Father not paying CSA.?

They should have his national insurance number !!\nIt's up to them to them to find him that way.......but if you hear from someone where he's working you could then contact the CSA and give them the information.\nIt takes a long time for them to find people.

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!

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.

Yes, fight for your rights, and don't give him any sex (charge him, just kidding, had to say that in the moment), the most important thing of course is the welfare of the children, and remember, documentation, documentation, I hope you have paperwork on everything that has happend in your life, and witnesses, he has to pay child support no matter what, he is their father and has to support them (like it or not/wage garnishment).  And don't question yourself if you need financial help, you do and you deserve it.  Good Luck and I hope things work out for you and your children.

Your mother may have a claim against your father, but you do not. It is a sad thing that your father did not support you, but you have no right to collect from him now that you are an adult!!

go to the court system and tell them about your child support and that he has not been paying and that you want him to start paying and then you get a order against him for all of that and above. then see how he likes that.

Well I can think of two types of men who might have a problem with the CSA. \n\nFirst of all, there's a huge culture of financial irresponsibility among these days. People who get really angry when made to take responsibility for themselves. And it's a bigger problem than just the CSA. I used to work at the housing association and you'd be surprised how many people in very reasonable subsidised housing in a very nice borough in London would b*tch and complain when they went into arrears and the council chased up their rent- as if it wasn't our right to ask them to pay their (massively cheap) rent?! And we all know people with huge debts who totally resent the fact that the bank is so cheeky as to want their 5 grand back.\n\nSo it's no surprise that a few people have the attitude that they shouldnt have to pay for their kids either. It's this attitude that they are above the law, the exception to the rule, although they can never back this up with any actual reason so they just get angry and lash out at the person coming to them to collect.\n\nI think there's another breed of men who oppose the CSA because as far as I understand, it isn't controlled by the same agency that controls custody and visitation arrangements. So while a man might be fighting in court to even be allowed to see his children, if his ex is denying him access, he probably resents the CSA chasing him up for all his money while this is going on. This makes a little more sense. In theory it seems fair that if a man is denied access once the courts have given it to him, he ought to be able to withold payments to his ex as a bargaining tool. Unfortunately this just can't be the way of things as long as it's the kids who will suffer in less well-off families.

This is very unfortunate and all too common, thankfully the CSA is being disbanded in the New Year as it now costs more to run than it collects. The question is what the Government will replace it with, there is talk of privatising it. \n\nHopefully we will get an organisation that is capable of locating absent parents, assessing their income correctly and pursue them to make payments. Too many absent parents are getting away with not living up to their responsibilties.\n\nOne of the biggest problems is that it has been very inequitable in how it pursues leading to people with little income who have to pay and others who are better off but get of with it.

Contact the GA CSD division.  Their site is down right now, but the link is www.cse.dhr.state.ga.us/\n\nYou can also try these people...\n\nhttp://www.supportkids.com/content/public/stateinfo/statespecific/supportga.asp\n\nYES, you are still owed the money even if the child is now 21.  You need to contact the court.  For owing that much money, the father's name and picture could be on every news program and newspaper in the state, if not more.\n\nThey will help you.  I am not saying they will be able to find him right away, or that he will have the ability to pay, but you certainly need to try.

If he was a minor or unable to manage his own finances,then the mother as the payee should be held responsible for paying back the money owed.He shouldn't have been receiving SSI benefits if he is able to work,it is the payees responsibility to report any income changes to SS immediately.\nYour best option would be to have HIM contact SS directly and speak to someone there.While I know you want to help,it really isn't your place to get involved since you are not directly involved in the case..He has to deal with this on his own.

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.

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.

I live in Pa also and tried to do the same thing.I was not permitted to have my child's fathers rights terminated,and he hadn't seen my son for years and sent very sporadic child support.The reason I was given,according to my lawyer,was that in Pa,a child cannot be made a "bastard",terrible name,but that is what they legally call a child without a father.If I had been remarried and my new husband wanted to adopt my son,that would be a possibility,but they cannot make a child fatherless.Their reasoning I'm sure is that the child might then become the states responsibility if the mother alone couldn't support the child.This is the experience that I had dealing with the same issues.Good luck to you.

