Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.
ex-spouse relocating with children. I've been dealing with this for about 8 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
I have already done some research online but got conflicting advice.
Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?
I went through almost the exact same thing.
I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.
Unpopular opinion: sometimes it's not worth litigating, even if you're in the right. If the disputed amount is $500 and attorney fees would be $3,000, consider whether the principle is worth the cost. Write-off the loss and learn from it.
