I have been in a 6 year battle in the courts over child support with my ex wife. I use to make over $450k a year when married and then soon after we split my business which was tied to the housing market went under. I am now 57and find it impossible to get a job. The courts keep saying that I am a sophisticated business man and should have the capacity to earn a easy six figure income.
Their recent ruling is requiring me to pay ten of thousands in arrears that were accumulated when I lost my business and had no income and $3000 a month which I don't earn. I have only one child under 21.
I am concerned I will be in jail in 90 days in something doesn't occur. It all makes no sense. No job, no money, no assets but a demand from the courts that is impossible to meet.
If I go to jail I will never earn anymore than minimum wage after this...My ex has made sure through the courts that all retirement money, homes, cars etc...have been lost. I literally own nothing after having a 30 year career where I gave my ex wife everything.
I don't know what to do.....Any suggestions?
