Got a phone call from Bugs just now.
Apparently, Daddy talked the children's services people into letting him give them a check each month (they are willing to take it in four payments, even), and they in turn will pay Bugs once a month, after they have received all of Daddy's payments.
He is claiming he is working as a sub contractor for the guy he's been working for for the past 3 years, and is thus self employed. His boss owns a cabinet making business.
I know that the first year or so he was paid 'under the table'. Never felt the need to file his taxes for that year.
Last year however, they started paying him with paychecks and withholding income tax (not state tax though). I did Daddy's taxes on the computer with Turbo Tax. Daddy ended up owing uncle Sam and the state of Georgia about $800 for 2007, money he doesn't have, so he decided to ignore the whole thing and he never mailed his forms.
It also came to my attention that Daddy's boss would ask Daddy to cash checks for him on a regular basis. After a while Daddy stopped doing that, because he felt 'funny' about that, so his boss had other employees cashing checks for him.
This boss is doing some flaky business in my opinion. Possibly tax evasion.
And here I sit, worrying about it.
Bugs will get her child support, no doubt about that. But it really pisses me off how some folks just squirm themselves out of trouble.
Would it be wise for me to stay out of this mess? Or am I supposed to be a good citizen and report this boss fellow?
What do you think?

Wheelchair guy sounds like the man to do the job for Wheelie. I hope he's a real pitbull when it comes to fighting for payments. We had good response from Medicare. [shrug] I'll cross my fingers for you all and Medicaid.
