Post: Am I a Deadbeat Dad?
Posted by Ken on 5/01/03
In 1985, my ex divorced me and was awarded child support. I, being a bitter, immature prat in those days, decided, if I cannot see my son, I'll just not pay. I paid haphazardly, my wages were garnished, income tax refunds usurped and such. I was about 6k to 7k in arrears when I met my current wife (15 years now). Two weeks after we met, I was arrested for violation of the California Penal Code #270. She, not listening to her freinds but instead to her heart, got me released on a 10K bond. I was made to attend monthly court appearances in the County of Orange, California. The presiding Judge ordered remuneration of all welfare (AFDC) and to get on the monthly current support bandwagon. I complied and after three long years, I was awarded freedom from the courts and a bit of maturity. I thought so at least. OC, CA. went bankrupt in the early nineties. Soon after the bad investments were made public, I again became a deadbeat Dad. They, OC DA Child support Div., felt the need to reapply payments already DISBURSED!!! They did it in such a way that their records showed I paid no welfare reimbursement and tacked on interest at 10% a year compouded monthly. I then received a bill from OC for over $12K. I was shocked. I have undergone several spinal fusions over the years but I still paid my support. In '95' we moved to Dallas and California had their Attorney General proxy for the collection purpose, great use of tax money eh? I filed BK Chpt. 7 in '95' and discharged $9,000 of interest that they alleged I owed. They contested at first but didn't show up for court, Fed BK Ct. The Fed Judge allowed the discharge because; in 1995 no laws existed disallowing the discharge of any interest accrued on any account of an order to support in any State. Yes, we set precedence and were qouted in other BK cases. Oddly enough, Feds changed the law in 1996, with no retro powers, to include any and all interest. OC DA's then reapplied my payments again. Oh its not interest its back payments, you paid off the interest before you accumulated it. Huh? hows that? I paid the interest before I incurred any. Wow, that's a scam Enron crunchers would be proud of. I have requested hearings to contest the validity of charges since Nov. 1998, filed in the clerks office of Dallas. Tx says they cannot proceed without pay history from OC,Ca. of which Dallas AG office has requested since 1997. AG got the "Audit" on 04/28/03. I have all receipts showing application of payments, and an original audit from the County of Orange showing th real payments and 2 subsequent reapplication of payment audits, showing a differernt payment history each time, each one showing more money owed each time. Fade to the present: I go to the local Grocers to get my kids, Christopher 8 1/2, Keely 7 and Colin 5, the standards. I find I cannot buy anything. ALL of my accounts are FROZEN!!! Lovely Liberal Ca has levied all of my assets. They say I owe 16K. I say not. I have proof they have liberal government muscle. I'm a blue collar plumber and they're blood sucking scum bags who dont care whose lives they ruin. Lets make sure the State gets all of their interest before three children in Dallas get their breakfast or dinner. God Bless America, Eh, What?
