My ex-husband refuses to pay child support and alimony even though he earns (self employed) a ton of money. He is four months behind. When it has been paid in the past it was only through intervention by Child Support Services liens. At what point will be be penalized by the state. He also has bank accounts that the FTB has not been able to detect. I suspect he is using a false Social Security card number to open the accounts. He is now trying to get his support amount reduced. He has tried this twice in the past year, both requests were denied because of his income. He is taking me to court to try again in February to try again. He can afford an attorney, I can not. He is a bully. Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

wow... he sounds like a jerk. I am sorry to hear that.
If you suspect he is committing fraud then you should turn him in to the social security administration (they give a reward for that kind of stuff). Tell them that you think he is opening accounts with false SS#'s. If the find out it is true and prosecute him then he will never have a leg to stand on!
As far as being penalized by the state... it depends on you state and their laws. Under normal circumstances they would garnish his wages but because he is self employed they might freeze his accounts until you are paid.
It is to bad because it is much easier to hide money when you are self employed... they may confiscate all of his business records... it will be a big mess, he should just man-up and pay for crying out loud.
You should look into your states legal aid services, they may be able to help you with an attorney.
