Phoenix1 - no he pays me direct deposit to my checking from his payroll.
Ratpicker - I hope so. This afternoon I got a text from him apologizing for hanging up on me. Like I cared - no response from me on that.
gmc94 - we had a mediated divorce so no attorney for either of us. That said, I have the name of someone who can help me out if necessary - I updated her (the attorney). Her take was if he stopped paying or reducing payment on his own, his wages would be garnished rather quickly. Not sure what "rather quickly" means but it eased my mind a bit. Followup on that is needed. She said she's a phone call away if things go off the rails and she can move immediately. I'll look into registering my judgement in my new home state. That's great advice.
Oddly enough when it comes to the "law" he's a rule follower - not so much with marriage vows. I don't think he'd just stop paying but then again I never thought I'd be in this situation to begin with. He's almost 60 years old and has zero ability to budget his money. Guess he must miss me a little in that regard as I always handled the finances.

Contact your state's Dept of Family Services (or whatever it's called in your state) and look into having them collect the CS (and possibly alimony). As long as you have a court signed agreement, they'll go get it for you.
Definitely worth the $25/year it costs (it's a cost set by Fed law) to not have to deal with them and their bullshit.
