So,
I will make it as short as possible. I met my ex at a young age online. He was Australian, I am from Michigan. Went to Australia, married had two kids. He sends me back to Michigan after baby #2 is born. Abandons me. I never saw him again. Filed for divorce (this is in 2005) and was granted divorce in 2006. I was told that since he was in Australia, it was my responsibility to get a private investigator to track him down so that we could get a support order. Well, needless to say, I did not have the means to do that. I took care of my kids and he dropped off the face of the earth. He calls me out of the blue back in 2007. He had moved to Buffalo NY and bought a house there. I asked him to please help me. He said no and didn't want to see the kids either. So I gave up. I have recently found out that he is working as an accountant in San Francisco, CA. He has a new family, house, a new life. It's not so much about the money as it is about doing what is right. I am married again to a wonderful man who loves my kids like his own and we have a comfortable life. I am just wanting to do the right thing. I am torn. Should I let him get away with this? Or do I file an order here in Arizona and get what I can for these boys. I also want to add that our youngest son (baby #2 with the Aussie) is full blown autistic and requires special care). My husband gives everything he has.........
