The mother of my children is intent on making me miserable. I'm not letting her get to me. It's almost as if she's upset that I'm doing well for herself, she has a new boyfriend and baby on the way yet it still seems to bother her that I'm not miserable. She's now threatening to take me to court to have child support payments increased, strictly out of spite. I pay all my child support weekly and on time only problem is I know she doesn't spend all the money on my kids as she is supposed to. She's basically living off me but anyway when I first got put on child support they were basing it off of my training pay. My kids stay and Illinois and Illinois goes by %17 of your gross pay. I just wanted to know if I could tip the scales in my favor if she does take me back to court. Illinois usually gives me a month and a half advance when calling me in to go to court so I was wondering if I could ask my company to put me on a miles cap and keep my miles low in the weeks leading up to my court date if she calls me in? That way if they ask for paystubs I could just make it appear as if I'm not making as much. I work hard, pay all my bills, give as much time and money to my kids as I can, even outside of child support. She hasn't allowed me to talk to them since the end of November because "I don't pay enough" she's really trying to make this hard for me. Would this work?

You do NOT ever want to tell your employer to keep miles low. That's fraud or deception in your favor. You can be prosecuted for it. Wouldnt she love that.
You will make whatever you will make in trucking. That state will take their 17%. What you need to do is retain if you do not already every scrap of paper related to payroll each week. Because there will be some weeks your miles will be low through NO FAULT of your own. That is why there should never be a attempt from you to your bosses to short your miles that could be documented and used against you after discovery.
Sooner or later those kids hit 18 and that will be THAT. End of that episode. Hang in there.JReding, Coffey, CrappieJunkie and 2 others Thank this. -
You can try that with your company, they may help, may not... Been through what you are going through, towards the end, my daughter was 15 and I was paying $635 a week as a company driver. Do whatever you can, because when a woman gets her teeth into you, it can get very ugly. And FOC is not going to have mercy on you, as you are nothing more than a cash cow.

I completely forgot one other thing.
Your CDL. It's earned by you and a License to go and generate this income in a Professional Manner and so forth.
It can and WILL absolutely be stripped from you for non payment of child support. The state giveth, the state taketh. Follow me?
Even talking about the possibility or question about having a future employer or boss short your overall income to cheat your exwife using the very state's collection (Enforcement) against her. Is discoverable and can be used against you. I understand you had a question and asked it. But I strongly suggest you delete this stuff when you have the answers you seek, somewhat soon.
As far as I am concerned this is strictly a what if talk and I told you all I know about this kind of situation. Just be careful.
I keep thinking of the kids. Im sure you love them and all that. Be very careful with the idea that your exwife is not spending the money on them as required. That can burn you really bad if it is ever wrong. Follow me?CrappieJunkie Thanks this. -

I'm curious...what is the current agreement as far as what you pay and your visitation schedule? And do you document everything? How old are the kids?

This is part of my Belief system in God. It may not apply to you because I don't know you personally.
Consider this thought.
If someone is boastful on social media as you stated while living in HUD Housing etc at some point in the future those boasts and displays of wealth must turn to ash in that person's mouth from greed.
If you know anything about HUD, it is not possible to remain in one after a annual review uncovers undeclared wealth, monies or assets of any kind that is not already sworn to in that review.
Follow me? At some point in the future if she is not careful she will be brought to account. It's best to er.. pray for her and stay out of her way as she barrels to whatever that future might be. People have a habit of getting caught into a trap of their own design and building. And so it is.rabbiporkchop, gentleroger, 91B20H8 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Change companies to a company where you know the checks will be low. After court is settled, go back to the company you now work for. Some flatbed companies with regional runs, the paychecks are really small and some of those hourly local jobs are poverty wages.
