ferrals...thanks........i have been searching and searching and cant find anything on the net or on child support.....about the rules of what the ex can claim out of his injury payout.................the ex has gone for a change of assessment...and for what ever reason when hubby recieved his payout last yr she couldnt get any of it.......now she might and i just cant understand the rules.....she had two kids and we had two kids at the time of his payout...she was arrested for child abuse so got none of his money. now she has made the kids come back home for the last two months and we think only for the money..but sd is at a friends....so she has three under her care...we have a phone confrence with csa in a couple weeks..and have disputed all her claims in the assessment...seriously she deserves nothing as she doesnt provide for the kids....i just wanted to know what she is enititled too if anything and how it all works.....were worried she'll get our investment....does it go by what we got...or what we have left....its all so confusing...we know they have to get a court order to get the money out our joint account.....is that how far they will go.....she owes us money and we never got it so how does it all work
