My ex used to pay me $600.00 per month and did for two years.  Then I found a mate and we became serious and we moved in together.  Since then, three years, he has not paid a dime of child support. He hired a lawyer, I could not because I cannot afford to.  They based the figure on him having our daughter 47% of the year.  He lives in Alaska and I live in Tennessee!  They also went back to the day she was born at $200.00 per month making all the child support he paid previously a credit.  Now he has a credit of $23,000.   He is selling his house and planing to move down around here, but I am very angry about the child support and insurance.  He pays nothing! Does anyone know if the papers are from a court in Alaska, can I overturn them in Tennessee?

Child support orders should originate in the state where the custodial parent lives. If you took him to court originally in Tenessee he would have had to modify that court order in Tenessee, not Alaska. Then you can appeal the decision your state. You should not need a lawyer for this. If you had "good faith" support, where no court was involved, then he could have legally filed in Alaska which then requires you to appeal to the courts in his state. The arrearages should only have gone back to the time you seperated not to when the child was born unless you seperated then. The fact that the child lives with him 47% of the time is going to severly limit the amount of support you could get from him. Consider this...he could file for support from you for the time the child lives with him. All of the papers you recieved from the court concerning the decisions made should tell you where you need to appeal. If you do not already have legal custody of your daughter you should file for it.

Well the only support group I know is Alanon its also for people who use drugs, booze, but it's also there to help with other problems you have with in your family. \nAs far as the child support issue.. How many kids did they have together?? If it's only one it's only 17% of the gross if it's more then one then the % goes up accordingly to the # of kids. And she can't keep taking him back to court once it's been in front of the judge. Unless he's gotten a large settlement, raise of more then 3% over and above of what he was making. Also get a hold of Legal Aid they can give you some advice on the matter or send you in the right direction. Well if she receives food stamps, public aid etc then she really has no right to ask for more money unless he gets a letter stating that he needs to increase the child support and only by the order of the court, judge etc can that be done. She's giving you a bunch of BS. I've been through this with my X-HUSBAND and I've been paying him Child Support so I know what you're feeling. Been there done it.  I hope this has helped?? If there is any thing else please feel free to contact me at    mr_djman2006@yahoo.com    I'm Dawne Good Luck. \nP.S. Check out this web site I think it also might help you out. Later

Child support can not be set retroactively-so until she files--he owes her nothing.  Once she files-the court can set support back to the date of filing--but not prior to.  After that, if he does not pay 'through the system' then it can be considered 'a gift'.  He should be paying approx 34% of his gross income for 3 children.  Based on what he was earning when they split--she can figure approx what she SHOULD be getting.  I doubt he has 'overpaid' her.  Have her apply at her local child support agency.   You can look up CA guidelines for support here:\nhttp://www.acf.dhhs.gov/programs/cse/extinf.htm

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.

Call the state child support department. I live in Oregon. I had to file one claim for current child support and then file another claim for the years that have already passed.

I am not familiar with the Child Support Enforcement laws in Ohio, but apart from criminal solutions (which is what the prosecutor will be doing) you may look to some civil solutions.  You should look to modify your divorce/custody agreement to reflect our current situation.  I am not sure about your particular area, but if you dont have legal represetation at the current time you really need to get it.  As a victim of abuse, depending on your income level, you may be eligible for free representation from a Legal Services facility in your area. You should be able to find their number in the yellow pages or by running an internet search for "Legal Services" in your area. As for child support, it depends on whether he is simply not paying, or whether he is not working.  If he is to go to jail, this will provide the state with an opportunity to organize and hopefully enter a judgment whereby his wages can be garnished.  You really need to get legal representation if you do not have it already.

Which parent has custody?  These visitation rights sound horrible.  Also $250 for child support for 2 kids is a drop in the bucket.  What's up with that?  I hope this isn't something the court set up and if it is they need to go back to court and get it straightened out.  Are they just selfish?  Surely they (the parents) see what they're doing to these kids?

Ok, below are the links you will find helpful.  \n\nOne is for the NC child support calculator. You can enter your information and his information and it will tell you how much money you should get. I will warn you that as a student, you are considered under-employed, so they will impute a minimum amount of income on you.  Basically, they will come up with an amount that you should be earning for use in the calculator.  I am not 100% about the rules since you are a student, but most likely they will still impute minimum wage full time which is $210/wk or $840/month.\n\nAs for the insurance, medical bills, etc.  It depends on what has been ordered.  If he has a court order to provide the support, he has to.  If there is no order, he doesn't.  The child support calculator asks about payment of insurance premiums and accounts for that in the child support.  If he does not cover her, his child support is considered sufficient contribution, and he is not required to split medical costs with you unless ordered by the court.\n\nThe issue about him collecting the insurance checks, technically it is something you could take him to court for, but it would require copies of everything, and paying to go to court.  My suggestion would just be to take it as a lesson learned.\n\nThe issue about him not seeing her, etc. is basically a non-issue.  There is nothing you can do legally to force him to see her.  Its a waste of effort.  But I will tell you the same thing I was told and the same thing I advise everyone else to do, KEEP A JOURNAL.  Write down everything with regards to your daughter, child support, visitation, etc.  Keep track of every visit, every missed visit, every phone call, etc.  Also, get a file and keep all you receipts for clothing, school, medical bills,etc.  Any major purchases or expenditures for the child.  There will most likely arise a time as this continues, that the information and  records will be invaluable in court.  By keeping records you turn "hearsay" into fact, and you can show a record of everything that he has or hasn't done and when. Start NOW.\n\nIf you don't have these things (child support, insurance coverage, visitation) outlined in a court order, my suggestion is that you do so.  You can try to get a DSS attorney for free to work out the child support if you qualify, otherwise invest in a good lawyer and get everything taken care of right the first time.  You can go to family court yourself, but I have hear many judges get upset with parents for going to court without an atty.  The potential consequences of going to court alone and unprepared are detrimental.\n\nThe other link below is to the NC Child Support Guidelines.  You can read through those and see what the law is and how it handles different things with regard to child support.\n\nGood luck.

