Ok I know I haven't been here that long but I seriously gotta rant here. I HATE and yes I mean hate my ex husband. He's a worthless piece of trash I tell ya. Little bit of history then I'll tell ya what really set me off. I divorced dumbass in 1999 and honestly he wasn't so bad back then. I just couldn't be with him is all. So we have a great kid, Marissa. She's 14 now but she's sick. She has Crohn's Disease and we haven't been able to find a way to control it yet and that's going on 2 years now so she's always miserable. We pulled her outta school b/c there's no way she can go. Anyhow he's always been a dead beat dad. Yeah I get my child support but that's b/c his wages are garnished so he doesn't have to worry about it. I had to file bankruptcy after we were divorced b/c I got nailed with her medical bills and our cc bills. Of course he won't help pay for her meds or bills, oh yeah or any of her schooling. Yes he is court ordered to but the problem is the collection agencies and credit card companies don't give a hoot and there's not alot you can do about it. So last year Marissa got really sick and she had to see a pediatric gastroenterologist (sp?) and her other specialist is a pediatric oncologist/hematologist. Now dipshit has insurance on her but the problem is the only specialists within a 3 hr drive that need to see her are not contracted by his insurance so b/c of her Crohn's Disease I was able to get medicade for her that will pay for most of these bills. So far it's up to 15K that's been turned into collection. I've been fighting with him for over a year to just get me the EOBs from insurance so the docs can turn all of this into medicade but it seems he just wants to be a total dick. If we had those it would be paid, almost all of it. So now they are getting ready to take me to court unless I start paying all of these bills that should be paid anyway. I hate him, i hate him i hate him. Ugh ok sorry it's so long and if ya read it well thanks b/c I know it was a lot to take in. I'm just stuck and pissed.

That might be a good point---go and apply for federal aid-----let THEM find him and take his money!!!

My DD had no medicaid, so I had not considered that angle but I know from a friend who used to receive food stamps or a card thing, and medicaid for her kids, they DID help her get things straightened out with her ex.

Good point!
