Dear Ex-husband (I called him something a little more R rated but this is a PG-13 site):

I would like to discuss with you your non-payment of child support/alimony. I have decided that I want to start dating again, and I could really use the extra money. While I have been able to manage fine without you meeting your financial obligations, if you were to start paying me regularly it would free up money to pay for things like babysitters, dinner with my friends, and drinks. I know that you know that I never paid for a drink in my life (thanks guys!), but it is nice to actually offer to pay, and to do that I really need to have money in my wallet. Extra money would also allow me to get my hair done, mani/pedi's, and of course bikini-waxing, because you never know what might happen.

It would actually benefit (I was going to say behoove but I know you don't know what that means) you to meet your responsibilites because a sexually satisfied ex-wife is a happy ex-wife! That means when you blow-off your son's game again or forget to call the kids for weeks, I will be less likely to b*tch you out about it. Ultimately, by paying alimony now so I can date, it means that you won't have to pay it later. I am sure you will ask what I mean by that, it means I will hopefully be remarried.

I trust that I will be receiving a check from you in the very near future.

Sincerely,
Ex-wife

    My dad stopped paying child support a long time ago, started to add up to like 50 or 60, 000. Then the US government moved in and sent him to the penitentiary (sp?), needless to say, he's making whatever payments he can now.

    Ant parent that doesn't do whatever it takes to raise their child the best way possible, is a POS!!! I didn't have a child until I knew I was ready. And that meant always putting my child's needs first, no matter what. I am very happy to say that my son turned out to be a very good adult.

    I like what you've written.... as a single mom to a little girl whose father doesn't pay child support, I understand where you are coming from.

    However, "child support" is supposed to be money that supports the child. I probably would have spun my letter in that direction rather than in the "look at me, I want to date" direction. I feel like that will cause an argument... regardless of how you REALLY want to use the money, it's meant to "support" the "child".

    I'm lucky in that regard-- my ex is NEVER late with his payment, and is a pretty good dad overall. Loves his kids, and would never let his kids go without, I'm sure. I never had to take him to court-- we came up with a figure like grownups, and he makes it happen.

    In your state, can you take him to a version of Domestic Relations, and have his wages garnished? As for the alimony, in my state that has to be negotiated as part of the divorce settlement. I can't go back for it later. But child support is different. . Good luck!

    Pretty bland. As an ex husband that paid for my baby girl and everything else over 18 years, if this were a real letter, I would inform you it would not work.

    Saying to your ex hey give me the money youowe me so I can drink, get waxed, get laid, and party prolly isnt gonna work. Gonna have the opposite impact.

    I am totally against POS dads--AND moms cuz they are out there too. You put the time in to sport it, then you need to abort it or support it. Not walk away.

    I know this was in jest but Im sure it has a basis in fact---if you have a POS ex, I hope you get your cash. Cash aside, I hope he goes to see his kids game---in 8 years I missed 3 games, and will always treasure those memories.

    Luck.

    LOL If I sent that to my ex-husband, he'd rack up even more past due support (currently at over 17K) because he wouldn't understand the sarcasm. Get your local Child Support Enforcement involved. They'll get it for you. ;)

    Thank God my support payments come right out of his check or I would never get anything.

    Do you take IOU's?
    How about a post dated check?

    Thanks
