I have no savings account, I owe 9000.00 in arrears because the judge ordered the increased amount back 1 year. With the new amount I am not able to meet my monthly living expenses. I have always paid my child support, without fail. The new amount ordered is the issue. How do you come up with an additional 650.00 a month

I have always supported my child, and intend to do so in the future. I am NOT a dead beat dad.

You can go back to court to file for a modification of the order. Any extra expense that you do Will have to stop such as eating out, movies etc. I think it was wrong for him to increase the amount back one year. If you do not pay it they will put a warrant for you arrest and you will lose your job and your license will be suspended. They do not think about the consequences it causes when you lose your job and drivers license. That will prolong the payment even more.

I agree with the last guy! You wouldnt be in this position if you had been paying child support. That's what you get for being a deadbeat dad! You know the only person that suffers when you're lazy and can't pay your child support is your CHILD! Do you have any idea what it's like to be a single mom with no help??? I feel no pity for you! Im sure you can afford it. Your child support is based off of your income. Maybe you should cut back on some things that you really don't need just the way I'm sure the mother of your child has had to be since you've been a lazy @$$ and haven't paid child suppport!
Get a second, or even a third job if you have to!

First... Do something about it before you are acquiring interest. Second... A second job only gives them another check to garnish. Don't let anyone tell you they wont either because the state of New Mexico did it to my husband. I would not say your a dead beat Dad since I don't think my husband is. He pays child support for 2 kids and he took a second job to try to keep ends meeting and it was part time to start and had to go full time since they garnished both. He worked 2... 40 hour a week jobs and only brought home about $400.00 per week from both. The cost of living is so outrageous that that does not account for anything.

He can petition the court to modify the quantity which if his interest mission transformations he might want to do. Likewise if he were given a better effective paying interest you may want to petition the court to advance the quantity. If a sparkling newborn help order isn't made than he will legally be predicted to pay the court ordered volume.

Join the crowd. My husband and i live from pay check to pay check. He pays almost $1,000 per month for 3 children (one thats not even his). The courts/child support people is making him pay for that child thats not even his just b/c the child was born during the marriage. He didn't tell his ex wife to go out and whore around and he'll pay for it. So my husband has to pay for this child until 18 and even longer if she goes to college. The actual father is out there running around FREE. He doesn't even know he has a child that exists. When they first started taking child support out of my husbands check the forgot to take it out at the beginning of the month and didn't start taking it out till the end of the month so then we got in the arrears and he owed i think about $600 and it wasn't our fault that they forgot to take it out the beginning of the month and we didn't have the money to pay the $600 so it started drawing interest but we finally got it paid off at tax time.But there are MANY of times where we can't afford food or to buy things for the house that we need. We barely make it by with paying the bills. Maybe if you have parents still living move in with them or maybe they can help you out or maybe some family or friends can help you out. I dunno but i feel for ya. Maybe there are churches or some kind of help program there where you live i dunno but i would at least try and see if i couldn't find some kind of help. Good luck buddy. I just read some of the responses and they said to tell the judge... well the judge or the child support people don't care if you get your bills paid or not.

Get another job if your struggling. By waiting to come across 9000, you could be working a second job bringing in more money to help you meet your monthly expenses while saving money for the child support. Also, try to cut back on things you dont really need. Save your money!

Tough sh*t! You didn't pay what you were supposed to when you were supposed to or you wouldn't have been dragged back to court!. What did you think the judge was going to do, pat you on the behind and tell you to go home and cry?
You're a deadbeat dad, and I have no sympathy for you. Someone had to provide for YOUR child, and you didn't do it. That's a jerk any day of the week in my book!
Now carry your sorry @$$ out of the house and get you a second job flippin burgers, or gathering shopping carts. Do it, even if it means working 80 hours a week for the next 5 years. You OWE this to YOUR CHILD!
Sh*thead!

You can not go to jail as long as you are paying 'something' on your child support. Let the court garnish your wages, they will adjust to your salary. My ex was ordered to pay $500. per month. But, because of his job they only took out $50 per week. This was after he was arrested and put on probation for not paying. They also ordered him to pay $350 per month back support. When he got a better job, they took out more but still do not take out the back support that he was ordered to pay. So, you can either let them garnish your wages and decide what they will take out, it is a percentage of your salary....not what you are ordered! OR you can pay them directly what you can afford. You will not go to jail for this. As long as you pay something each month. She can however take you back to court. Or you can do what the poster up above 'ralph' has told you to do. Thats exactly what my ex does and many other deadbeat fathers that do not want their children to prosper when they do. Very sad. But, some men prefer to put themselves before their children.

Well obviously you went for a long time without paying anything, you know you have to pay so why didnt you put the money aside for this?
You are just going to have to try harder, it is your responsibilty to provide for your children too.
I am so sick of men who think they shouldnt have to pay etc etc, then they just want to have the fun visits, and hand them back over to mums who do all the hard work day in and day out.
What would happen if the mum didnt want to pay aswell? Why should you not pay and expect her to pay for everything?
Grow up and take your childrens lives seriously.!!!

Take your bills and current paystubs to court to show your financial situation. If you show yourself very cooperative and courteous the Judge might give you some slack. Also, I don't know what kind of person the mother of your child(ren) is but I would suggest that you have her keep a log of what she has spent with the money.
