Complicated "What if" Scenario
This may sound completely crazy but I have reason to believe my ex is plotting to "disappear" in the near future. He is the sole custodian of our two children and I'm paying maximum CS on wage withholdings.
I don't want to say how I arrived at this conclusion but have discussed it with several friends, including a local police officer and they too believe my discoveries point to suspicion. Unfortunately, as a stand-alone, it is not enough "evidence" for me to take action now.
Let's just assume ex follows through with the plan and walks away from everything; his kids, house (in foreclosure), contents, and car. The kids could hang out in the house until they're evicted and I'd never know their dad was gone; not until the kids finally confessed that he was gone and they had nowhere else to go.
Obviously, this would present a substantial change in circumstances to which I could file for emergency custody. However, that would not stop child support from being garnished from my payroll because Dad would need to be served in order to modify custody.
How long would dad need to be "missing" before I would be able to get a modification?
