My father has left my mother and I, high and dry for the last 16 years. After making approximately 2 monthly payments, he stopped paying the court ordered child support, and has never attempted to start repaying either of us in any way.
Over the last 16 years, his incompetence has added up to him oweing us over $23000. My mother and I have been attempting to collect our arrears for the last year, to no avail. We have spoke to many lawyers, and as of right now, we are waiting for our provincial government to send us the proper forms needed to carry out the rest of the ordeal.
Over the last 16 years he has made very little attempt to come and see me, or have me flown, or bussed up there to visit him. My grandparents have always handled that end. He has 3 other children with 2 other women, He supports all 3, and sees them often, without missing a beat. Denis is 40 and his wife Jen, is 23.
His monthly payments are very little with me, only $150 a month. I'm sure he pays quite a bit more for the other 2 kids. The worst part is; i know he's completely capable of paying this ammount within a very short time, he just figures my mom is too scared to do anything about it, so he doesnt worry about it.
