A man narrated his story of unintentional petty revenge when his ex-girlfriend exploited their daughter to act out of spite to get more money – and how that dramatically backfired!
She Cheated On Him
15 years ago, a young man and his partner found out they were expecting.
“My ex and I had dated off and on for 2 years, and then she became pregnant. We were living with her parents and 4 months after our daughter was born, she disappeared, apparently leaving me for a new boyfriend.”
She Wouldn’t Let Him Be Involved With His Child
His now-ex didn’t want the man to step up to the plate as a father – but she wanted his money.
“There was a little bit of contact after that for a while and then she seriously disappeared and her family said they had no idea where she was at. Almost two years went by and then the state contacted me for child support.”
He’s Been Paying For A Daughter He Never Gets To See
The man has paid child support, even though his ex stands in the way of him having a relationship with his daughter.
“Flash forward to when our daughter is about 15 and I’m paying $125 bucks a week in support. My ex has done everything in her power to prevent any real relationship with my daughter so I’m not really involved in her life as much as I would have liked.”
He Told Her Where To Go
His ex called him up for a moan about how hard parenting is and he wasn’t too sympathetic.
“Then, one day, my ex calls up complaining on and on about our daughter’s behavior and how tough everything is. Finally, I said, ‘Hey, you know this is not my problem. You got exactly what you wanted and kept me out of her life. So deal with it yourself’.”
She Threatened Revenge
The woman went off on him when he didn’t tell her what she wanted to hear.
“She started screeching about how I couldn’t talk to her like that and I told her that I didn’t want to hear her garbage anymore. She said I would be sorry. About a month or two goes by and I get a notice that she’s requested an income review to raise child support.”
He Asked A Simple Question
It was obvious her revenge plan was to try and get more money out of him.
“I called the friend of the court and spoke with an agent who, crazily enough, was the same agent I had spoken with when support was originally set 13 years prior. I told her it had not been 3 years since the last review and was curious as to why she was getting it.”
They Had To Conduct A Formal Review
Because of these circumstances, the court had to investigate why she was applying for this review outside of the designated time frame.
“The agent got some ruffled feathers and asked if I thought she didn’t have the authority to do so. I said you most certainly do have the authority to do so, but you had no interest in doing the review until she requested it.”
This Delayed Proceedings
His ex obviously thought she’d be entitled to more money right away.
“The conversation wound down, and then about a week later, I received a copy of a letter sent to my ex asking for her to please fill out what change of circumstance was she basing her request for an increase on.”
His Ex Refused To Communicate
Which turned out to be a BIG mistake.
“About a month after that, I got another letter that stated that since my ex did not respond, she was not only not getting her income review now, but she was also not getting her income review that was due at the end of the 3 years in a few months.”
Her Plan Had Majorly Backfired
Because of the woman’s refusal to communicate, she shot herself in the foot.
“By the time the next review would come up, my daughter would already be over 18, and child support would be at an end. So essentially, that meant my support was set until it was over.”
She Lost Out On A Lot Of Money
Had she bothered communicating, her plan would have worked.
“What they did not know was that my income had drastically increased since the last review, and she probably would have gotten about $150 to $200 a week in additional support for over 3 years. So possibly over $30K. So she tried to get petty but I was the one that got revenge.”
