I was scheduled to go to court this morning to finalize the child support issue and Erika fired her attorney so we have to get yet another continuance. This is her fourth attorney; well 5th, because she had her sister find an attorney to send me a letter threatening me and I responded "Sue me! I will finally get my day in court and prove that she is in violation of her own fucked decree. Well, needless to say he backed off for two reasons; she didn't have the money to pay an attorney in Austin to represent her in Houston and because she would have lost and I would have visitation with my boys again.
The other crazy thing about this child support issue is that I am on disability and had ZERO money for 2 1/2 years. I was court ordered to pay $175 each month (for both). Now, my disability benefits pay my boys $233 each ($466 total) yet the two Texas appellate courts, the 1st & the 14th, have differing opinions on whether or not to credit the disability payments. The Office of the Attorney General states that I am in arrears $11,000 and the Department of Social Security asserts my boys have collected more than $18,000. In my opinion the OAG and the DRO (Domestic Relations Office) would rather me stand on the corner and sell crack to pay my court ordered $175 as oppose to me spending my time healing myself and letting my boys collect almost $500 per month.
All this has been going on since 2006 and I haven't even seen my boys since 2004.
