Wish me luck next week

What my X found out was, she could have asked for child support until the girls were 21 but she didn't (it was to get me not to fight her leaving Misssouri with them against my wishes...joint custody when she ran off were her girlfriend) and decided to go after me this past July. She filed with Texas social services who in turn filed with Missouri. They came after me like a dead beat dad. I hired an attorney $2600 so far, but they wouldn't listen. They did schedule a hearing BUT they went ahead and garnished my wages BEFORE the hearing. They started taking $1248.00 a month from my paycheck. I take home about $1400 a month now with kids, mortgage, you name it. I finally was given a hearing on 4 December. The X admitted she knew it ended when the girls turned 18 (one is 21 and a half) but feels she is entitled to the money anyway. The attorney who conducted the hearing told me X she contradicted herself several times and grilled her good. I left feeling we had done as well as could be expected. But the law may still rule in her favor. Here it is the 21st and I have still not heard from the state. I get paid once a month, on the 28th, and that is next week. It is a very bleak Christmas for us. I appreciate your concern. Unless someone has been in the situation, me for example, I had no idea what people can go through screwed over by bureacracy and blood sucker X's. Hey Cassius, if you are out there, if I can get this settled then I want the 360 and tranny. My cars are sitting in the garage wondering why I stopped working on them.
