Depends on your state, since the laws surrounding child support are not federally mandated.  For the most part though,  there is no statute of limitations on past due support, as long as the child is still a child.  In addition, an ongoing crime doesn't set at the date it began, but the day it ended.  As such, even if there is a statute of limitations, the other party will be able to sue if the father is currently and continuously not paying his court ordered share.

See above on the general rule that you are only financially responsible for your own children (legal or adopted), and the advice to speak to an attorney.\n\nThe thing to remember about child support is that it is determined (ordered) by the court based on the needs and interests of the child. Both parents (whether biological or adopted) are financially obligated to care for a minor child. The custodial parent is credited toward some of that financial obligation based on providing food/clothing/shelter and other necessary living expenses for the child. \n\nBut once that is factored in, both spouses are still  obligated to provide for the needs of the child, and that obligation is split based on relative income. In the past, men tended to make more money than women, and women tended to have custody. Thus, in most situations, the woman's share was mainly provided through room+board and related expenses, and the man contributed additional money to satisfy his share of the total. But the basic ideas in the formula for calculating the total has not changed, and it's based on the contribution of each parent (biological or adopted).

Most states use tables that base child support on the amount of each parents income.  As each parents income goes up, or promotions happen every couple of years it can be recalculated in many state.\n\nPresidential decrees are for issues much more serious than divorce court proceedings.

Check out http://www.dadsdivorce.com it has a child support calculator there.\nIt would be nice to think that parents could help each other out in the raising of a child and that it could flow nice and easy.  My thing, if the ex is asking for more, you have every right to refuse and probably every rationale to not pay over and above your amount in child support.  It will not be credited to you and it might very well be used against you later on.\nThe only thing I am confused on is whether it has been modified because she is out of work.  If she tries to, you can still dispute it based upon her work history.  If she's trying to gravy train off the child support ask the courts to impute an income for her so that your child support is based upon what the child and what you need.

Could be looking into the earnings of the parent paying support. Depends on jurisdiction how often that can be adjusted up or down (usually up.)

In georgia you can appeal your child support payments every 2 years.  If you have greater than half custody, and can prove it, you most likely can get it stopped, maybe even start receiving some.

Lesa,\n\nBelow are a number of links to various sites that may be of help. I have headed each one so you will know the site destination.\n\nGeorgia Child Support Services:\nhttp://ocse.dhr.georgia.gov/portal/site/DHR-OCSE/menuitem.f3ca900e75789bd18e738510da1010a0/?vgnextoid=4f9a10ad92000010VgnVCM100000bf01010aRCRD\n\nOklahoma Child Support Enforcement Division:\nhttp://www.okdhs.org/childsupport/csservices.htm\n\nUS Department of Health and Human Services:\nhttp://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cse/prgrpt.htm\n\nThe rest of the links that follow are to private child support recovery services. These can be very effective companies but I would caution against those who require upfront fees. There are a number of privatized collection/recovery services who will only expect their fees upon actual collection of unpaid support. Typically these types of collection companies will deduct up to 30% from the amount actually collected for their services.\n\nhttp://www.child-support-info.org/gpage3.html\n\nhttp://www.supportkids.com/default.aspx\n\nhttp://www.childsupport.com/\n\nhttp://www.childsupportrecovery.com/\n\nhttp://www.supportcollectors.com/\n\nhttp://www.deadbeatparent.com/\n\nhttp://www.child-support-collections.com/\n\n\nI hope this information will be of help and if you need further assistance please feel free to contact me.\n\nBest Wishes

Most divorce documents these days address the issue of claiming the children.  Whom is the custodial parent?  Just paying child support does not mean that you automatically get to claim them.

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!!

It depends on what it is they are withholding.  If your employer gets an official notice for child support, for example, they don't have to even notify you of the withholding.  It will just be done.

The best thing to do is contact the Florida Child Support Enforcement Program. See their site below.

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.

you would really have to check with the agencie. most states count child support as income so it counts against you benifits. missouri has some weird laws about benifits and stamps. good luck.

That depends on the laws in your state. MOre states are passing laws that make it easier to terminate right of fathers(and mothers) who dont pay child support or dont see their kids. You need to contact a lawyer or legal services in your state. Most have a free initial consult. They can tell you what your options are. Goodluck!
