Under the Child Support Enforcement Act of 1984, district attorneys (D.A.s) or state's attorneys must help you collect child support owed by your ex. Sometimes this means that the D.A. will serve your ex with papers requiring him or her to meet with the D.A. to arrange a payment schedule. These papers usually say that, if the ex refuses to meet or pay, he or she could go to jail.

They're not saying it's child support. You obviously agreed to the alimony payments in the divorce decree, and you are liable for them. The child support enforcement division has jurisdiction over all support payments. She has a right to enforce the tenets of the settlement agreement. If your financial status has changed, you can petition the court to revise.

You are not required to pay support for children that are not your own or your legal responsibility.  You may want to consult a CPA or do file separately (depending on how much he actually owes in child support arrears).  You also, on another note, will want to advise him to begin making payments because he could be liable for a garnishment of his wages up to 25%.  Could your household survive on 25% less in earnings from him?  Best of luck with a difficult situation.

Child support is not deductible in the US--but if it is ordered as "Family Support" then yes-it would qualify just as spousal maintenance does.

Get in touch with your county child support enforcement agency and advise them you have custody.  They will set you up with a caseworker who will be able to give you the information you need.  If the parent(s) are working they will be able to send a support order to their employer and collect thru wage withhold.\n\nGo to the county child support enforcement agency.  That's where you can begin.\n\nGood luck!!

do you have an attorney? i do know that in the state of TX you can ask him be given supervised visitation where you can designate someone who has to be there every time he has the child and in some cases you can even say where he has to be during that time i went through something similar with my daughter in the end he gave up all rights to her so it is OK now but there are options you will just need a good attorney to make sure that you are utilizing the system to your advantage

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.

Contact your local child support agency where your case is being handled (they do it for free), also go down to your local courthouse (family law court would be better) there are often fliers for free workshops or free aid, sometimes lawyers passing out cards. \nMany family law attorneys do pro-bono work. Call them up and ask. Also go to www.kfi640.com there's a Saturday morning show called Handle on the law, the guy is an attorney and has real good advice, i believe his website has links to referrals and free do-it-yourself.

Unfortunately you were given some bad information. Being on permanent disability (SSD or SSDI) does not excuse you from paying child support. The only thing that changes is that child support collection will now take it out of your social security check instead of your paycheck. This is true in all 50 states. They should be taking out 17% per child, per mother...but no more then 25% total for each mother. If they are taking out more or if you have questions regarding this, call your local social security office:\n\n260 Executive Dr, Lexington\n1-(859) 294-5633

If the state where the divorce was granted is like my own, you are responsible for some portion of the support for that child.  This is usually determined by a matrix which will give a total support figure, and you are responsible for your proportionate share.  It may be that you could use that to get a break on your share, or more visitation, but this would likely require more court time.  Good luck.

There could be several reasons why you have not received the child support yet.  \nIn my state IF a child received any state aid like medicaid, food stamps or such, then before the mother gets any money then the child support will go to pay back the services.  \nYou need to contact the child and social services agency to find out what is going on.  They may not have your address.   \nIt could be many things including he may be not telling the truth.\nGood luck

It is very sad that has happened but unfortunatly that may be his best option. Does he still pay his child support? He needs to continue paying it even if he is not seeing his son because if they do end up back in court it will look better on him. I know that if you do not have a child back from visitation on time the police can be called, I wonder if it works the other way to. ( like she's not having the boy there for his visitation time if he can call the police on her) He may also try to contact his local DSS office and explain the situation to them and see if they can help or they may know who to contact to help him. Good luck to your friend!

Unless your child is still in high school, or heading to college - child support is supposed to cease when they are 18.\n\nIf they ARE still in school full time & living at home, then it continues as usual until they are 24 (or no longer living at home, or no longer in school if that happens first)\n\n(I live in PA, thats how it works here...  & I know it's the same in MD too - not sure if it differs elsewhere)
