My ex-husband Kevin A. Hansen Sr. owes $34,500.00 in back child support for our three children. This is not including the $182.00 a week for the current support. He filed for chapter 13 to try to go bankrupt on his back rent and back electric bills also. I really think that all of this is amazing. What a dead beat! In order to file for chapter 13 you need to have an regular income, he is unemployed. But his new wife does work. He also has a child with her that has cancer. It is a shame that when I first met her some 14 years ago and told her hey think about it ... if he cant(or wont) support our three children what makes you think he will support you? Well I guess I was right he cant even support himself thru a bankruptcy!
You can file for child support based on her income. It happened to a friend of mine . It won't be much unless she has an exceptional job, but it will pr obally force him to find work.