I have been in almost the same situation. my bf got his ex gf pregnant while we were on a short break. I went back to him and now the child is almost 3. The ex is CRAZY, wont leave us alone. We have to pay 127 a WEEK in child support, which we cant afford and havent been able to pay the whole 127 a week so my now husband will be going to jail fairly soon. To make matters worse the ex had another son 6 months ago, 10 days before my daughter was born. and is now claiming it is my husbands. SO all I can say IS LEAVE HIM. It will never end. You will be alot more happier without him. ' YOU DONT WANT DRAMA WITH HIS BABIES MAMA'.

He needs to get in contact with the child support agency that his is sending his money to.  And a lawyer,  if he has visitation rights.  Than he has the right to know where his child is and to see them.  The cops are just going to say that they can't do anything unless he has full custody.  Go to the court and talk to the judge that signed the visitation order.  They may be able to help know what he signed and what to do.  He should have never signed something that  he didn't completely understand.  I did that, and the people ended up getting full custody of my son and took off with him,  When they and their lawyers told me over and over that I was signing a temporary custody agreement.  Legal papers are so confusing even to very smart people.  Keep standing behind him and helping your man.  I commend you for being a real woman, and hold on to your hope and strength.  Because it may take time and money that you think that you don't have.  But every thing will work out for you.

Yeah, it may be a shady way of doing it, but if his child support is not coming out of his paycheck, I mean, if he goes and pays it, stop paying it.\n\nSave the money and put it away so that when you go to court you can pay it right away.  \n\nOnce his ex quits getting money, she will call the court and file papers.  He will get served to appear in court.  She will be required to show up too.  When he gets there, and the judge asks what is going on, he can tell the judge he was trying to find his kids.  He can tell him he has all the back money he owes, but that he had no other way to find his kids.\n\nThe judge may get a little mad, but technically if he has the ability to pay the money he owes, they won't do anything to him.\n\nAlso, if he has court ordered visitation every other weekend or whatever, and she never had that changed while your husband was going through depression, she is in contempt of court for not letting him see his kids.  But like you said, it would require a lawyer to find her.\n\nHere are some other ideas.  Try doing some google's for her or the kids.  (If I google my name it goes right to the website of where I work) Check for school web sites.  Does she have any family?  Do you have any idea what city or even what state she may be in?  \n\nAlso, you can mail a letter to her old address and at the bottom you put "Address correction requested."  Make sure your return address is on it and make sure you write the request big and bold and put some extra postage on the letter...I forget how much extra it costs.  If she left a forwarding address with the post office, they will put a sticker on the envelope with her forwarding address and mail it back to you. :-)\n\nThere are some less legal ways to go about it, such as if he has her SSN and birthdate he can try to obtain a copy of her credit report (like through the annual free credit report thing) and it will have her most recent address.  \n\nAnd you would be surprised how a little being nice can help you.  You or your fiance can try calling places she used to work.  Make up a story that sounds good, say you are with a charity or something and call her previous employer.  Say something like, "Hi, my name is So-and_so and I am with the American Red Cross.  I am trying to reach So-and-so"  They will say she no longer works there and you can ask if they know where you can reach her.  You will probably get farther than your fiance with this type of stuff because people will be more suspicious of him looking for a woman.\n\nOr try calling some of the children's old friends.  Or anyone you think might have contact with his ex or the kids.\n\nI am quite good at this type of stuff, feel free to e-mail me and I would be happy to help you.\n\nGood Luck.

If he cannot even send you child support, you shouldn't worry too much about him; getting a lawyer, paying court cost and harassing you over the new situation. If he does, you have the benefit because you have been raising your daughter from no help from him. I would ask him to sign over the rights to you as full guardianship and let him know he will not have to worry about back child support.\n\n* I may have misread: If he does pay the child support, he may be able to do this. Does he want to see the child often? Maybe you could soften him up with not having to pay anymore if he gives up his parental rights.

Go to the court house and file a order of petition. When i did mines it was free. But I heard they was s'pose to charge me $15.00. I was getting $13.99 a week!!! for child support and I went and took his azz back to court so I can get an increase. And it worked!!...

you should get a lawyer to file with the court a petition to stop child support  due to the fact that you are living together and plan to get married again, it should not be that expensive $150-$250.\nand would be well worth the time.

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.
