I want to thank each and every one of you for your signature and support!! It really means so much! Please keep sharing the link! So, when I started this, I couldn't possibly say everything that I wanted to say in the initial petition, because there is just so much. We're talking fifteen years worth of stories with my ex-husband and subsequent battles with my NJ child support caseworkers, begging them to do something. I wanted to share more of the story that I touched on in the initial petition. I had spoken about how in late May 2024, me and my son realized that my ex was working in our town, and had been for quite a few months, while not paying any child support during that time. Payments had completely stopped in March 2024. For many months leading up to that, we were getting a much lower amount than the court ordered amount every week. It was coming directly out of his unemployment check. His unemployment ran out in late February/ early March and that's when the payments stopped altogether. So, when we realized in late May, that he was working in our town, I found the establishment's business Facebook page. I scrolled and scrolled to see if I could find a picture that had my ex in it. Sure enough, I found a picture of him working at the establishment, dated March 5th. I took a screenshot and made sure to show the business's name and the date and timestamp of the post. I sent it to my caseworker right away and told her the whole story of what led up to that. She agreed that it was definitely evidence, but she had to follow protocol, which meant that she had to call the business, speak to the owner and ask directly if he was working there. She called that day. She called me back soon afterwards and told me that she spoke to the owner and that the owner told her that she does not know anyone by that name and that no, he does not work there. I knew this was a lie. I told my caseworker that and asked what she will do next. Will someone go down there and just go in and catch him working? Can someone go there and see his car out back and wait for him to come out? You know, investigate?? She informed me that there's nothing more that they can do. WHAT?????!!!!!! So.....  I called there & asked for him. The woman who answered the phone said, Who is this? I said, His girlfriend. She said, Hold on. She then came back about a minute later & said, No, he doesn't work here & I don't know him. Well, then why did you ask who I was & put me on hold? They have like, 3 people on staff. So, me & my son went down there (it was right down the road from our home!). The corvette was parked in back. They locked both doors & wouldn't let us in. So, we sat in our car and waited for over an hour, to try to get him on video leaving the business and getting into the corvette. He never left. We finally gave up and went home. Later that night, my son went out with his friends and drove by there and noticed that his car was gone. (Obviously my ex knew that we were waiting outside for a long time). THE FACT THAT THE CP HAS TO TAKE THESE MEASURES & TAKE MATTERS INTO THIER OWN HANDS IS COMPLETELY LUDICROUS!!!!! THE SYSTEM NEEDS TO CHANGE!!!!! At that time, he owed over 10K and he also knew that we were facing eviction (I had major medical issues and we had lost our health insurance). That night, I posted about the situation on social media. I didn't threaten anyone. I didn't use lewd language. I didn't lie. I stated only facts and I didn't ask anyone to do any harm to anyone. What I DID DO, WAS IMPLORE MY SMALL COMMUITY FOR HELP. I asked that if anyone goes to that business, and sees my ex working there, to please send me photos. Guess what?? I had friends and even complete strangers sending me pics of him working there and also his car parked out back all day, every day and pics of him out back washing his car on his break!!! I sent these to my caseworker. No dice. She told me that she still couldn't do anything. WHAT????!!!!!!! UNBELIEVABLE. Also, after I posted that, the owner of the establishment was calling me a liar and crazy on social media.... Well, exactly one week from the day that me and my son went down there, I had to take my son to drop off something for his school sport at a parent's house in town. They live right around the corner from the business, so we drove by. It was evening. As we were pulling down the street, we saw my ex locking up the back door for the night with a handful of work related things! I slowed down and my son started recording. I DID NOT pull into the parking lot. The street is a very quiet street at night, so I just came to a stop and rolled down my window. I said, "Hey! Locking up for the night, eh? You're always here! Volunteering, right??" He looked up briefly, but not long enough to notice that my son was recording. My ex says, "This is my job, dumbass!!" I said, "Yea, I know!! Meanwhile, your boss is calling me a liar and crazy!" My son recorded as he locked up the door and walked to his car and unloaded the items. We left right after that. WELL, THERE YA GO! A VIDEO WITH PROOF AND IT INCLUDES AN ADMISSION! I wound up posting the video online because at this point, now I need to clear MY NAME!!! (The owner actually went on and on, on social media and was bashing me, calling me names, brought up my child, and put me down for facing an eviction!!!!!) I also sent the video to my caseworker that night. (Keep in mind, I have ALL OF THE EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE with my caseworker). Well, she was PRETTY ANGRY THAT SHE WAS LIED TO. I would think that's breaking the law, right? She's a state worker and that is a court order. And also, she was paying him cash. That's also against the law. Anyway, THE VIDEO GOT ME A TRIAL. FINALLY!!! That was the July 2024 trial that I spoke about in my petition, which did NOT go as planned. SO, HERE IS WHERE IT GETS EVEN WORSE. THE DAY AFTER I TOOK THE VIDEO, MY EX HAD ME SERVED WITH A TRO (TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER). He states on the TRO that the reason for the TRO is because I "SHOWED UP AT THE PLAINTIFF'S PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT" and that the "PLAINTIFF FEARS THAT HE WILL LOSE HIS LIVELIHOOD"..... Ummm... YOU REALLY CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP. THIS IS THE KIND OF PERSON THAT I AM DEALING WITH. AND THESE ARE THE TYPES OF STORIES THAT I CAN TELL. THIS TRO WAS USED AS EVIDENCE AT THE CHILD SUPPORT TRIAL, ALONG WITH THE VIDEO AND THE FB PICTURE FROM THE BUSINESS PAGE, DATED MARCH 5TH.
***** THE TRO WAS OFCOURSE, DISMISSED. 
BUT, HE MADE ME GO TO THREE COURT APPEARANCES. AT THE FIRST APPEARANCE, WHEN IT FINALLY WAS OUR TURN TO GO IN FRONT OF THE JUDGE, MY EX ASKED FOR AN ADJOURNEMENT SO THAT HE COULD "AMEND" THE TRO. THAT MEANS, TO ADD MORE INFORMATION TO IT.
WHAT?!!!!!!!!! WHAT OTHER INFORMATION???? ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? 
THE JUDGE OBLIGED.
WHAT HE ADDED WAS COMPLETLY RIDICULOUS.
AT OUR SECOND APPEARANCE, HE ASKED THE JUDGE FOR AN ADJOURNMENT BECAUSE HE WANTED TO HIRE A LAWYER.
THE JUDGE OBLIGED.
WHAT???!!!!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS???? AND WITH WHAT MONEY??? YOU CAN'T EVEN PAY CHILD SUPPORT!!!!!
HE NEVER EVEN HIRED A LAWYER.
AT OUR THIRD APPEARANCE....
WE HAD A DIFFERENT JUDGE. 
THANK GOD!!!!! AND THIS GUY WASN'T PLAYIN. MY EX WAS LATE, DISHEVELED AND WAS ASKING NONSENSICAL QUESTIONS...
JUST FOR THE RECORD, I KNEW THIS WAS A SLAMDUNK FOR ME. I JUST NEEDED TO BE HEARD!!!!!!
SO, AFTER MY EX TELLS HIS SIDE... (THE JUDGE COULD SEE ME SILENTLY LOSING MY MIND)...
I WENT THROUGH THE WHOLE STORY AND SHOWED HIM ALL OF THE 'RECEIPTS'. THE EMAILS WITH MY CASEWORKER, THE CHILD SUPPORT PAYMENT HISTORY (OR LACK THEREOF), THE VIDEO, THE FB BUSINESS PAGE PIC OF HIM.... BUT THE REAL KICKER WAS THE TRO ITSELF!!!! HE ADMITS THAT HE WORKS THERE!!!
CASE DISMISSED.
HERE'S THE THING.
ME AND MY SON WERE GOING THROUGH AN EVICTION DURING THIS TIME. I HAD BEEN PACKING, AND I WAS DISTRAUGHT, BEYOND STRESSED.... I
REALLY NEEDED THE CHILD SUPPORT!!!!!
I REALLY DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME FOR THIS ADDED STRESS AND NONSENSE!!!!
THE THREE COURT DAYS.... THE TIME IT TOOK TO GATHER ALL OF MY EVIDENCE, PREPARE, THE GAS MONEY, THE PARKING METERS.... ITS UNREAL.

