How can I pursue a Child Support case if I live in another sta?

Question

I live in Connecticut and my son's father does not hold down a job so it's hard for him to be found but

Answer 1

well, the honor system doesnt work, thats for sure.

deadbeats are a real problem and drain on everyone (everything).

1) to run over a state line (if thats what he did or does) to avoid child support, is now a federal crime.

2) if he owes over a certain amount, they put a tax refund intercept on them (state and federal).
3) it is reported on his credit reports (all 3 major agencies). call and make sure they are reported on them. you do this by calling the state you live in CS department or your caseworker.
4) if your caseworker isnt on the ball, write your regional federal CS office and ask what they can do about it. they usually can put some heat on the case. make sure you write the director, not just anyone there.
5) they take away the driving lisense of him. if they have not suspended it yet, get it suspended. it will haunt him in other states.
6) if he has property, put some liens on them. if hes like most deadbeats, they put stuff in other peoples names, so disregard it if so.
7) the redcross sometimes helps with cheap cars. the salvation army helps with all kinds of stuff you may need help with.
8) if he cant hold down a job, or works under the table (most of these dirtbags do that), then only a PI would be able to help. watch him to see what he does, where he works and where he lives. then they can write a report for you (most courts dont take the time to review video).
9) post his deadbeat face on deadbeats sites online. some states even post them on their states sites...automatically.

here are some links; one is a calculator. just click on your state and find the section you are looking for.

the rest, are to help you.

Answer 2

To the best of my knowledge you'd have to file it in the State where you were divorced or where you ex is presently living. In California, such cases can be heard via conference call so technology does make it possible. I'd suggest calling a few attorneys in your area and see if any offer a free consultation to get your questions answered.

Answer 3

That state should report it the to the Child Support bureau, if he gets a job. Also I think the IRS reports it.

Answer 4

In Pa they have a yellow envelope tracking system with the temp services and anywhere his ss shows up? You would probably register him as a deadbeat parent and go from there (domestic relations?)...sites?

Answer 5

just go to the county prosecuter. fill out the paperwork and they will find him if possible.
