Congrats to you! That's awesome. I had a similar incident many years ago. When my daughter lived with me, my ex was to pay $95 a week in child support. Well, he quit his job and evaded the child support enforcement agency for a few years. One day, in the mail, I got a check for $2625.00--it was my ex's tax refund. He filed his taxes and didn't know it, but since he owed me child support, all the money came to me for back child support. All I can tell you is to not give up. Also, keep in mind, that if your ex ever wins a lottery or wins a legal settlement, there's a good chance you may get what is owed to you. So, DO NOT close the case because you never know when he may get a windfall:)
