CANADA - My ex has been paying support faithfully but suddenly stopped with no explanation and wants repayment
813465
If these are payments set out by the courts & he's not following the courts orders then he is in violation. \nHaving said that, my personal experience with the Ontario Office of the Solicitor General has shown me that they are quite arrogant, & assume that all people are going to voluntarily carry out all orders made by the court. They really have no true consequences in place for someone who chooses to violate their orders.\nThe police don't get involved in Civil matters so you can't go to them. The only thing you can do is file for an action of enforcement with the civil courts, & that is basically a whole new lawsuit. You go into the court, & if the Judge passes judgement in your favour,  & the other party is determined not to follow the judges orders, then the courts will pass down more severe judgements, but all you get in the end is a bigger piece of nothing because the civil courts have no bite. \n\nIf your Ex has come to realise this then he can dig his heals in and tie you up in an endless circle of "You take him to court, the judge finds in your favour, your ex fails to honour the courts". \nThe only chance you have of getting anything out of him in that case is if you go to court AGAIN, & sieze property, like his house.\nBut they RARELY do that.\n\nCivil court in Ontario is definatly not like on TV where everything is wrapped up in one single episode. It's slow, broken down, crappy, & it sucks.\nSorry!

Have you being paying the mortgage on time and can prove that you have been?  Then file those documents, otherwise Banruptcy may be your only solution.\n\nGood Luck

unfortunately, unless it was documented when the money was loaned, there is no way to legally bind them to repayment. Do you have a baseball bat?

Someone has placed a lien on a part of your property (home, car, etc.) for something.  Maybe a debt owed.\n\nThe "abstract" part should give youa brief explanation of the court order and tell you what happened and why.\n\nYou need to contact the court it was issued from and see what you need to do to resolve the matter.

The previous answer is untrue. \nAs per the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, if you TELL them to cease and desist from calling you, it is usually sufficient. If not, you'll need to put your request in writing, and you're well within your rights to do so. If you owe them money, that's one thing, but they don't have a right to call and harass you. Continued calling after you've advised them to stop constitutes harassment.\nIf you still have problems, even after putting your request in writing, contact the FTC.\nI pray that your financial situation improves, too. :)

Go and see a solicitor, maybe a letter from them may scare him into paying up. Good luck :-)

Explain nothing to your son until you have sought advice from your attorney.\nHe is too little to understand what's going on and doesn't need to be but in the middle\nKids usually cope better in these situation then the adults do\nYour ex has never paid child support and would have to prove he his able to care for a child he doesn't even know let him spend the money with a lawyer to find out. Maybe when he knows he is responsible for all the back payments he might decide not to see the child

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

Contact one of the following:\nYour attorney\nClerk of Courts where the action was settled\nChild support recovery office (or equivilant in your State)

Check with the finacial institution used to make the payment.  If you did not make the payment yourself, then you have to ask the appropriate court to make sure the payment has been made.

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.

The office of Support Enforcement is responsible for all of that as far as I know, \nit may depend on what state you live in and it also varies from county to county.\nWhere I live they are VERY on top of it all, my ex was behind only by 3 months and they pulled his drivers liscence !!\nCheck with the office you are already dealing with to persue the matter.\nGood Luck.

I THINK THAT ANSWER IS ABIT HARSH SWEETS.\n\nHow do we know if this man has lost contact purely because the ex has moved away and not told him where they are..\n\nThat does happen, and its no joke.\n\nI think you're going to have to seak real legal advice for the answer on this one, try the Citizens Advice Bureau first. As you may be entitled to free legal aid.\n\nwww.citizensadvice.org.uk \n\n\nAnd do your self a favour and ignore the sarcastic comments off some.\n\nGood Luck

Sounds like your attorney isnt doing the job you pay for.  \n\nIs there a court order for support?  Is it paid thru the county support office where you live?  Both of these should be true.  If they arent fix it.  \n\nCan you provide proof he has not been paying legally obligated support?  If so, no judge in the country will fail to order him to make good.  Likewise, failure to do so over a certain period or amount will result in the court taking action.  They can take his drivers license, and worse even put him in jail.  \n\nNo matter he is self employed.  You can go by his tax returns and the court will order him to produce the documents.  \n\ntry going to legal aid where you live\n\nI paid my support religiously for 15 years and never missed a payment.

document document document!! everything and go to your cities labour board. ( in Canada) They will start a claim on your behalf and investigate and should you need a lawyer they can provide one for you as well (not sure if its free or a nominal fee) but talk to them first they really are there to help employees. also get all your pay stubs in order and your record of employment they will need to see them and any witnesses you might have. If they decide in your favour they will come after your employer for unpaid wages, holiday pay severance pay etc. they can garnish the accounts for you once you get the labour board involved im sure you employer will come to their senses and pay up. Send in writing to your employer a formal request for all sums owed to you keep a copy for yourself date it make sure you give that to your case worker as well. g/l

The court has to make you pay.  Don't listen to someone who is leaving you.  Get a lawyer.
