If the other party is a douche, being a douche in return doesn't cancel their douchiness. It just makes you a douche, too. I won't call him a dead beat, but he absolutely is a douche in this situation.

Speaking from professional experience, unless the order is to pay directly, the courts did not record this payment. If the other party was such a hemorrhoid, I could envision them raising that issue, and demanding enforcement of the $800 debt remaining due.

They donated the money to a domestic abuse shelter.

He's a total piece of crap and I hope to one day meet him.

I was fully aware of what they did with the funds. I also refuse to consider him complete crap, as after all, he paid his debt, regardless of whether he was slighted by the other party in the past or not. I've seen far too many parents willing to accept a stay in jail over making a payment less than this for their kids. Some people are truly awful when it comes to being people.

Here's a fun thought exercise...

Let's say the dude dumped a trailer full of pennies on the doorstep of an abuse shelter. Is he a total piece of crap or a hero?

@If mom and daughter delivered their donation to the shelter in the same manner as he paid his support, do you want to meet them too?@
