My ex has been on probation for 5 years. He doesn't regularly pay his child support. Is that against his probation?

Sure the hell is .do you have a court order? let his P.O know if he is not living up to it get help from family services ,he should be getting"hits"which should sent his ass to jail or prison which is where he belongs if he wouldn't take care of his kids.

I would call child support enforcement and have them look into it..sounds fishy to me.

You may not be able to, but the court can.  Is he under court order to pay child support?  Ask an attorney to follow up.\n\nI wish you Peace.

It would seem to me that if the child is not yet the age of majority and still attending school(all though its consider \n"adult ed") and still living with you..the child support should continue.\n\nYour ex..could petition the court to have the child support cease, if the child is not living with you and/or if the child is not attending school.

I did the same thing with my ex husband.  It cost much less than a lawyer and you can apply with the Attorney General for free to get the Child support and custody resolved.  Lawyers are all about the money.

Juvenile/Domestic Relation Law varies from state to state in the U.S.  I know in Virginia "they" (the court system) attempt other remedies first - after all, if you are in jail, it does the children (the only consideration as far as the court is concerned) NO good.  It also costs the taxpayers money to keep you there, and, it potentially costs the taxpayers more if they have to subsidize your childrens support.  Most likely, if you are in fact liable for support (back support or otherwise), the system will attempt to garnish your wages first, place a lein on any bank accounts in your name, and intercept tax refunds and the like.  Also, if you did happen to end up in jail - at least in Virginia - the 'tab' keeps running!  Your best bet, again, if you do owe, is to begin paying, a-absolutely-s-a-p, and keep (SECURE!) ALL receipts of your payments, AND TAKE THEM WITH YOU TO COURT!!!  Also, if you have to appear in court, BE RESPECTFUL, to your ex as well as the judge (well, you should respect the mother of your children in any event, it IS in the BEST INTEREST of YOUR CHILDREN).  Best of luck! - g

Trust me it happens everywhere. I live in Australia same thing here. My daughter went to court for a few reasons, child support being one of them. She had two children to this moron who wouldn't work, she pretty much supported him, he was abusive so when she finally plucked up enough courage to leave he got himself a job, cash in hand ofcourse went to court and claimed he was only living on the dole.Even though she had proof of him working the judge didn't want to know about it. He was ordered to pay her  $20 a month for two kids and he has never even paid that. Trust me the judicial system sucks everywhere not just Rock county. Perhaps if all the mums who have been wronged by the system got together they may be able to change things. We can all live in hope  I guess. It's just not fair, after all it's the poor innocent kids that suffer. Best of luck  K  x

I most cases this depends on a few things ( the state you live in, your judge, age of your child, date of when he filed for vists) I know in Michigan the father is responable for all of this. My ex has to pay for everything when our son was born.

Man, I just went through this! If her bio. father pays child support, then yes he must be contacted to sign away his rights even if she has NEVER laid her eyes on him. If he doesn't pay or contribute in any way, when your child has gone without ANY paternal support for 5 consecutive years, then all you have to do is run it in the classified ads in your town for 4 weeks. The newspaper will give you an affidavit and you will have to sign one stating that you have not received any support from her bio. father. After that point, it is pretty smooth sailing. Hopefully you won't get an A-hole for a judge like I did... the same judge that ordered my son's father to only pay $96 a month for support <--- Please try to hold your laughter until the end of the paragraph. Thank you.

If he is not willing to help pay, tell him to get out of YOUR house. Go see a lawyer and see what you can do to get the house in your name only. Obviously you are able to pay on your own because you have done it for 5 years.

Sorry buddy but you will have to pay it all.  It does not matter how old you child is now. Or even if the new dad is claiming him. All a judge is going to see is that you owe. Just because they may not need the money now they needed it then and did not get it. I know it was hard. It is for most fathers and mothers who have to pay. You can try. But I don't think its gonna go through.

So why would you do that...he probably owes you a lot of child support.

You are going to have to set some rules. He is going to be in your life, on a limited basis, for years to come because of the children, but you need to set a few things straight. One, he MUST pay child support. Two. When it's his visitation, he picks the children up, and brings them back. Don't let him run over you on this. Stand your ground! He can pay a visit to the jail house.....then he WILL obey the rules. Good Luck!!

If you are legally married,you are entitled to half of his possessions, that is if you did not signed a Prenup. You can even get money for the time you have been separated, that is alimomy.Also the court will obligate the person to pay fully the amount owed for child sopport That is, The time that he never paid). It doesnt matter if you have not been together, legally you are his wife .

You need to get a lawyer, go back to court, and re-negotiate  the terms of his child support. If he refuses to pay, he can go to jail. You're beig too soft on him. It's HIS child too! At  the least, he should drive to Mississippi every other time to get his child. He is using you like a dirty dish towel.....don't allow him to continue doing it! Take his butt back to court..make him step up to the pump, and be a Dad! He won't do it unless you make him though. Good Luck!!.

It seems like you have a lot of anger toward your ex-... I hope that you are taking steps to move on with your life, and are not letting his actions (or inactions) control your emotions.\n\nThat said... If you know where your ex-husband currently is, and you know that he has an arrest warrant, you can contact the police/sheriff's department that has jurisdiction over that area and ask them to serve the warrant.  \n\nDepending on the warrant, he may either be taken into custody immediatly or be given a summons to appear in court.  Although it sounds silly, sometimes a person has to fail to appear several times before they get arrested.\n\n"Probation" departments are usually run through the county government.  Look in the phone book for the county where your husband was convicted and call their probation department.  Normally, probation is given to people who committ misdemeanor crimes in lieu of jail time.\n\n"Parole" departments are usually run though the state government.  They also should be listed in the government pages of your phone book.  Parole is much different - it applies to felons who have recently been released from prison.  Parolees typically have far fewer rights than probationers.\n\nThe best the parole or probation offices are going to do is "violate" his probation or parole and issue an arrest warrant.  They may or may not actively go out looking for him.  They may or may not inform the local law enforcement agency that he has a warrant.  You may want to do this yourself.

Some states do all their enforcement adminstratively....so it depends on your state.  In my state we do obtain court orders to pay, but if the payer falls behind they administratively ADD an arrears payment without notifying either party.  So yes, it can be done.   There are some cases where CSAs allow the payer to pay without garnishing his wages, but again--if he fails to pay or falls behind--they will immediately send out the income withholding to the employer.  Please don't assume it was at your ex's request.  Agencies are under a lot of pressure to keep payers current or they lose 'federal incentives' to their respective agencies.  She very well may have been unaware of the enforcement action taken by child support. Check your state laws regarding child support at:\n\nhttp://www.acf.dhhs.gov/programs/cse/extinf.htm