If the rights are revoked, he does not have to pay in MOST cases. There could be exceptions. However, the liklihood he would get your daughter, even upon your death, is small if he has had nothiong to do with her to date. You can establish gaurdianship through a lawyer more than likely.

"Any thoughts on family law. Advise please!? My question is in regards to visitation, child support and child's well-being.  My 5 yr old son's father used to be very regular on child support payments and visitation. 2 years ago I remarried and began going to counselling because of problems with or son. In this time we discovered he had a problem with transitions. We got my son's father to come to a meeting and he agreed to help anyway he could. About year ago, he decided to take on a new job which was supposed to pay off some debt he had. His visitation became less frequent and payments started becoming late. I confronted him on his decision as my son was already getting very upset about less visitation, Plus he was acting out. Then last April he went on a trip for a month overseas. He kept up his payments but his visitation was getting worse.Now both visitation and payments are declining. He is not phoning to say he can't make it my son is very upset. What can I do from a legal standpoint? What are my son's rights? Thank you."\n\nThere is no quick answer to your question.\n\nYou have two separate issues that are not really related in the eyes of the law.\n\nFirst, there is the problem of irregular visitation by the non-custodial parent and the impact it has on your child.  Unfortunately, there's nothing the Court can do about that and as you already know, you'll be challenged in your own attempts to deal with it.\n\nLet me stress that in response to your amplification on the question (here and elsewhere): There is nothing you can do in a legal forum to make a dad a better dad.  If you feel that your child's interaction with his father is detrimental to the child, then you can ask a judge to have visitation reduced or entirely eliminated (though usually the father has to be unfit in order to justify such actions).  I understand that it's a rough set of circumstances, but unless there is abuse or neglect-- that is causing actual physical harm to your son or a failure to thrive-- the courts and even governmental agencies like Child Protective Services (or DCFS, etc.) are powerless to act.\n\nIt isn't the role of government to make people better parents.  You picked the father and had a child with him.  That means dealing with him-- and all the problems he brings along-- at least until your child is 18 years of age.  That's just the reality of it.  And no court can change that.\n\nSeparate the issue of visitation and child support in your mind-- and then call the child's father and-- focusing on the psychological needs of your child-- ask that the father make more frequent phone calls to his child and that he try to keep up with the visitation schedule better.  Try to be understanding about your ex's situation-- because being snippy and accusative with him won't get the results you want for your child.  \n\nAgain, in response to your amplification, even if you've been patient for a very long time and you have now run out of understanding and patience, if it's your child that you care about then you'll remember honey's the best way to catch a fly.  That it isn't too much too ask for the father to keep his visitation schedule isn't what's going to get him involved.  If you nag, he won't want to come around.  If you hound him, he won't want to come around.  If he owes support and doesn't want to feel guilty about it, then he won't come around.  You have a lot to do with whether or not he'll come around to spend time with your child.  \n\nSecond, there's the separate issue of child support.  Back child support is something the Court can and will do something about.  In fact, you don't even have to go to Court-- your state has a child support enforcement agency mandated by federal law that will help you collect back child support.  \n\nI'd start by contacting them and filling out an application to get their ass

child support is not a magical number that the judge pulls out of his butt.  child support is based on the income of the mother, the income of the father etc.  the state has a chart and depending on what the father makes a figure is computed. in other words x+y=z.  unfortunately i see alot of cases come through my court where the father is the one 99% of the time paying child support.  and even worse the state does not factor in if the father has a mortgage, utilities, food expenses etc.  it sucks big!  i get so angry sometimes in court, but we have to maintain our proffessionalism.  and as soon as these women find out that the father has obtained a second job, they petition the court for more money because he has more income.  I had a case last week that was just absolutely insane.  the man was a capt. in the army and he was ordered to pay alimony, child support, and maintain the mortgage on the house that she got during the divorce and he no longer resides in.  in the end with all the money he was paying out to her, she ended up receiving more of his income than he did.  I have even had many men blatently tell the judge that they would rather go to jail than to pay.  I think in regards to reaching what amount he or she should pay, the state should take into considering what he/she pays out in living expenses and then factor child support. unfortunately the state feels that if you have to live under a bridge they don't care as long as they pay.  you can always repetition the court and present your case and see if they will lower his support amount.

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!
