OK, ex currently owes me about $250 for his half of school and medical expenses incurred from December 2006-February 2007. He has been notified through his attorney, through email, and also by a certified letter that he refuses to pick up from the post office.
He and I split the cost of my sons textbooks from this past school year and I am now selling them back and will receive about $150. His part of this would be $75.
Would I be doing anything legally wrong if I keep his portion and subtract it from the $250 he already owes me, or do I have to turn over his portion of anything I collect for the books since we split the original cost of buying them?
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say no.
it is standard practice at companies if you are issued company property - for example a uniform - that is to be turned in upon termination of employment and you quit and don't turn it in for the company to deduct the cost of the uniform from your last check.
I imagine if you keep doing the certified mailings with documentation and then do a new certified mailing with documentation showing the current balance of what he owes you should be covered.
What judge is going to look at all the stuff you have presented here -
certified mailings with copies of what he owes
more certified copies of what he owes requesting payment again
more certified copies of what he owes requesting payment again
etc. and say you were supposed to write him a check for $75 when he owes you $250?
sounds like your dealings with him are just ridiculous. I see myself being here in a few months. My x hasn't paid anythign and I'm about to start asking for the stuff he's been supposed to be paying that I haven't asked for yet.
seeing how crazy yours can be makes me start dreading dealing with mine.
anyway, hang in there.
