I'm looking for advice about collecting child support from an ex in another state. It has pretty much been horrible. After 2 years the other state finally told him they were going to put him in jail if he didn't pay. Now after about 2 months he quit. My state says there is nothing they can do (stupid, cause the child support order is from here) they just send info request to the other state. The other state says they can't tell me anything it has to go through the other and then they can tell me. As you can see it is a total run around.. each one says they don't have an update!
Has anyone been through something like this? I really need some advice.

Maybe I left out info.. he is an ex husband, we divorced he never paid his support, he owes about 80k in back support, about 2 1/2 or 3 years ago I filed against him, just started getting payments 2 months ago then he quit.. the order runs between TN & TX.. it is just that neither one will enforce it or do anything.. I mean come on.. 2 years! they even had his employer, address and tons of other info I gave them.. TN's excuse is that they are just so busy.. the courts are too full.. really stupid huh? Maybe if they would get more help and make these deadbeats pay there would be less families collecting social service funds and poverty... I could go on and on about that one!

Interstate cases are hard to enforce. If you have any communication with him make sure you report to your state where he is and what he is doing (employment). If he owes you what you claim, he should be eligible for license suspension (drivers, recreational and professional), tax intercept, passport denial and leins on his assets. KEEP in contact with your CS agency. Your state is lying when they say there is nothing they can do. They need to do everything they can to get your support. Call your local agency again and ask how they are enforcing your case. Have they lost track of your ex? Is he in a federal locator service? If they know where he is have they registered your order in the other state? If you don't get satisfactory answers--ask for a supervisor. If you get no where with them contact your STATE office. Here is a link - click your state for more info.

Also your state elected officials can be of tremendous help. Contact their offices with a complaint as well!

I have been going through this for 5 years between the states of Idaho(where the child support case happened) and Illinois and Wisconsin(my ex jumps from state to state) They of course don't have a vaild address for him nor has he had a job (that's legal) in the last 3 years. And no there isn't anything they can do for me. For you though Oh yes they sure can. You need to go to your case worker and ask for a FEDERAL WARRANT to be issued on your ex. They have to issue it since he is over 10,000 in arrears as well as the fact that your state has a VALID address for your ex husband. He will be picked up...and he will be prosecuted. You might also want to tell your case worker about putting leins on any of his property and or sieze or freeze any of his accounts. Also if he has remarried you can go after the new wife's job and have HER wages garnished. Trust me this works...either she leaves him or she forces him to start working again. Most new wives do not like to pay for their husbands child support. Good luck to you. Also you might want to join a support group for women who have issues getting child support. You can learn a ton of stuff that you never thougth possible in helping you get your child support. Good luck to you!

It seriously depends on what two states your talking about. If you have his social security number go to your local DSHS office and submit it to support inforcement. If he works legally then they will find him and force him to take a DNA test. If positvie, they will take money out of his paycheck. If he runs, and works under the table they will take his drivers licence, his income tax return, his ability to get a passport and a warrent out for his arrest until he starts paying. My advice, is call upon the state to help. Also, 25 to 30 dollars and you can file a parenting plan with your state and get full custody of your child.

infant help and visitation are 2 thoroughly separate subject concerns. she can't withhold visitation regardless of if he does no longer pay in any respect. finished custody is going to be close to impossible, surprisingly because of the fact that he now has no visitation. until this mom is a crack smoking fool who's thrashing the youngster, he will by no skill get finished custody. in spite of the undeniable fact that, he ought to incredibly attempt for fifty/50 or as much as he can get, that still will do away with the quantity of youngster suppport she would be in a position to acquire. without courtroom order, it is going to likely be complicated to get the police to help him get visitation. he incredibly desires to a minimum of get a criminal separation and get the courts in touch interior the help and visitation, regardless of if the divorce drags on and takes consistently, those issues can very relatively be dealt with. he ought to call a family members regulation criminal expert interior the am, they generally will provide unfastened consults and can get him began
