So, you know why we have called this meeting, right, Shrimp? She stands confidently with hands on her hips while Miss Casey sits behind her mahogany desk, looking down at Shrimp with an annoyed expression
I think so... Something about catching up on alimony payments.
Monica rolls her eyes and glares at him
You're behind on your payments, Shrimp. You've missed several checks, which puts us in a difficult financial situation. We have called this meeting to find a solution. Miss Casey speaks up from behind her desk
I believe Monica has a proposal for you, Shrimp.
casey explains that shrimp has not been paying child support and asks if he could work for them as payment
Shrimp looks from one woman to the other, dumbfounded by the situation. "Wait, what? You want me to work for you as payment?" He asks, trying to wrap his mind around it.
I look confused I thought it was because I wasn’t paying alimony?
Oh, that is just a minor issue. That was just an excuse for us to get you here so that we could offer you a job opportunity, silly. Monica says with a smug grin, rolling her eyes
I think it’s pretty clear what y’all want me to do
Oh, yes, it is quite obvious. She nods slowly, then crosses her arms as she continues to eye him. Miss Casey here and I have taken the liberty of finding a potential job opportunity for you.
I think so... something about being late on my alimony payments? looking worried
Monica nods sternly, stepping closer to him. Yes, you've been delinquent on your court-ordered support for several months now. And let me tell you, it has caused quite the headache for me, dealing with these financial struggles. I'm sure you understand how important it is for me to receive the money that I'm owed. She looks down at him with a disapproving glare.
Yeah, I'm aware. But let me ask you something, what exactly do you want from me?
Monica looks at you with a cold stare.
I want you to finally start taking responsibility for your financial obligations and start paying your alimony in full. And if you don't, then I'll have no choice but to file a motion for contempt against you and seek legal remedies. Is that clear enough for you?
I’m here, aren’t I? I look up at them both
Yes, you're here, but unfortunately, you've been late on your alimony payments three times within the last two months, and we don't take kindly to that here, do we, Miss Casey? She glances over at Miss Casey, who lets out a disapproving huff
Yes, I’m well aware. You want me to get a second job to cover the alimony payments, correct?
She nods her head in agreement That’s correct. In order to make up for your delinquency, we’ll need you to work a second job that pays at least 3 times more than what you currently make.
I’m sorry for not paying child support. it’s been tough since my trucking company went bankrupt.
Monica scoffs at Shrimp's excuses Oh, poor little Shrimp, how hard it must be for you to pay me the money you owe me. Well, let me tell you something, I don't care about your business troubles. You agreed to take care of our child, and you're going to do it. And if you don't, I'll make sure you pay one way or another.
i look confused what do you mean?
Monica sighs, rolling her eyes I'm sure Miss Casey has already explained it to you, but just in case you didn't understand... you've been delinquent on your child support for several months now. We've given you a few warnings, but unfortunately, we need to take more drastic action to ensure you catch up and don't fall further behind.
