Long story as short as possible. I was divorced in 2003 in Neuces Co. I was awarded ‘primary conservator-ship’ of our three daughters. I resided in Military housing, since I was Active duty Navy. I have all leases/school records/income tax refunds proving this. In the divorce decree it was written that ‘I’ would pay whomever I chose at the time an amt of money for supporting of the girls IF I was ever deployed. That time came when I was given orders overseas, during that time I chose to allow my X wife to care for our daughters while I was away, simply because I knew upon my return, I would be Retiring, and moving with our girls to the state in which I chosen to retire. During the time that I was overseas, she (X-wife) used the decree/girls to her advantage, and had my wages garnished for child support, making it appear that she was the one who has always had custody of them, (since 2003) thus making it appear to all concerned that I have not been paying her child support, when in reality it is I that clearly has had them, cared for them with the exception of the six months that I was out to sea. Every month, she continues to get child support taken from my Retirement, and yet she does not, and has not had our girls in her care since I returned from my deployment. I’m trying to have my decree modified stating that since I am now retired, the only one caring for my daughters would be myself and my current wife, thats the least Im trying to do, and need advice…anyone with mature answers, please reply.
