Child Support Nightmare!

Tomorrow I have to make the 4 1/2 - 5 hours drive to my parent's house in Texas. I have to go face my ex-husband in court on Friday because he is $60,000.00 behind in child support. I have not seen him in years......we've both moved on and have remarried & had kids. What I don't understand about the system is this..........Why waste my time, his time & everyone else's time by hauling us into court? We ALL know he's not gonna be able to pay this large amount.....it's been 13 yrs. since he agreed to the child support order......do I even care if I get any money from him??? NO!!! I don't want his money, I don't need his money & I personally don't want to look at his smug face on Friday!!! The court papers say that if he doesn't come to court he will be arrested for contempt.........if he shows up & cannot pay, he goes to jail........my question is........what does putting him in jail accomplish????????? It does nothing for me or my child (who by the way.....HAS a REAL daddy)! The MAN that has raised her from the time she was 1 1/2 yrs. old, fed her, clothed her & LOVED her!!!!!! He would give his life for her!!!! I don't want or need anything my ex has. I had the case closed but the attorney general re-opened it. It's out of my hands now!
