Laura Walsh argues her ex-husband owes more than $100,000, a number the congressman disputes. But Vega’s ruling means that the burden is now on the congressman to prove that he doesn’t owe the money, attorneys for both Walshes agree.
Laura Walsh has gone into court on numerous occasions since filing for divorce in 2002, seeking court orders to have her ex-husband meet his court-ordered child-support obligations.
She says her ex-husband started making half-payments years ago and then completely stopped sending any money. He claimed he was broke, she said.

“Well, he’s no different than anyone else,” the judge replied. "
Well stated, your honor. He absolutely is no different. This creep has no business in the congress and belongs in the courtroom.
