Mother’s Dilemma: To Return or Not to Return Ex’s Child Support Payments?

Imagine this: 12 years ago, you’re awarded full custody of your son. Your ex, a man of many words but little action, is ordered to pay a mere $130 a month in child support. He boldly declares in court that you’ll never see a dime from him. Fast forward to today, he’s changed his tune and wants his child support payments back. Why? Because he’s finally decided to file his taxes, only to find out all his returns are being seized for unpaid support. Now, he’s pleading poverty and asking for the money back to support his new family. What would you do?

This is money your Ex owes your child, not you. If your Ex and his GF want money for their kids, then they need to get out and work hard and start making money. That’s on them. This child support arrears is a bit of a windfall. You may not need it, but your child deserves this money and his father legally owes it. Since you don’t need the money, put it into your state’s 529 plan (or other investment account for the future, if you’re outside the US). Your son can use the money for his education or other future expenses.”
