$30,000.00 per month and no child support!!

I am the grandmother of two little boys, ages 3 and 6.

Their father, Michael Martinez of Temecula, CA is a member of the Pechanga Indian Tribe. The Pechanga Tribe has a casino, and each registered member of the tribe receives $30,000.00 per month. This money comes from revenues from the casino, and is simply given to the members, they do not work to earn a penny.

So here is this guy, Michael Martinez raking in $30,000.00 per month to do nothing but sit at home, take trips, live the high-life, drive expensive cars. Meanwhile he has not payed a dime of child support since July 2006. His children are now supported by the welfare system, and the one and only reason that his children and ex (my daughter) are not homeless is because me and my husband, Grandpa and Grandma, have them living in our house. Michael Martinez does not care about his children, it is all about money for this guy. He has tried to take custody on more than one occasion and is in fact attempting to take custody once again. If he could get custody, then he would not have a court order to pay support. Michael, never checks on his children's health, schooling, nothing. He does not care that there are times when his children can not get hair cuts when dearly needed, are in need of clothing. He only cares about the money that he does not want to cut loose with. Michale is facing 29 counts of contempt of court for non-payment of child support, but even this has not caused him to pay up. He knows that because he is Indian his wages can not be attached and he thinks that is funny. As a matter of fact I have never known him to pay his bills, because he cannot be attached. Naturally his credit is very poor. But who cares about credit when you can simply walk into a car dealership with $10,000.00 in your hand, they'll give you a car. They do it for him all of the time.

I have written to the L.A. Times, the Riverside Press Enterprise, my state senator. None of them are willing to touch this subject. Why? Because the state of CA ranks in millions of dollars per year from the gambling revenues and is not about to risk losing a penny of the money.
It makes me sick that this guy is given so much money to sit on his ass, and his children live in poverty.
