I'm going to live on the edge and presume that it wasn't a single $50 child support payment that was missed.
Not to say that every man is in my situation, but my ex brought a case against me for non-payment of child support in Texas, while she was already receiving money for that child via Indiana, Indiana ceded the case to Texas (because the two departments can and do communicate [hooray]), but Indiana only turned over 2 years worth of payment documentation to Texas (because sometimes government departments don't keep records well [boo]) so all of a sudden it looks as though I'm in arrears 9 years on payments. My wages are being garnished to this day, and because there is a limit to how much they can take I won't be "caught up" on payments until sometime after my child has reached the age of maturity, so assuming my ex continues to get checks from Texas A.G. office, she's gonna be getting money for child support after she is no longer entitled, she won't be required to claim it as income, and she won't have to have worked for it. Isn't that great? So if I stopped paying, when my child reached the age of maturity, would I be in the wrong?
