Is child support taken directly from the father/mother's wages?

Question

and if so why do so many men get off with not paying for their children? What plenties to the men incur who do not pay?

were not talking to mutual chatting makes no difference. I don't know where he lives, (he sold up and moved) but the csa will.

In in the uk

Answer 1

Aha, a common question and this is where the csa falls flat on its a**e. Firstly, the agency will only take money from a parents account if somebodytold them that:- you were the parent, you were working and you had a bank account. This info usually came from a disgruntled other former partner who already knew all of your ins and outs. Secondly, the parents who get off without paying are the ones who, generally could not be bothered working in the first place when they were on the scene therefor there was probably no chance of them ever working (would you if you knew that your wages were going to get dipped into before youve even got to the bank?) and these types are the ones that would no doubt continue to have more offspring, left for the taxpayer and / or legitimate parents to pay for via unrealistic csa assessments (just like mine.) The government reckon that they want to try and turn around the attitude of long term benefit claimants via back to work schemes etc. If the absent parent has never worked, the csa has proved pretty damn sure that they never would. Trouble is, if you have always worked (just like me) you are caught in this nasty vile trap, which is grotesquely unfair, yet it continues to this day. I opposed it from day one. I wanted to maintain my own children my way - trouble was, this shambolic and cruel regime had, and still has other ideas. They say they dont get involved in personal issues, but howcome they can delve into your finances and take them off you? (I thought that was theft) ...Hope this helped out

Answer 2

Initally, it is usually set to be paid from one parent to another, usually through mailed check.
If a problem arises, then the government agency in charge of the case (In Canada, it is the Family Responsiblity Office), taken certain measures. After several warning letters, they will begin garnishing wages (if the payee has a legal job, this cannot be done for people who are paid cash under the table). If they do not have a regular job, then they government make revoke their license and/or passport.
Payee's can get around paying by many methods, though eventually the government catches up to them and they are forced to pay back pay. Some flee the country, others have nothing in their name so their is no way to track them, many work under the table and could careless about losing their DL/passport. Also, there are many cases, where the person cannot pay for legitimate reasons and then the support is redefined or suspended by the courts.

Answer 3

Yes it is normally taken directly from their wages, but only after their employer signs some agreement to do so. Apparently from what l am told their employer can be fined for refusing to sign the agreement. I think why a lot of people get away with not paying is because they work cash in hand and their employer allows it rather than get invoved and half the time a judge doesn't chase it up even when they are told of the wrong doing.

Answer 4

It is much more common now to have the child support deducted from the wages. This is keeping that parent from not paying. The people who still pay themselves directly will lose their drivers license and/or they will go to jail. But, it takes a long time....and a bunch of money for lawyers and courts. The spouse that is to receive the child support can't afford a lawyer and that is why the other parent gets away with not paying. FYI - women are just as guilty as the men on not paying...

Answer 5

depends who is earning the most to who pays, they parent who should pay gets to option of paying the other parent if that doesn't work then the csa get involved they contact that parent and they can offer to pay using pay slips then if that doesn't work they calculate and deduct what they should pay out of his wages and the company he/she works for has to pay to the csa... men get away with not paying for there kids if the csa can't trace them they have to contact the inland revenue to see what they are doing and they can only do this i think 3 times a year its took 7 years for the csa to contact my ex husband i shall now be receiving some money via the csa he managed to dodge them well by moving house not working doing cash in hand jobs....sorry i understand why it annoys you..........i don't know if they do get any penalties

Answer 6

The child is now a ward of the state meaning the state has the need to collect even if she didn't do anything the state is now involved and they want the monies to run through them! So if you let them directly take it out of your pay THAT is your best move. What's demeaning is moving job to job to avoid the state from doing it. Yes it is garnishment.

Answer 7

If you stop making payments they will send you a demand. If you don't work something out with them it can be taken directly depending on the conduct of person in question. There is a web site that explains what can happen just google it. It does say they can go as far as to take away their driving licence. People get away with it because of the poor system. Sad but true.

Answer 8

It depends upon what state you live in. In my state the judge can order it and paper work is sent to the employer for automatic withdrawal from the paycheck. unfortunately my ex is self employed and is one of those deadbeat dads. He is not getting away with it thou because I pushed it enough that he is now sitting in jail on class b charges of criminal non-support of his 2 minor children. Some men do get away with it by moving around, switching jobs etc. You just have to be persistent and go after what is legally right for your kids.

Answer 9

Normally the court orders the employer to garnish the persons wages, It is my experience this is the best way, I pay and i also receive then there is no fighting about money and it is all done automatic and the payer never sees the money.

Answer 10

IF the support is Court Ordered the funds will be taken from your ex husbands pay check....assuming there is no agreement in place between you and him.....and if you do the court thing THAT supersedes any agreement that you and him made. Hope I helped.
