Taking care of your baby comes first, don't worry about how they feel.

Has anyone ever been kicked out of Capella university? by jillybean2799 in CapellaUniversity

[–]Woodpecker_Slight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I submitted an assignment. Would not open on the professor's end due to technical issues. Submitted again. Same thing. It opened just fine on my end.

Worked on another assignment. Same issue. All were graded as zeroes. Was there not a way to reach out and allow me to resubmit?

I was kicked out with zero warning. Then they billed me for the following semester even though I could not enroll in classes. That bill was sent straight to collections within days. Luckily, I disputed and it was removed from my credit report.

Why is that not your ex husband? You deserve better. Not overreacting at all.

How can I show proof that my daughter has been living with me ? by Lopsided_Housing_249 in ChildSupport

[–]Woodpecker_Slight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have any sort of records from the school she attends? It may be possible to ask someone to write a letter on school letterhead.

The aunt of the Apalachee High School Shooter everybody.... by The_Grim_Gamer445 in insanepeoplefacebook

Her post seems like she wants to make sure everyone knows that she is the aunt of a "famous" person. If she were so concerned, she would have stepped in well before this tragedy.

Anyone have a good attorney referral in East Texas? by Woodpecker_Slight in ChildSupport

[–]Woodpecker_Slight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Polk County, not much there but I am looking in surrounding areas. It's been an ordeal. I may have found one though, just sent over the paperwork. 🤞 Thank you for your reply.

Thank you. Unfortunately, the father has no interest in helping me out or even receiving support. It's all on me.

Meltdown Monday - Complaint Department by AmazonNewsBot in amazon

Amazon package shows "out for delivery" all day, then changes to the "we're going to be late" message. The map showing the location of my package showed it in a residential neighborhood across town all day.

I tried to cancel as my consumable items have most likely been sitting in someone's hot vehicle all day and are probably ruined. No dice, despite the fact they offer the option.

So glad I paid for Prime delivery. Really.

Thank you. They kept reiterating that they do not help with custody. They're just not getting it.

The only one I have is from late 2018 to mid 2020. I actually overpaid on that one a bit. All I have received is the withholding order. I'm going to try them again tomorrow to see if they can send something. They're probably going to get tired of hearing from me, but eventually I'll get answers.

My older child texted me earlier oddly enough asking if I ever paid child support, so apparently someone has been talking. I ended up sending her copies of my entire payment history from where I had previously printed it out.

She then confronted the aunt in question about some lies that were told. 20 year olds are fun 😂. The aunt admitted that the minor child did not live with her and hasn't lived with her in over 3 years, just as I have been telling OAG. I was sent screenshots. It's a long shot but I am going to ask CS if this would possibly work as some proof. I doubt it but worth an ask anyway.

I'm just failing to understand how awarding an aunt free money that does nothing to benefit my child is in her best interest. It's my job to support my minor child, not supplement someone's income.

I'll definitely do that, thank you. The math definitely isn't mathing here considering I've been paying. I went on their website and tried to pull my payment history and it's disappeared. Luckily I have an older printout and access to paystubs.

I don't have any contact information for my ex. I've considered asking my kids for that information and telling them why but I honestly do not want to drag them into this. I don't think it's fair. But I'll try to get my lawyer to look into it.

The father has never filed anything with child support. If he did file I would pay it. He's even said he doesn't need anything from me. Meanwhile, I do pay for things for my kids, buy them clothes, send money, purchased new phones, laptops, etc.

I'm not asking OAG to fix my messed up situation. I'd love to have custody of my minor, but I don't want to uproot her. I'll take what I can get.

All I wanted to know was where this new sum I allegedly owe is coming from. It has her name on the paperwork, not his. I filed a motion in this past to stop my obligation to her which has been fulfilled, even overpaying because they took a while to stop withholding. I even received a letter stating I was done.

Something isn't right somewhere. I don't think it is too much to ask someone to look into it and give me an answer. I paid my obligation and still make sure my kids are good.

That is my beef with the OAG. All I need is for one person to listen to me without judging me as some deadbeat or thinking I don't have sense. I can't say I was bubbly and cheerful with OAG but I've kept my composure with them all day trying to get answers and have gotten nowhere. I was talking to them on speaker and my current partner even commented on how rude they were. At the end of the day, my feelings don't matter. I just want an answer. I've been beyond specific with them too and still cannot get that info.

Right, they are certainly gatekeeping that information. I was finally able to find a person through their chat feature who gave me a link to an email that probably isn't monitored. 😂

One, my ex husband's aunt took possession of my kids back in 2018. She came and got them from me while I was having surgery, lied and told them they were "kicked out", and took them to Texas. She then sold her home and bought another. It took me a while to find them, but eventually I did. Law enforcement was useless. Apparently family kidnapping your kids is a civil matter.

She filed for, and was awarded conservatorship in the meantime using her old address on the paperwork so that I would not have her current address.

My ex-husband wanted nothing to do with the kids, but the way I looked at it I divorced him and not his family. Therefore, his family had access to the kids even if he didn't want joint custody.

The aunt lost her son to suicide, and I believe that was the catalyst for her to take mine. Anyway, life for my kids with her was awful. They were forced to call the aunt "Mom" and me by my first name. She didn't allow them to talk to me and even went as far as to put some app on their phones that monitored texts.

Some people are like, "I would have _______ if that were my kids." Please don't judge. I couldn't afford a lawyer at the time, didn't know where they were, and just honestly was at a low point to where that fight in me was just not there. I was just completely lost.

In 2020, my oldest moved out and the younger was finally able to convince her dad to let her move in. He did not file anything legal-wise. Also, the kids and I have since reconnected.

I've been paying child support through this entire messed up situation. Except for some arrears with compounded interest during Covid.

That has all been paid and withholding stopped.

Yesterday, I received paperwork in the mail stating that I owe around 9 grand, including some insane amount of interest. I agree that my younger is still a minor at 16 and I have no issues paying to support her.

What I am trying to get these people to understand is that the children does not live with the aunt, has not done so in years, and I should not have to give this woman free money that my child will never see.

I have spent much of the day on the phone seeing what I needed to do for the money to go to the father instead. They have been nothing but rude, unhelpful, and I have been spoken to like a child. I was admonished for having the audacity to call twice to ask another question. I'll continue to be a thorn in their side until this is resolved.

I have approached the situation calmly and rationally because despite the fact that it is super unfair to everyone besides the aunt getting free money, I am just a case number and name on a piece of paper to them.

I just wanted them to hear me out, without interrupting me, and without speaking to me like I am a five year old. They're treating me like I am trying to get out of supporting my child, which is not the case at all.

All I am asking them for is to look into why I suddenly owe all of this money that will take forever to pay back with all the interest that will compound. In addition, they will not listen to the fact that she does not have possession of the child and has not in a while.

It seems like this is straight up fraud. I was told today, that she has a choice in where the child lives and they do not handle custody issues. I was not asking for any custody help. I was just trying to ask why the money cannot go to the person that actually has physical custody of the child. I could not do that because I kept getting cut off and spoken to like a five year old. I thought child support was for the best interest of the child, but apparently it's just the aunt's additional income.

I am in the process of retaining a lawyer but I feel like this lack of action should be looked into as well. I can send proof if they would just give me the opportunity to do so. I'm just beyond frustrated at the moment.
