Contact your local District Attorney's office or Family Support office if your state has one.\n\nIf they can't help you, I'm sure they can refer you to someone who can. \n\nBest of luck!

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.

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

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.

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.

Getting a court order for child support means going to court. Obviously. Depending on your state, there might be special family courts for that, or it might be part of the general state trial court system. Also, while there are standard filing fees, most courts have a procedure for waving those fees in cases of financial need.\n\nAs to the attorney, the laws can be complex and it's a good idea to have one, especially if the opposing side has one. However, legal aid clinics, pro bono referral services, and just do-it-yourself filings are all potential options to explore.

Honestly, your best bet is probably to set up an appointment to meet with a divorce lawyer in your state if you want good advice.\n\nIn AR, child support can be based on imputed income.  In other words, it can be based on a parent's ability to earn rather than their actual earnings.

You need to go through the courts.  Have a child support order made by the courts, with an income deduction order, so that the money is just taken from his check and deposited into your account (no more bounced check worrries).  I went through what you are going through for years until I finally went to the courts.  By this point my ex was $14000 in the hole but had purchased a new car, enrolled in college for his masters degree, and was living great.  But whenever I questioned him about it, he would tell me how hard he was struggling and that he just couldn't do any better.  I, however, was living on a prayer and wish, maxing out credit card for grocery and clothing for my son.  And wondering if I would ever be able to get out of the hole he'd made.   \n\n\nIt took 10 months for the courts to straighten everything out.  I requested that I keep my son's insurance on my policy because my exhusband was very unstable and changed jobs a lot.  They had no problems with that.  They garnished his income tax refund for the next 3 years and made it very clear to him that his child was first in his life, not his new apartment  or car or school. \n\nHe pays the very least a non-custodial parent can pay.  I was not trying to break him, I just wanted my son to have the benefit of both parent's income.  Which I think is his right.  \n\nThink of it as fighting for your children.  You would never let anyone else take anything from them or cheat them.  Don't let their father.  If they lived with him, he wouldn't have a choice about taking care of them.  He shouldn't just because ya'll aren't together.  \n\nYou don't need a lawyer.  Just go to your local office for Child support enforcement.  If you don't know where it is, search child support and your state's name.  \n\nAlso, think about life insurance policy -- child support orders normally require both parent carry one because you need that assurance in the event of an untimely death.  \n\n\nGood Luck!!

I would personally steer clear of support kids unless it is a last ditch effort.  (They will take a very large percent of anything they collect and your local office will do it for free).  Is the support order going through a child support agency?  If not, you could apply for services whether you are the payer or receiver at your county support enforcement agency.  If you already have they will be able to give you the figure you are looking for.

The mother would only get child support from the time the case is filed for child support...I know this because I waited eight years to file on my now exboyfriend and could not get back child support, it started from the date I filed, and more than likely it will start from the date she filed...You will need to contact your division of child support enforment or contact juvi-courts in your state and get the process started before the child gets older.   good luck.

Yeah, call DSS or whatever it is for your state.  For a small fee they will take on the child support enforcement and handle all the paperwork, court issues, etc.\n\nThe info below comes from the page link at the bottom...\n\n"To apply for Missouri Child Support Enforcement services, you may request an application on–line, call the Missouri Child Support Enforcement information line (1-800-859-7999) or contact the child support office that serves your county. Child Support Enforcement provides services as follows: Location; Establishment and/or enforcement of a child support order and/or Medical support order; Modification of a child support order; Establishment of paternity."

Just because he is ordered to pay child support does not mean he gets rights to your child.  Visitation and custody are dealt with in seperate legal battles.  Go after the child support.  It won't go against you if you don't go for it, but is it really fair that you're shouldering all the financial responsibility for your son.  Applying is easy.  Go to your state's .gov web address, and search for child support or dept. of revenue.  Once you fill out the application and send it in, they will notify you of any progress with your case, and will assign a court date. (Save copies of all paperwork you send in or they send you)  If your son's father is named on the birth certificate, that's good enough for the court.  If he's not listed, he can either say he is the father, and the court will decide the amount he is to pay or he can contest it, and get a paternity test.  If he doesn't show up to court for these hearings, a bench warrent will be put out for his arrest (they won't seek him out, but if he gets pulled over for speeding and there's a warrent, he will be arrested).  The judge will ask both of you to submit financial statements, and then determine how much he will pay (a percentage of his pay, usually no more than around 35%)  They could also order him to pay back support.  \n\nI'm not trying to say your son's father is a bad guy and deserves harassment.  I just want you to know the process.  I'm a firm believer in child support.  It takes two people to make a child, and two people to support it financially.  Right now, money may not be such a huge deal, but why take all of that on when you're already doing all of the parenting too?  What about your son's future?  What about college?  Perhaps having that extra money could mean moving to a better neighborhood with better schools.  Perhaps it means that you could afford to work fewer hours to spend more time with your son.  Think about the possibilities.\n\nAs far as him being irresponsible in other areas, if you're worried that he'll go after custody, most cases the child will stay with the primary caretaker (you).  They will review his behavior and decide if that's appropriate.  Same thing with visitation.  They will review his behavior and decide if it's appropriate.

First, you shouldn't be late for your son's child support in the first place. second, you are right, child support is like a loan. It would be the same for your home loan, car loan ...any kind of loan, if owe them..you pay them...on time. Don't look at paying on time as a positives, it is an agreement and a responsibility that you need to get in your mind. AND you CAN fix your credit score with some paper work and phone calls.\nYou will get positives for your credit report for loans is because these companies lend you (stranger) their money for your needs. BUT child support is YOU paying for something that YOU made and that is your son. Why do you think you would get credit on your credit report for raising your own kid? AND the reason you will be penalize for late payment is due to your legal agreement  with the other party. You are being penalize because they reported you to the credit unions. (in which case, most won't file report for 1 late payment if you inform them in advance of your difficulties)

Go to family court and file papers for it

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 lawyer. Short of that How busy is your Courthouse? You will likely have to file the papers there and that is where you would proably get them. If you have a Courthouse that isn't like overly busy or at least has good people then I'd say go talk to them about what papers you need. I think it is great to hear you want to do what you feel is in the best intrest of the child. Not enough people do that these days.
