Bank and credit card frozen, license taken, passport flagged. Canada seems like a crazy place for fathers.

She explained that she’d contact the FMEP (Family Maintenance Enforcement Program) and tell them that I’m no longer required to pay child support.

A few months later, I received a letter from the FMEP that told me how late I was with a bunch of payments. It carefully listed the interest I’d built up and the punishments that were coming if I didn’t make immediate payments. I emailed my ex and told her about the letter. She seemed surprised and said not to worry about it as she’d contact them and clear it up.

Do not trust your ex-wife.

Yeah, this whole mess could have been avoided if he simply called the government agency himself instead of relying on his admittedly psychotic ex-wife.

Tarol is a nice guy and makes a great comic but he's kind of dumb. Canada is much better than the states in most cases. If you ignore a problem long enough you're bound to get yourself in a lot of trouble.

Nice misleading title. Guy whose ex walks all over him blindly trusts her after 3 separate government communications about child support, without even making a phone call to see what the mix-up is? And after it's all said and done, the courts get it right... how is any of that the fault of the system, as your title reflects?

I wonder if he could have submitted those emails with her as evidence...

Couldn't she also get into trouble for filing false affidavits? (Not sure how Canadian laws work).

I look forward to a time when women are treated equally to men. sigh

Sounds like a huge wad of hyperbole to me.

Canada already sucks, I don't know why you'd want to live there

You know, in the old days we'd just kill a bitch. Largest forest in the world, and you have no place to dump a body?
