There is no place on a military installation that will get involved with a civil matter such as a child support order.  You need to hire a civilian attorney who is conversant with military law.  Child support court orders go through the servicemember's chain of command.  The command then gives the Servicemember the opportuntity to VOLUNTARILY  begin paying the child support.  If they do not, then they can forcefully make them do so.

If your mother received child support from the State in lieu of money from your dad, then she has nothing else coming and the State will go after him to recoup the monies they paid your mother.\n\nIf she received nothing, then it is a matter of the court and she (not you) must hire an attorney who is familiar with the procedures to go after him.

He should speak to the Citizens Advice Bureau. As far as I know, unless the house is in joint names or she can prove a significant financial contribution to the upkeep,  she is only entitled to maintenance for the child if they are not married.

The kids cannot drop the case or go after it themselves.  The mother supported them and she is due the money.  If the government supported them then he has to pay them.  My mom got her final child support payment from my father for my brother when he was in his late 20's.

Yes they can.  My father found out this the hard way after never paying his child support.  As a result until all of that past due support is paid up (plus interest) his SS check is being garnished.  He also has young daughter that they are hitting him for now until she gets out of school.

Marsh, with child support it goes strictly on his income. If he has lost some of his income since the order was first in effect he can ask for a lower amount. Yes, having a child in his home, as long as it is his, also counts for him. He will just have to talk to them and ask for a lower amount due to having a child now with you. It will not make a difference though if his income has went up.

Patricia--if you're disabled and raising two children (not your own?) you should apply for every service your county has to offer you--ie food stamps, medical assistance, care taker supplements or cash aid, if available in your state.  The state will be compelled to collect partial repayment from the father (and mother if these are not your children.)  You won't have to wait for a deadbeat to pay--the state sends you the aid and collects partial repayment.  Your child should also be eligible for benefits off your social security if you haven't been collecting that already.  After you've applied for EVERYTHING your eligible for THEN go to your child support office and give them any information you have on the children's father (and mother).  If you do have an order for support and he is only making partial payments he still owes you that money.  Agencies are reluctant to take people who are 'making an effort' back to court because it encourages those who REALLY are trying to quit.  If he is just gaming the system--demand your case be enforced and he be taken back to court and held in contempt.\n\nGood luck!

First let me say that I have it on both ends.  I collect child support, and I help my husband with the child support he has to pay.  Now in answer to your question, CHILD SUPPORT is just that.  You are paying that money to support that child.  The courts set an amount that is what should be paid.  Anything you give over that amount is considered a gift.  You are not obligated in any way to give more than that amount.  I do not ask my childrens father for another dime outside of what he is court ordered to provide.  The bottome line is this,  if you continue to cater to the person receiving the child support and give them more than what is ordered, they will think they are owed that and will continue to ask for more than the obligated amount.  My husband, as I stated, pays child support and his ex wife is always TRYING to be in his pockets.  She says the kids need this, she cant afford that.  Well he is paying his support and she is to use that money to provide for the kids needs, not hers.  So if she is blowing the CHILD SUPPORT money on herself then she is at fault.  Now if he wants to give the kids some extra money just because he wants to then that is fine.  But I will be damned if he give her money just because she says the kids need because he has already fulfilled that matter.

Well I believe you can...My mother was in the same situation as you...In the divorce papers it stated my father is to pay my mother for life...but he stopped....anyway she spoke to a lawyer and they told her if it was court ordered he has to...all she has to do is take the papers to the DA and it will all be taken care of... he will be surprised shortly...but I'm not to positive about retirement or SS, but I do know she is entitled to them...So if it was court ordered your should be able to get it...

You need to speak with either a child support enforcement officer of a lawyer.

Wow!  You are in for a battle.  Call the child support office first.  If they can't or won't help you, you'll probably have to get an attorney.   If you're really owed the money, don't let them keep it.   It CAN be done.   Good lluck

Contact a family law attorney...yes, you should be able to get the child support payments. The payment amount will probably be split between the two parents each of them being responsible for paying half to you. Keep in mind, that you take the chance of the mother trying to take the children away from you, so be ready for a custody "battle". It is a shame that your daughter hasn't willingly given you the support money she receives....you are after all giving her children stability, love, and a good life. \nGood Luck to you.

Yes she can.  I suggest she open a case with the local child support office; services are free, some may require an initial $25 application fee.  Her caseworker can then take many legal actions against the non-custodial parent.

yes here what has to happen the mother of the child would have to give you guardianship of child. here how you do you have to hire a attorney. what you do have the mother of child she has to sign over guard ship to the child to you. then the lawyer can write up guarder ship papers. Once that done you have guarder ship of the child you may have to go to court but it all what the best interest of the child. It be a court battle deciding what is best for the child either you get you the child or he/she might go in frostier care I just preparing you for the worse and hope for the best. I believe  you may be able to get a lawyer pro bro no I don't know or low cost.  One is legal aid but I don't who else you can call if you under a certain income but really if you don't have to go to court it only cost you 300.00 but we see until you daughter finished with he prison term.

In general child support is to take care of the child which includes rent water lights heat and food.Clothes and school supplies should be bought with it also,The parents that the child lives with should be providing this things them self,but if not then the child support would be used for it.I know when my husband does get child support for the kids we take them to get new clothes Cd's or what ever they want,we meet all of their needs and most of their wants.They always know when we get child support,and we let them split it and use it how they want.If you feel like you need to help out your step child if you can I would just buy what they need take them shopping or something but I wouldn't send extra money.

Contact and file a complaint with the attorney general in the county that ordered the support.\n\nIt will be collected from the parent who owes it no matter who they are.\n\nGood luck and God Bless
