    I had a guy who was dipping his toes into sovcit stuff when I worked in child support. He owed his ex 6 figures and first he tried stuff like, “she told me she wants to forgive it, can you send me the paperwork she needs so I can give it to her?” When that didn’t work, he started asking things like when did he agree to our state having jurisdiction and since he never consented, the case was invalid. Then he asked for a form that was clearly made up but the name was classic sovcit magic spell nonsense. When I told him it didn’t exist and asked what he was trying to do, he stopped replying.

    When I left, he still hadn’t found the magic words. Pretty sure he’ll die owing that woman money. He wasn’t as bad as the mom veering into qanon who accused me of trafficking her children, though. It became real obvious, real fast how her ex and his family had permanent restraining orders.

      Just want to clarify - the sovcit dad and qanon mom were completely different cases, right? PLEASE tell me that the kids have at least one sane parent.

        Ha yes, and neither of them even lived in the same state as their kids, which was really for the best.

      That’s amazing. And there’s a whole Facebook group devoted to getting rid of child support debt run by sovcits.