ARE YOU READY FOR MORE?
I WAS THEN SERVED WITH COURT PAPERS FROM THE OWNER OF THE BUSINESS!!!!
FOR 'ONLINE HARRASMENT'...
NO, IT WAS NOT HARRASSMENT, AS I STATED ABOVE!!!!
ALTHOUGH, HER ONLINE RESPONSES TO ME WERE HARRASSMENT!!!!
THIS CASE IS STILL ONGOING!!!! THIS WOMAN WITHELD ROUGHLY $3,000.00 IN CHILD SUPPORT DURING THAT TIME!!!!
DURING THAT CRUCIAL TIME!!!!
AFTER THE VIDEO THAT I GOT OF MY EX, MY CASEWORKER SENT **ANOTHER LETTER* TO THE OWNER FOR GARNISHMENT, AND STATED THAT SHE WAS AWARE OF THE PHOTO AND VIDEO....
WE WOUND UP GETTING ONE CHILD SUPPORT PAYMENT OUT OF THE FIRST REAL PAYCHECK ON THE BOOKS...
AND THEN SHE FIRED HIM. IF THIS WOMAN DIDN'T BREAK THE LAW, I WOULDNT HAVE HAD TO IMPLORE MY COMMUNITY FOR HELP. (AND IF NJ CHILD SUPPORT WOULD DO THIER JOB).
COURT KEEPS GETTING POSTPONED. OUR NEXT DATE IS IN SEPTEMBER. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT SHE HAS NOT DONE THE RIGHT THING AND DROPPED THE 'CHARGES'.
OH, AND P.S. SHE WAS NAMED IN THE COURT ORDER FROM OUR CHILD SUPPORT TRIAL. IT STATES, "THE COURT HEREBY COMPELS [BUSINESS NAME] IN [TOWN, STATE] TO PROVIDE INCOME/PAY HISTORY AND DATE OF TERMINATION OF THE NCP [HIS NAME] TO MORRIS PROBATION WITHIN 20 DAYS. MORRIS PROBATION SHALL PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION TO THE COURT." THAT WAS ON 7/25/2024. ONE YEAR AGO.
AND..... NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WITH THAT AND EVIDENTLY, I'M NOT ALLOWED TO ASK. 

FANTASTIC. 
WELL, THERE YA GO... LOVELY STORY, RIGHT?

ALL OF THAT.... AND STILL NO ARREST FOR MY EX.
ON THIS DAY, HE OWES $5,000.00 MORE THAN HE DID ON THAT COURT DATE- 7/25/2024.
AND I GET TO STILL LOOK FORWARD TO ANOTHER COURT DATE. WHERE I'M THE BAD GUY AGAIN.

PLEASE KEEP SHARING MY PETITION. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU.
