Question about Child Support Non Compliance?

Question

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.

According to the laws in my state, the employer would be responsible for paying the full amount of back child support owed because they didn't comply with OCSE and provide the information required by the court. The father is a waiter at this major restaurant chain, and I know either he or someone in the company is lying for him to get him out of paying on this order. He's said in the past he's lied on his tip claims. I've finally received another document from OCSE, requesting an affidavit saying how much, if any, child support has been paid. I hand delivered that so they couldn't say they didn't get it in. So I don't know what my next step is. I've already been to court 3 times over this loser, and it seems like the court system is letting him get away. They said they would suspend his DL for non-compliance of child support, and send him back to court again. I just don't know what good they think that will do. Any info or advise would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

The office of Support Enforcement is responsible for all of that as far as I know,
it may depend on what state you live in and it also varies from county to county.
Where I live they are VERY on top of it all, my ex was behind only by 3 months and they pulled his drivers liscence !!
Check with the office you are already dealing with to persue the matter.
Good Luck.

Answer 2

Oh my gosh... My aunt went threw the same thing. My cousin is 19 now. He has only paid up $3,000 for the last 19 years... The only way my aunt got the money was by harrassing the man and pulling the guilt trip on him. I can't believe that people think they don't owe anything. Like somehow, magically, a single parent can support a family. It all just crap... He needs to pay up... he owes you and your child...

Answer 3

Well, deal with it. They aren't going to enforce it until he's gone at LEAST a year without paying. Getting Child Support is like trying to get water out of sand. It's just not gonna happen. Your only option is to hire a lawyer by yourself and force the issue, and it seems to me like you really can't afford to do that. Deal with it.

With that a lot arrearage, it really is amazingly in all probability that he will be thrown in penal complicated. they could "attempt" to get some variety a charge agenda going, or order him to get a job in x quantity of days, & then if he doesn't do this, placed him in penal complicated. It truly relies upon on the choose. in the adventure that your ex has no longer be taken to court earlier to this for non-charge, or no different enforcement measures were taken, the choose might want to attempt different issues first & then hotel to penal complicated. yet then there are some judges who use penal complicated first. it truly is as a lot because the choose.

Call them again. Tell them if something isn't done immediately, you'll call the CS Enforcement Office at your state capitol. EVERBODY has a boss. Tell them you'll complain to theirs at the state level. Watch how fast they jump then! LOL
