the bios themselves tell the state where they work and they don't pursue collection.  They push it over to the federal level in the hopes that next year the parents will file for an income tax refund...and of course keep the money to pay the state back for the small help they give me.  I've called and asked why they are not garnishing only to be told they don't have a current address.  Duh.  It was computer printed on the CS order last December, along with the employer information...who dropped the ball?  I have to just sit back and not expect anything from anyone or I would go nutz.

Sometimes, a divorce is like that.  You have to rely on yourself to be the strongest one to lift yourself and your children out of a bad situation (like this OP) and find strength that can only be gifted by a higher power to lean on to move on.  The point is...the world was here first...it expects nothing from us and we deserve nothing from it...we each have to decide the right path to take and find the internal strength to take those baby steps one at a time, day by day, until we have achieved a lifetime of positives in the here and now that outweighed the negatives of the past.

I really do emphasize with the OP.  There, but by the grace of .... go I.  sometimes, twice, lol.
