Contact the court that issues the order.  If you are broke, you can fill our a form claiming poverty (it called "in forma pauperis") and you can file your court papers for free.\n\nYou file a petition with the court requesting enforcement of the spousal support order.  You can go to court and the judge can take actions to enforce the spousal support order just like a child support order.  This included garnishment of wages and jail, if necessary.

The support he pays to her or the court is not payable to you as a minor. She decides how and when to use it. You have the legal right to file a suit as an individual but I think it would be hard to find an attorney to represent you because for one if you loose he can't come against you for payment since you are a minor. Your best bet is to think this out and perhaps in time things will get better. You should talk to social services legal office in your area for advice, this gives all notice of your thoughts and perhaps they may intervene for you.

Heres the thing man, I went through it to. There is nothing you can do; in respects to what she does with the money.  She does not have to provide and accounting to anyone of how she spends her child support check.  All she has to do is provide a home evironment for the child/children, you know feed and cloth them, get them to school ext.  If she is neglecting the children and you can prove it then call CPS or hire and attorney to take her back to court and win custody.   But before you do that, put yourself in the judges or a third parties shoes, how do you think others are going to see you case when you present what you have.  Most often emotions come in to play.  Good Luck

He needs to go to court and seek custody or he will have to pay the child support.  Buying diapers is not considered support by any court.  He doesn't have a say on how the money is spent unless the child is not being properly cared for.  If he doesn't pay the support he will have his wages garnished.  He can also go to jail.  Seems stupid to risk this because of petty jealousy.  This is a good reason why people should be married before having children.  It's a lot less trouble.

Well there's always legal aid.  If you have proof that he cheated, or if he admits, since its his fault the marriage failed you should get alimony.  And no matter what, if you get the kids, he'll pay child support no matter what the situation

I think if he has been ordered to pay child support some type of parternity must have been established.  He can go to court and stop you from moving out of state.  I would contact an attorney and talk them about this.  Good luck!

I live in Kansas and my sister is a legal secretary. She says that for alimony or child support spouses income is their income and is not included in the worksheet. Man that SUCKS that your husband has to pay alimony. I hate alimony and would never ever dream of asking for it. Child support yes depending on the circumstances and how often daddy has the kids. But alimony, my god she's a grown freakin woman capable of getting a job right? GRRR that just eerks me.

Tell her to immediately get on the phone and report that information to child support enforcement without delay!! Also make sure she doesn't mention that she is interested in finding out if the support cvan be garnished from it to the child's father because he may try to hide it or be more secretive. Tell her prior to calling try to find out from him who the insurance compnay is that he sued, that way when she contacts enforcement they will know what insurance agency to contact to put a garnish on it. I know it can be done, because my ex husband was hit by a car as a pedestrian and he was warded money. They took it and because he has such a history of not paying they even took out a year's worth of ADVANCE payments. Hopefully there is still some time before the insurance company pays to allow for enforcement to contact the insurance agency and to allow for them to get the petition to granish over to a judge to get signed. She needs to take advantage of this quickly before he gets that check and cashes it and it's too late for her to lay claim. If for some reason your state doesn't allow support to be garnished from a settlement, which I don't see why not, then she needs to make sure once she knows he has endorsed that check that she stays on enforcement's back of pursuing him to comply with child support...I'm sure if they don't garnish his check, once he cashes it and he has a choice of jail or paying a 5th of his check to support, he'll choose to pay.

In years of being unemployed, under employed and overwhelmed, I never missed a payment, but I certainly kknow how that felt for me. \nI am not done yet...but my father never paid child support.\nMatter of fact I only saw him 3 or 4 times growing up. \n\nI think as a matter of course in doing what is right, you can hold your head up, even if it is tough going.  I will tell you I honor and respect you for taking the extra effort to do this, even if it is not fair.\n\nNot all fathers are like you.  I do wish you luck.

Child support and visitation are two totally seperate issues.  He has a legal obligation to support his children.  Your mother has no legal grounds to prevent him seeing his children due to non payment of child support.  Your mother should retain an attorney or find legal aid in your area to bring charges on your father to force him to pay.  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 .

What does your court order say? Has he paid you child support? You can try and claim her but it may get rejected you can fight it threw the IRS. My ex hasn't paid child support for almost 5 years and he still claims our son. I called the IRS and they said as long as I had a Court order I could fight it.

No, she will still get child support.   I just got married and have two step-sons now.   The father is still required to pay his child support.

Explain nothing to your son until you have sought advice from your attorney.\nHe is too little to understand what's going on and doesn't need to be but in the middle\nKids usually cope better in these situation then the adults do\nYour ex has never paid child support and would have to prove he his able to care for a child he doesn't even know let him spend the money with a lawyer to find out. Maybe when he knows he is responsible for all the back payments he might decide not to see the child

You need to file a Motion requesting a reduction of Child Support. You need to do it sooner than later, because the Courts only cut you slack, from the day you file, not for back pay. Then they come up with an affordable payment plan that works within your budget.
