Kat's Corner
Formerly known as "Deadbeat Dad"
On September 24, 2003 I came home from yet another frustrating day wasted in the family courts. Wasted because once again I had spent my morning waiting for a hearing that wasn't going to happen because my son's father had failed to appear.
In the middle of dealing with chemo and radiation treatments this was just way  more aggravation that I really just did not need in my life.

That frustration led me to first post my
Deadbeat Dad page. I hoped that some where out in the vastness of the internet someone might find it and be able to help me. I am not sure if I actually believed that it would actually worked but it helped me to vent some of that frustration because I felt like at least I was doing something.

The good news of course is that it actually did work.

In May of 2005 an order of support was finally obtained and in September 2005, almost exactally two years after posting this page the first support check showed up in my mailbox.

That check would not have been possible without the help of a couple of very wonderful people. Cora and her son Jeremy found my page and made contact with me. Thanks to them I was able to get every bit of information that I needed to track down Roger Guild.

I cannot thank you enough Cora, you have been a great friend to me during this. I'm just so very sorry that you have also been hurt by this person (I'm sorry I can't bring myself to call him a man).

I'd also like to publically thank Patricia my Ohio case worker for her patience and hard work to get this case taken care of. I can only imagine how many cases she has to deal with.
My final thanks goes out to Rose Harris, the customer service supervisior at the Arkansas child support agency. She is a shining star in an agency full of what I can only describe as incompetence.

My current favorite quote:

I used to Rock and Roll all night and party every day. Then it was every other day. Now I'm lucky if I can find half an hour a week in which to get funky.
