I had a court order for the father of my 2 year old child to pay child support on May 2006. As of now, my daughter hasn't received a penny. The employer is required to report his earnings, for witholding purposes. They didn't respond until October! The court papers I have say that the employer must respond within 14 days of the order (b/c they may be held in contempt as being non-compliant employers). Now, the employer is saying that he doesn't report enough income to withold the funds for child support, although the father himself reported that he made enough per month for the order to be $75/week. ($92/week now due to back child support owed). I have had to call the Office of Child Support Enforcement in my county. They've made no effort to enforce this order, nor have the followed up on any action against the employer for not responding for so long. I want to know how would I go about having the employer be responsible for the support order owed, due to non-compliance.
