My ex husband has been on welfare for the last 6 years and has zero intention of getting off welfare and finding a job. He is working on the side and there is evidence of this on the internet. I've reported this to the Welfare fraud hotline, to no avail.
Because he is on welfare, FRO will not enforce the support order. After a 4 day trial last year, my lawyer was able to convince the judge to obtain his bank and credit card records which showed heavy spending on travel, gas, jewelry etc. The judge imputed his income to almost $40K, a far cry from the 12K or less he was reporting on his taxes every year (welfare income).
Does anyone have any experience in this kind of situation? From what I'm told, welfare fraud can only do so much - so long as he tells them his children are hungry, they will continue to support him. He has remarried and has two more children. He owes me over $40K in child support and I was also awarded $13K in costs, which are to be enforced as support as well - so he owes me over $50K.
Any help or comments are really appreciated - I'm quite frustrated with this situation - it's really unfair how he's getting away with this. As a sidenote, he has not seen our children in almost 4 years - both his choice and the children's choice, which became the decision of the Children's lawyer as well.
