Does he have to reimburse me for the 13 years he did not pay the correct and full amount...he always paid me $200 less every month. I let this go on, like a fool, I know,but now I could use that money. Would the courts tell him to reimburse me retroactively plus cost of living increases? Please, I do not want any silly answers....I would like someone with knowledge or legal experience to answer. Getting through to the family court here is difficult and I do wish to file a complaint..plus there are other matter such as emotional neglect and threats made to one of his children, to take the car away he gave my daughter for going to college with. He says if she does not call him at a specific time every Saturday, he will take the car away and he says he will take the car in December because he has to buy furniture for his new house.The man makes $60,000 a year and his girlfriend makes over 85,000! He wants to save on the insurance,the car is paid in full, too. There is more, too. HELP!!!

You don't need to retain an attorney. Take the matter to the Child Support Division in your state. Here, if you are over $1,000 behind, it is considered a felony.

First stop focusing on how much the gf makes.. thats none of your concern not even if they get married.. so drop that part..
Yes he is liable for reimbursing u.. plus Interest.. your going to have to go back into court and make him prove what he's paid to u over the last 13 years.. and when he cant prove the correct amount they will hold him in contempt.. if i were u, once u have the judgement, id make him pay through child support services that way if he doesnt pay the full amount they will go after him for it..
Let me tell u a little bit of info..
My mother in law.. raised 5 kids on her own with out a dime of help in child support.. 3 of the kids were from her previous husband.. (the older 2's father passed away) .. her x husband never paid a dime of child support for his kids.. the judge ordered him to pay 300.00 a month.. (back in the 80's) her younger 3 kids by him are now 39, 38, and 35.... this past July she went to court seeking a judgement for him to have to repay her the 30,000.00 he never paid while the children were young.. and the judge gave her a judgement for 250,000 .00 for interest owed .. and she is now going to get the money he owed her all those years ago.. and they are going to put a lien on the house that he OWNS.. that he cant sell with out paying her, and if he dies before his debt is paid she will get her money from the sell of the house .. so now at age 65 he's got to pay her a LOT more money then if he had just paid it when it was do years before.. (State of Florida)
As far as the car that will be totally up to a judge and could go either way..

Yes... what you have is called "arrears". Whatever your ex owes you can be ordered for payment from a judge after reviewing all the factors. But the fact you allowed your ex to continually pay less over the years may have a negative impact on your case, because you never alerted the court or any social service of the situation.
If you are in the same state that you originally filed, I would ask for an adjustment in the child support. The only time frame that the court would go back to adjust is when you filed your claim in the courthouse. At that time, your attorney could also introduce that over the years, your ex failed to pay the full amount stipulated by the court.
Contact an attorney, look for ones that offer free consultation and will accept payments for their fees.

You need to go back to court. Do not bring up issues about how bad of a dad he is for giving and taking the car all the time. The judge will only want to hear about the children. Your child is in college, you have the right to take him for more child support. You need to state your case for your children. Do not bring up bills, or anything else that has to do with the household. You will get the child support increased. Also, make note every month of just how much he is paying you and how much he is supposed to pay. This will help alot in court. The judges do not like dead beat dads. Good luck.

First get rational
If the car is in his name he can take away from her as he pleases - I am not sure this is a "threat" - so calm down and take a step back
The answer is - yes - if he underpaid you, he owes you the money - and you should get an attorney and go back to court - If he paid you in cash be prepared for a battle
I am not sure why you did not have the amounts garnished from his pay - many states require this now - is he self employed? If so - good luck you will need it - most states will also withhold renewal of drivers licenses and professional licenses for nonpayment- this would be good for you if he is in a position to have these or care
I am not sure why you let this go on for 13 years - be prepared to explain that when you go to court

note for employ assistance and nutrients stamps make certain you tell them that the only reason you want the help is the non-charge of kid help. it truly is what my daughter did. She promptly were given a case report and a courtroom order changed into issued diverting all her ex-husbands State and Federal income Tax returns to her till he changed into stuck up. The choose then ordered him to make all funds to the courtroom and the courtroom would pay my daughter. So many years later my daughter is getting all her funds on time and contained in the completed quantity, the ex husband isn't satisfied, yet who cares, and two times the courts have initiated courtroom situations to boost the quantity of help because the toddlers become older and he receives pay will boost. from time to time the gadget does paintings.

His girlfriends pay does not play a role in what he owes you. Since you have a divorce decree that is court ordered, he can be held in contempt of court. Speak with the county clerk where your divorce was final and see what you need to do to get the ball rolling.

FIRST, YOU HAVE TO PROVE YOUR EX'S INCOME,HEAR SAY DOESNT WORK,SECOND, YOU CAN NOT TOUCH GIRLFRIENDS INCOME,THIRD, IT SEEMS BY THE TONE OF YOUR QUESTIONS,YOU MAY HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHERS IN PERSON AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THINGS YOU DID NOT WANNA HEAR,SO YOU CHOSE TO ASK
ON-LINE.
I HAVE LOTS OF EXPERIENCE WITH CIVIL SUITS INVOLVING FAMILIES.
YES HE IS RESPONSIBLE,YES HE IS LIABLE FOR ARREARAGES,BUT DONT COUNT ON GETTING THE ENTIRE AMOUNT,AND PUTTING HIM IN JAIL,WONT DO YOU ANY GOOD CAUSE THEN HE CAN NOT PAY ANYTHING,AND GOING TO COURT,WELL HE WOULD PROBABLY COUNTER-SUIT,ASK THAT THE KIDS TO SPEAK TO THE JUDGE, AND TRY TO TAKE CUSTODY OF THE KIDS,THEY ARE PROBABLY OLD ENOUGH TO MAKE THEIR OWN CHOICE.EITHER WAY , FILE WITH THE COURTS,AND DONT SLING MUD ABOUT YOUR EX, AND JUST WAIT IT OUT AND WHAT EVER THE COURTS DECIDE,SO BE IT.
YOU MADE THE CHOICE OF KEEPING YOUR KIDS,SO LIVE WITH IT, OR SIT DOWN AND CALCULATE YOUR EXPENSES NOW AND WHAT WILL IT BE IF YOU DID NOT HAVE CUSTODY OF YOUR KIDS,YOU WILL BE SUPRISED...GOOD LUCK

The Clerk's office where the support is paid can tell you exactly how much your ex is in arrears. Take that information to your local child support enforcement division (it's usually at your local courthouse) Good Luck!

Get a lawyer involved. If the amount was court ordered he is legally bound to pay the full amount.
