well, it’s not really illegal issue. I was just wanting to see if I could still make my ex-husband pay child support he never did. And I had a court order when we went to court maybe 30 years ago I his mother asked me not to put him in jail, his word to her that he would pay me cash, so I lied and told the judge that he was giving me cash money and I course I got yelled at by the judge, but that’s what I did and he never paid me anything. As a matter fact we also had a half sandlot that his sister gave us and he has some girl for my name and sold a lot in house and never gave me a pin a penny out of it kept it all spent it on himself so I was just wondering if there’s anything I can do now my kids are * and *
Hello ****. It's a complicated situation. Let's focus on child support first. In Texas:
- Child support arrears can be collected indefinitely.
- No statute of limitations exists for unpaid child support.
However, proving the non-payment may be challenging given the time lapse. Would you happen to have any documentation or proof of this agreement?
no, I don’t have any papers but when we were in court that day, his mom was with him and I would do anything for her. I just left her so much so I agreed with her like I said I lied that he was giving me money but he wasn’t, I don’t have a court order I never went back was because I lied the first time that we went but I just wanted a friend told me I could still try to get off support from him. That’s just what to do.
Hello ****, it seems like a challenging situation. In Texas, if you don't have any documentation, it might be hard to pursue child support arrears. However, you can still consider consulting with a family law attorney who might be able to guide you better based on the specifics of your case.
well, I don’t know about any documentation during papers, but my kids can tell you that he never paid child support. His wife now can tell you he never paid child support but and then as far as the house and that he had some girl my name one day he called me and told me that notary person was going to call me and asked me if I signed up papers for the house and not to sell it. He said he would give me money if I would just tell that notary guy that I signed the papers so I believe him again and again I got nothing. He kept it all.
Hello ****, this situation is indeed complex. Regarding the house, Texas law allows for suits involving fraudulent transfers of property. You might have a case if you can provide evidence that your ex tricked you into signing away your rights. It would be best to consult with a real estate attorney on this matter.
