They've contacted ex, his financial institution AND his dodgy employer & they basically have decided they have no way of getting money out of him.
He's ignoring them & not putting in tax returns, his boss is ignoring them, & he owes the bank $17000 for a car & gets paid by cheque/cash. So nothing is going IN the bank.
It WILL catch up with him. It took 8years for CS to get a cent out of my ex after he didn't lodge a tax thing for 7years. CS even called me to tell me he wont pay so why don't I just drop it. They called another time to say he is voluntarily going to give me $50 a month and suggested I take the $50 monthly as its better then nothing and to drop the arrears (his assessment at the time was around $500 a month) He wont get away with it even if it takes 20years to get a cent. If he dies its still a debt so you would then be entitled to super etc. Just hang in there and one day you will get what your entitled to to support your children xx
That really sucks Clover, I hate hearing these kinds of things where fathers won't step up and provide for their children, really makes me angry! Keep fighting, hopefully one day it will pay off.
With my situation I called a few times initially and then basically forgot about it. All the time the arrears where going up and up and up so by the time I started getting some payment the amount was considerable high (close to the $20,000)
I've been trying to decide if I should just forget about it & take the credit for doing it all myself, but I think it'd be different if I only had one. I think if I only had the one child life would be completely different. It wouldn't really be a huge amount I'd be missing out on & I'd have more options with being able to work full time etc.
But when there's 4 of them its just so hard to get by week to week without it. I'm doing it, but I've had enough. He's screwed us over in every way possible. His kids are his last control over me & he's loving that I'm not getting anything out of him. He wins that way. That's kind of why I don't want to give up. I refuse to let him win in any way. And its not all about CSA. They've all had birthdays & a Christmas & he hasn't bothered with any of it. He's even promised DD1 $100 for her birthday... that was 6 weeks ago. I don't care if you don't follow through, but don't promise her!
I'm really ticked off that his boss could be such a tosser. He's helping him deny my kids. So is the girlfriend who's happily playing innocent in all this. His own mother told me to take him to court, but I'm not so sure that's a good idea.
Not sure what the dodgy employer is doing but in regards to non lodgement of tax returns, I reported my ex to the ATO as he hadn't done one since 2002-2003 financial year. Non lodgement is considered a form of tax evasion. Anyway, last year he was made to do his tax returns and I got paid a large majority of the money he had been owing me.
I did the reporting online and gave the ATO all the information I had in regards to him.
Not sure if it is an avenue you're wanting to go down but it's worth a try if like me, you'd tried everything else. Good luck
The dodgy employer is just ignoring csa's attempts to work something out. They sent out paperwork to him back in February. He never responded. I know they have the right info for him.
Might look at the ato website later. Its been 3 years & I know he won't now, coz he knows I'll get it.
