My ex lives far away and owes me money… what do I do?

She’s blocked me on everything. I’ve tried emailing her, contacting her sisters, and even sent her texts. No response in months.

Sorry to say, but it’s not worth it. Even if you win in court, collecting from her will be a nightmare. Just treat yourself to a nice meal for being a good guy, then move on and forget about it.

I’d say cut your losses and move on. $1600 hurts, but at least you’re not stuck co-parenting with her.

Make sure to check if her state honors judgments from yours. I got a judgment against my ex, but he moved to a state that wouldn’t honor it, and I lost $4,000.

Did you know her in real life?

Happy cake day by the way!

Send her another $400 and call it an even $2k loss lol.

This seems more like trying to get back at your ex than actually recovering the money. Next time, get the money upfront if that’s how you want to manage things.
