More Monserrate
« on: February 14, 2011, 09:41:18 PM »
This guy never goes away!

From the Daily News:

Hiram Monserrate is so deep in debt he wants to stiff his autistic son and ex-wife on child support, the Daily News has learned.

The disgraced ex-pol - who can't even cover his legal bills - has asked Manhattan Family Court to "modify" his monthly payments to his 14-year-old kid, his former wife said.

"He's trying to use his son's child support to write off his other debts," Janet Monserrate, 40, said Wednesday. "He has no attachment to anyone; he only cares about his ego."

Monserrate, 43, pleaded poverty last month to Family Court Magistrate Karen Kolomechuk, stating that his sole income has been a $26,000 police pension since he was kicked out of the state Senate after his misdemeanor conviction for assaulting his girlfriend, Karla Giraldo.

He also claimed a bad back has kept him from finding work.

Kolomechuk initially denied the ex-cop's request. But then she agreed to consider it at a hearing this month, asking Monserrate to bring tax forms, medical proof of his injury and other paperwork in support of lowered payments.

Currently, Monserrate pays $1,100 a month in child support.

His ex-wife said if his payment modification request is granted, the new child support based on his pension would drop to about $400 a month.

"He's not looking for employment," Janet Monserrate said.

"This is a man who cares mainly about what people think. He won't work in a Home Depot, he won't work at a supermarket, he won't work two, three jobs to pay child support."

Speaking of the rat....Wasn't he one of the brains behind the free parking on sunday? I gotta tell ya, its almost impossible to find a spot on 37ave on Sundays. People park their cars there on sat, and that's it until Monday. I'm sure the businesses on the Ave aren't to happy about it. Forget about "Paying to pray", what about not being able to park to shop. What a stupid idea that was....

Perhaps this indeed is a private matter, especially because he is no longer a representative of our community.

Divorces and modifications of child support get really ugly and do we really have idle time to get involved in this one. I don't think so.

And no, I am not a Monserrate supporter.  Thank you!

Best,

i'd say we have something of an interest remaining because (cough) mr. (cough) monster rat is still sucking money out of our pockets -- by having us pay for his lawyers with our tax money. until he starts pulling his own weight, he owes me an explanation for every cent he spends -- and i don't want him buying two-ply toilet paper when one ply is that much cheaper.
