Thanks for posting this. My brother pays $300 per month for the rest of his life for kids that are over 20. This is a lifetime interest payment made to the state of California. Not one penny goes to past due child support. He lives in his car in order to keep the payments up. I guess they would call him a dead beat dad.Having to pay $300 per month forces him to live in a car? Sounds like your brother isn't trying very hard to pay up.
Just how long did your brother not pay support? A $300 monthly interest payment translates to $3,600 a year. At 10% (I checked--that's the CA interest rate on overdue support), that's $36,000 in arrears.
Finally, why didn't he pay?
Gee, my ex's CS was just increased to $470/mo. and he's not living in his car....but he will be. LOLOL
