The next time you go the cs office tell them that you want a copy of whatever efforts they have made to find him. Have they made phone calls? If so to who did they make them. Have they filled out forms to send to Texas? It sounds like they may just be beating around the bush on this one if you are giving them factual and accurate information.  If they can't provide you any proof that they have attempted to contact and find him then they probably haven't.  If they keep on with their bs start mentioning the words "legal action" that usually gets the attention of most people when they are not doing their job.

Federal law requires every state to have a state agency available to enforce child support orders.  Usually this agency is a branch of the District Attorney's office.  \n\nFind out who does this in your state.  Call up, set an appointment, bring all of your paperwork (especially if the order was made in another state).  Bring the deadbeat's social security number, driver's license number, last known address, all names used, etc.\n\nThe state agency has direct access to the IRS database and can search the database using the social security number.   If he is employed or self-employed under that number, they will find out where he is working and how much he makes.  They can then swoop down and attach 50% of his wages.

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

i don't know about Texas but if you go to jail they don't charge you in Louisiana. so my suggestion is go to jail and spend a long time there. maybe by the time you get out you will be willing to accept your kid also :-)

Unfortunately, it's one thing to get the child support decree and quite another to get the child support decree enforced. There are organizations that specialize in helping you get your money. Try www.supportkids.com\n\nGood luck!

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!!

Child support worker here.  Go to your local child support agency (where your order originated) and tell them your ex is in Arkansas and you want them to do an interstate action.  You will need to fill out URESA papers attesting to the amount owed.  There are many ways they will be able to locate him even if you don't have an address.  If he is working TN will ask AR to enforce and send an income withholding. You're correct that if you have a state warrant it is only good in TN--however (depending on the state) if he is far enough behind, request a criminal action be initiated--those warrants are good throughout the US!  Good Luck!

Do the people who want to move to TX have family members in TX?  If so, they should be able to transfer after applying to the Interstate Compact in NM and paying the transfer fee if they are not in violation of their probation.  This paperwork would need to be completed at the current probation office.\n\nIf they don't have family in TX, TX has the right to refuse to accept the couple for transfer.

I'm assuming your question is...how do I go about obtaining this...\n\nFirst of all anyone can file for custody of a child (no matter their relationship to the child) if they believe that it would be in the best interest of the child for them to have custody. However, visitation is a little more tricky.\n\nYour first  step should be to contact the family court in the county where the child has resided for the past six months. Request a UCCJEA (out of state) custody/visitation petition (they are usually exactly the same, you just have to check different boxes). You can then take this to your attorney to complete or you can complete it yourself. They are not difficult to complete. You may be able to obtain the petition forms on-line or ask them to fax or mail them to you. MAKE SURE YOU GET THE OUT OF STATE PETITION! This is needed if any of the parties live in different states. The judge will need to verify jurisdiction.\n\nYou will have to either submit the completed petitions in person or you will have to have them notarized and then sent certified mail to the Family Court in Texas. The court clerk will give you your court date and time where you will plead your case to a judge, proving to him that it will benefit the child for you to have visitation or custody. You will want evidence and witnesses to testify as character witnesses on your behalf.\n\nIf the other party agrees then the process is fairly quick and simple. If they do not agree and  refuse to compromise then expect the process to get sticky. You will want to find a local lawyer or request a court appointed attorney to plead your case. Most likely if the two lawyers can not reach a compromise then the case will go to trial, which can take anywhere from 4 months to a year (or longer). \n\nIf you are requesting only visitation then know that in many states there is no such thing as grandparents rights (research this on-line for your state before trying to plead this). You may have to settle for visitation when your daughter has scheduled visitation. If she has no visitation then you can request that you be given her visitation so the child can have a connection to his/her maternal side.\n\nThe best advice any of us can give you is to speak to an attorney with family law experience in the state where the child resides. That would be Texas if the child has been there longer then 6 months or their previous state if they have not.\n\nBest of luck.\n\nAlso note: on the petition you are the petitioner and the respondents are both paternal grandparents, the bio dad, and the bio mom (unless either parent has given up their rights) and if child services is involved you will also have to list them as respondents. You need to file against all of them (not just the paternal grandparents) to make your petition valid.

Im not sure what state you live in but in ohio we have a 1-800 number that you can call and put in your social ssecurity number and find out if a case has been court ordered and how much u owe. Besides that all I can say is look up in the white pages your local child support agency and call them and ask.
