This is a story on a student law ruling, I am not sure I totally understand how the government can claim loan payments after the ten year mark.

Can someone explain for me?

I don't know all the legalities,
but it might relate that some debts cannot be written of through chapter 7 bankruptcy.

Student loans and child support are 2.

I was stuck in hawaii (real hardship) and not making enough to pay bills,
eat, pay rent and child support.
None the less, child support stacked up at 350 a month for 16 months.
Chapter 7 took away all my bills except that one.

The 5600 in back support was paid off with the remainder of a small
inheratance, and the subsequent years tax return.

With it my ex was able to put a new roof on the house she had just purchased.

THat must have really stuck in your throat.

My dad used to pay my mom child support, but I lived like a little rat, to even the point my nick name was Dirt. She and my step-father had a rather elegant life though, fucking Republicans.

I have decided to take a different philosophical approach to the fact that
my ex makes quite a bit more than I do, yet still depends on my support payments.

At the time she bought the house,
I was living in my sisters basement.

A couple of years ago she bought a new Honda Accord,
while I'm driving a 12 year old pick up.



The way I have chosen to see it worls like this.
Having a son, his well being is a shared expense.
As such I have an obligation to contribute.
If she's living in a decient house, so is my son!
If she has a new car, then my son is riding in a safer, more dependable vehicle.

Now, my son is in his middle teens, and we have begun, "those %#@*" teen years!
What does bother me, is that now she refuses to talk to me about the welfare and parenting of our son!
As long as I agree with what ever she decides, we get along famosly.
But If I disagree? She hangs up the phone or walks away from me.

The kid is too old for me to take her to court over this.
For the amount of time left, it wouldn't be worth the angst for all of us,
especially my boy.



Is that enough thread drift?
