OK Im on a rant today.
I have a cousin who lives accross the street from me. She lives with her husband Matt and thier 10 yr old daughter, and when he is not in jail, her brother-in-law Daniel. He goes to jail on a regular basis on principle for not paying his child support for his children. He'll serve a few months at a time (currently he is serving 4 months at DCDC) and then come out a "changed man" go to work and pay a few payments before falling into drunkeness or unemployment (the later usually caused by the former). He gets a few weeks behind, and the police come to my cousins house, usually when he has casued a fight between he and his brother, and they read him his family court bench warrent and he goes to jail. easy as that.This is a pattern and he accepts it as his life.
Here is what burns my britches.
Steven's ex wife Jaime is under court order to pay us $23 a week for her child Jasmin. She is between 5 and 6 thousand dollars in arrears and has to pay a little over $100 a month of that. She quit paying anything at all Dec 15,2003. She had a warrent to appear in court Oct 04. She did not appear. (stupidhead) There has been a family court bench warrent for one Jaime Danielle Lane/Castrejon for nearly a year. She has been involved in no less than 3 domestic disputes with her brutally abusive illeagal mexican common law idiot (to whom she repeatedly returns to the very minute he gets out of jail... bigger stupidhead) in the past year. All of wich the police have been involved.
We have reported her to local and statewide Childsupport enforcement (SCCSED) as well as the local Sherrifs dept and the one in the county where she resides. Every time she moes we provide them all with the new information. When she works a job and we are informed of it, we report it YET STILL that woman avoids her warrent being served.
She hasnt seen Jasmin since June (when she came to town for our niece's birthday NOT to see her own child) She has to be reminded to even call the poor girl who worries constantly.
I want to know why a MAN who pays child support to a woamn is picked up in a matter of hours after his warrent is issued. and a WOMAN that owes a man can go YEARS with no problems.
I fully believe that were Steven the man behind in his support that Id have been bailing him out of jail months and months ago. Although were it Steven, he'd never have been behind in supporting his child.
I know that as christians, and as good people, we are to be forgiving. BE gentle with our debtors God knows I have owed and still do owe people money. And they ahve been more than forgiving. I guess I need to work on that because I am mad as heck that she gets away with it.

Have you ever considered adopting her. Would her mom give her up? Sounds like she's a little bit of a loser. Sorry you have to deal that mess.
