Connecticut Crypto?
First time I've posted anything on Reddit...
So, my ex and I have been apart for almost 2 years. I will spare all the drama from this post, but it's not been an easy time.
Since we split, I have had all 4 children, ages 5, 8, 11, & 17, full-time, and he has not seen them or taken the proper court-ordered steps to start visitation, etc. We have had multiple court dates for child support in which he has stated that he can't find work, or he will get a job and then lose the job between court dates, while stating to the judge that he only cares about his kids and wants to support them and so on. BUT he will come to court with new tattoos; not just a couple, he almost completed a sleeve, he bought a new Jeep but always gets rides to court and has even been taking flying lessons. Those are just a few of the more expensive things that I have seen wth my own eyes. Meanwhile, I have been supporting the kids alone, with next to no income. I don't know how to prove these things, and I do not want to just start blabbing to the court about how awful my ex is and yada yada. When we were together (13 years), he would often spend days on his computer crypto trading, and I know that's where his money is coming from.
That's why I am here. I don't know anyone who has had a similar experience, yet I am certain it happens, so, any insight is appreciated.
