My father has left my mother and I, high and dry for the last 16+ years. After making approximately 2 monthly payments, he stopped paying the court ordered child support, and has never attempted to start repaying either of us in any way.

Over the last 16 years, his incompetence has added up to him oweing us over $23000. My mother and I have been attempting to collect our arrears for the last year, to no avail. We have spoke to many lawyers, and as of right now, we are waiting for our provincial government to send us the proper forms needed to carry out the rest of the ordeal.

Over the last 16 years he has made very little attempt to come and see me, or have me flown, or bussed up there to visit him. My grandparents have always handled that end. He has 3 other children with 2 other women, He supports all 3, and sees them often, without missing a beat. Denis is 40 and his wife Jen, is 23.

His monthly payments are very little with me, only $150 a month. I'm sure he pays quite a bit more for the other 2 kids. The worst part is; i know he's completely capable of paying this ammount within a very short time, he just figures my mom is too scared to do anything about it, so he doesnt worry about it.

AUTHOR: Matt - (Canada)

POSTED: Friday, April 03, 2009

This is Matt here. Over the past 5 years my dad has started paying my mom back for the arrears owing. I have no idea how much my mom has recieved to date, even though she explained to me when this all started, that at any point in time if i ever wanted to know how much he had paid, it was a simple process to look it up on the internet. My mom and I came upon a 50/50 agreement which i informed my dad and grandparents (dads side) of, and they they thought that it still seemed unfair to me. I never told my mom about this and was fine with the 50/50 agreement. For graduation my mom and step dad gave me a very nice ring and a 1985 cadillac fleetwood, which they agreed i would pay $3000 for, out of the arrears from my dad. so up until $6000 of arrears had been paid, i wouldnt see anything. After i talked to my dad one day on the phone, he informed me that he knew he had made more than $6000 in payments got some reciepts out, and i think at the time he had paid $9000. I'm not the kind of person to bring something like this up with her, because i dont want to hurt my mom, but one day we got into a fight, and of course, with something weighing on your mind like that, it came out, and she broke down. I felt horrible because i thought that i shouldnt really HAVE to bring it up, and i knew it would hurt her. But why did she break down like that? probably because of guilt, because she knew what she was doing and she knew it wasnt right, so she told me if she had the money that she WOULD pay me. This winter her and my step dad went to northern alberta to work as head chef and 1st cook. they spent 4 months up there, and i have no idea how much they made, but im sure it wasnt chump change. During this time, i moved up north on my own and did quite well with no help from either side, for 4 months until i got laid off. i had no one to call for help, so eventually what little money i had left went to staying alive for another month. When i thought all hope was gone, my mom and step dad showed up at my door just in the nick of time, and they took me to edmonton to live with my cousin. They gave my cousin a little money to help with food for me, and i was again left to find my way, well they went back to work, understandable. But when a buddy of mine came up to edmonton and we got a place to live which he footed the bill for everything, and when i asked my mom for some money to help me out a little bit to get back on my feet, she said no. again i dont want to cause problems between me and my mom i feel shes all i have left, because i know my dad holds contempt towards me for all of this, and especially how i handled things between Him and I. I never wanted him to know i was a part of this, because i dont want to be, i hate being in the middle. So still to this day, other than the car i paid for, for graduation, i still havent seen a cent. My problem with bringing this up between my mom and I, is I dont really know if im entitled to anything, my dad and his parents think so...but I dont know what to think!? Am I entitled to any? But in conclusion, my dad has made attempts to right his wrongs, he has changed alot for the better over the last couple years, mostly due to his new wife, who keeps him in check a lot more then my mom or my little brothers and sisters mom ever could have. Jennifer is a very strong person, and she has tried to help from the sidelines, giving her best advice on the situation. I love my dad, and i love my mom. this is all so stupid, i just want to know what is morally right! morally, should my mom not pay me? morally, should i not ask for it? If you have any words of wisdom, please, email me at (((Redacted)))
