A friend of mine is behind over $32,000, but he makes a partial payment every month. He's trying!
There is a saying: "If you can't make one payment - you can't make two."
And this is what drives the financial burden.
Pay attention to what is happening here. You are connecting yourself to a man that has other responsibilities that supersede your fantasy expectations. In marrying him, you are marrying into his past life that will be with him for his entire life.
He WILL have a relationship with his ex for the rest of his life and so will you!
If you don't think this is the truth........you are in for a shock.
 
Most states have laws which allow a non custodial parent to go to jail up to six months for not paying child support. While in jail he is still responsible for the future amounts owed as well. Basically your stuck in jail until you prove you have a job so your wages can be garnished.

Time in jail only occurs when the child support officer believes the non custodial parent is not cooperating. Also, since most child support officers of the court have over 800 cases they only give priority to those cases with the spouse who complains the most.

So there are two factors here, one is that his ex is pushing as hard as she can calling the court every day trying to get your fiancee in jail. Probably because she is jealous that he is getting married since she herself is a loser. Factor Two, your fiance has to call this officer and keep him or her 100% in touch with his progress to get a job, and get his wages garnished or to find a way to pay what is owed. He needs to not say why he hasn't paid or why it's hard but how he will pay and when.
