Well I've got diddly squat from him all these years, apart from one year that he worked in his wifes fathers business (and the father arranged for his wage to be garnished I hear on the grapevine).

I've had to look for him now as she would like to meet said a-hole, I plan on it being all about her, not bringing past issues up.

I've asked for nothing in all this time, but she needs $6000 of dental surgery and orthodontic work over the next 2 years and trust me - he is going to help pay for it. In tracking him down I have learnt he has a business. I was wondering if he would start to actually declare it if he thought he didn't have to pay anymore .
