because I always come out in the end feeling better!! I am not sure why, but I do...

Take this weekend for instance, I was paying bills and realizing that money was going to be tight. Having a 12 1/2 year old who likes to have food, games, food, clothes, house, gas for vehilce, food.. did I mention food?? I hope that he is on the edge of a growth spurt, because it is hard to keep his belly full. Anyway, yes money belt is tight. So I put a status on facebook about how I was feeling. Granted I have said things before about child support not coming in, and if you ask around I am really leinent with my ex.

But this time he was not happy, not happy at all that I was telling his business on facebook. According to him he is paid up,, hhmmm.. how can that be?? He is supposed to pay monthly 18% of his wages no less than $100.. yeah!! he got off really easy on this one!! $100 per month!!! I have not received "monthly" payments since March 2009, so 13 months ago.

In Ocotber 2009 he filed his taxes for 2008 (by the way he owns his own business), he tells me that IRS sent him a letter and that $xxx amount of dollars is going to be coming to support Kenny... Ok, so we have been through this before, it takes 6 months!! If you ask the IRS they release it at the same time as the rest of his taxes were paid to him.. he got his tax refund in December 2009. It has been a few years and I cannot remember if it is 6 months from the time of filed or the time of his refund.. but I am thinking that it is the later, because April has come and gone and no taxes/child support. So it might come in June.. not holding me breath!! Stopped expecting child support long, long, long, time ago....

Oh and then he filed his 2009 taxes in (I think) February 2010, so six months will be??? August.. I am not sure when he recieved his part of refund so who knows how long this one will take.

But see this is how he gets away with telling me he has made two payments!! TWO?? In thirteen months??? 2!! Monthly it should be 13!! but he made 2!! And he says that he called and "they" told him he is all paid up.. hhmmm... He filed taxes in Ocotber 09 and Feb 10.. this in now May 2010,, so lets not count May as it just started,, so March and April.. right there is two months, so how can he be all paid up???? It does not sound right!

Oh, I also told him that having your taxes garnished and actually paying support on a monthly consistent basis are two different things.

Oh to go back to when this happened before, the IRS says they had sent the money, the Child Support division says that they have not recieved any. We (yep him and me) spent weeks on the phone before and even was told by the Child Support office ladies to stop calling.. hhmm..

So anyway, there is my rant for the day/weekend... Thanks for listening.. =) Oh Happy Day!!!

Oh and now to end with a picture we took uptown today....
