Do you know anyone who has been prosecuted by the state attorney for not paying child support?

Question

If so, what happened??

When it comes to bench warrants, his county jails are too full to take him so now he is getting a felony warrant from the state.

Answer 1

every state is different (slightly) with the guidelines, but yes, they go to jail. they get the sack lift, cheek spread and a bed. they stay until they (or a family member/friend) bring the jail a chunk of cash. they then issue you a check for these funds.

if they are not putting the deadbeat in jail, because they claim the jails are 'full' they are not doing what they are supposed to. everyones jails are full... they are not allowed to let the deadbeat go because of this.

contact your regional Federal Child Support Office (in writing, to the director via fax) telling them of this action by the court not putting him in jail because the 'jail is full' bs. remember to give your name, contact info, case number and courts name.

here is a calculator. i suspect if they are not making the deadbeat go to jail, the amount you are getting may also be fudged. just click on your state and fill it in (it goes by both parents incomes). the amount it gives you is a general idea as to what you should be getting.

there are many things the state can do today to deadbeats.
1) suspend their drivers license
2) attach wages (from paychecks)
3) report arrears on their credit reports (all 3 major reporting agencies)
4) have a tax refund intercept (state and federal)
5) put leins on all property and possessions of deadbeat
6) keep throwing them in jail, until they learn to pay on their own

the states are tired of paying for peoples children, so the laws are pretty tough today...as it should be.

here are some other links to help; just click on your state and find the section you have questions about.

Answer 2

My x was brought before the family court judge by child support enforcement for non-payment. He was allowed to do a "purge payment" basically what that meant was he had to make all of his regular payments on time, in addition to that he had to make 3 large purge payments over a 3 month time period. If he failed in any of this a warrant was automatically issued for his arrest and he had to serve 6 months. It was already a done deal, signed and everything that day in court, if he purged the payments like he was suppose to he had nothing to worry about, if he didn't, he was in jail for six months. They did it that way because it was a win-win for me and the kids, and him too, pay the money and we are all happy.

Answer 3

Yes. That happens ALL the time. Sometimes they get probation, and part of the terms of their probation is that they start paying current and back support. However, sometimes, especially if they've already been given a chance to pay in a prior case, they'll be sent to prison. I had a client who was serving 10 years for failure to pay child support. It's definitely in everyone's best interest to pay the child support. The state doesn't mess around with that stuff.

Answer 4

Dept of Human amenities? As in welfare? if you're utilizing for state help of any variety, they are going to attempt to advance your income by way of ensuring he pays his toddler help. they'd have assumed he's not paying because you utilized for help. in spite of the undeniable fact that evidently you by no ability even were given a help order, so he hasn't been obligated to pay. it would want to easily be on the attorneys place of work to envision his funds as a payroll deduction (it really is growing further and extra commonplace). commence by way of speaking on your caseworker and asking what all meaning. and also you extremely favor to teach your self on toddler help and what your rights and his responsibilities are.

Answer 5

PRISON, my friend was in for 6 months and is now on parole, 45% of his income goes to back child support, we don't always have food in our house, but the state makes sure he pays $600. a month to his ex wife....he should have paid it when it when the kids were still at home but he was tied up in drugs and alcohol, now he's trying to get his life on track and he is paying an old debt....PEOPLE...these are your kids...PAY YOUR CHILD SUPPORT!!! (I didn't know about this before I fell in love with him, otherwise I would have ran away.)

Answer 6

I don't know what state you are in, but the state of Missouri is very strict on child support orders. My friends ex was behind in support and he was arrested for it. When they went to court his bail money went toward his back support and he was advised that if he goes in front of the judge again he WILL go to prison.

Answer 7

Yep. He went to jail, till they found out that the reason he'd quit paying was because he'd married his baby's mother, and was spending all his cash with them. Didn't complete the paperwork.

Answer 8

Yes. And they went to jail. When they got out, THEY PAID. If it is their child, then there is no other way.
