Today, I received my first payment of child support from my estranged husband: $50 and a note that said he wouldn't be paying any more. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after years of waiting, my mom and I finally received a check from Child Support Services. Excited, I opened it up to find a check from my dad, written out for 45 cents. Which pays for maybe half a loaf of bread. FML
Today, my ex-husband stopped paying his child support so when I phoned to threaten him with lawyers, he didn’t care. Apparently, he lost his job months ago and has been paying me out of his savings, but now he has absolutely nothing left I can take away from him. Now I feel bad. FML
Today, my newly ex-fiancé, the father of my 5-year-old child, moved out of state with no warning. I just spent my last $500 paying off his car, and the rent is due tomorrow. FML
Today, I was super excited to receive a large inheritance, maybe put it towards a house and a vacation. To my horror, the entire 40k went to my child support arrears. My psycho ex is the one who wanted those three kids, not me. FML
Today, my husband told me "The only reason I stay with you is because it's cheaper than paying child support." FML
Today, my husband got paid. I checked our bank account and was shocked to see we'd only received $300. I called him, insisting that there was some mistake. He said he'd started a new bank account in his name so he could manage our money on his own, and the $300 was my "allowance". I now want a divorce. FML
Today, I discovered my deadbeat ex-husband will not have to pay child support anymore, because while he sat on CERB the entire pandemic, I was an essential worker, and will be punished for having had an actual income. FML
Today, my ex showed up to pick up our kids in her brand new car. Last month child support doubled my amount because of a paperwork error. FML
Today, we got the bill from our lawyer. She'd recommended taking my common-law wife's ex-husband to court for child support, so we went to court and won. The judge awarded us over $8300! The bill came to $18,000. FML
Today, my husband was served child support paperwork by the couple he insisted on donating his sperm to. When I tried to warn him beforehand, he said I was being a jealous, paranoid, control freak and that it was his decision to help out some friends. We’re already struggling financially. Thanks babe.

A good way to respond to his note is to write him back and say, "I knew you weren't good for it anyway. No worries though. I'll get someone to help you man up to do what you're supposed to do." and if he starts to threaten he can't touch you. You can even go to the cops before he even touches you if there are threats from him. And I'm sure if he wants to kill you you can remind him of the cleaning up process to dispose of any evidence that would lead to him... And if there are those reports of threats then no extensive cleaning can keep him clear of that. :)

I hope you or your child becomes very very financially successful, and that pos hears about it, and tries to slither back into your life. And you tell him off.

Tell him have a nice time in jail, because that's where deadbeat dads wind up.

Apply for benefits. The state will damn sure go after him then.

Yep, nothing gets the government on a man's ass faster than an ex wife on welfare.
