Complaint Review: Heather Schultz

Heather is a Deadbeat Mom. As of Feb. 1, 2007 she owes approximately $11, 867 in child support for her 14 year old son. The order to pay child support was entered in March of 2004. Prior to that, she never bothered to pay anything or help out.

She barely talks to her son. She moved to the same city to spend time with him yet only saw him a handful of times because her husband relocated too. She has a drug problem and admitted in writing that she has been high in front of her child. While living in the same town as her son, she worked as a waitress to avoid paying child support.

Despite these issues, she has worked at some well known companies, including a subsidiary of Union Pacific and ConAgra Foods; where she has had salaries that would easily cover her child support if she weren't spending it on drugs and/or alcohol.

She left the state when her car was impounded and she couldn't pay the rent. She returned to Omaha, where she worked as a waitress to again avoid paying child support. She has recently relocated to Postville, IA and obtained a position at Agriprocessors, Inc.

The State of Iowa will begin garnishing her child support payments soon but it's unlikely that she will pay anything towards her arrears and she would not be likely to make any voluntary payments for the support of her son. Boyfriends, drugs and partying are her priorities, not her child.
