I need a pro bono attorney for Child Support arrears collection in San Diego, CA?

Question

I have just lost a case to a deadbeat dad who has gone on SSI here in California. Since we separated he said that he would go on it so i wouldn't take nothing away. I can take care of my daughter myself, but since he is the father and it takes two to make a baby, it is also his responsibility. I understand that SSI is not a great deal, but there has to be some law or someone that can help me here in San Diego, CA. He has to be accountable for what he owed before he started receiving SSI.

Is it true that if the child support order was suspended because he has SSI, then i can't take him to court to pay the arrears? That is what the Child Support agency told me when i called them. I think he should still be responsible and find a way to pay it. The law says that they (child support) can not garnish and SSI Check.

Answer 1

nope, the arrears doesnt go away. they should not close the case if there are arrears due.

SS and Child Support (link is below)

seems to me, that you need to sit down and write a letter.

in it, give your contact info, case number, his info, the arrears amount and that they closed your case. tell them you want leins on his property or something done about this. ask them what they can do about this matter.

then FAX it to the following:

1) your states Attorney General
2) your states Governor
3) your caseworkers supervisor
4) your Regional FEDERAL Child Support Office

all of the links for it are below: keep in mind, phone calls are ignored, denied or forgotten. mail ends up in someones 'to do' pile, but FAXs are effective. its proof you sent it and proof they recieved it. therefor, they HAVE to address this problem. if you dont know the fax number, call and ask them for it. most websites have it right on there (some hide it), but i will try and find them for you....

Answer 2

The child could be entitled to benefits through social security. I've done child support in Arizona where a father was on SSD (Social Security Disability) and the child received SSI (Supplemental Security Income) because her father is disabled. Check with Social Security. It probably would pay more than he would have to pay anyway.

Answer 3

Have you talked to child services? They are the ones who helped me get mine when i went on welfare for a brief time. They want the money as much as you do. And SSI is supposed to pay child support to the child since the father can't support them. Talk to the SSI office near you too to see what they say.

Answer 4

You can find reasonably-priced vacation houses for rent in the Pacific Beach and Mission Beach areas. Most of these are right on the beach, or within 2-3 blocks of it, and are less than 30 minutes from Sea World, the San Diego Zoo, Old Town, and great shopping spots. The boardwalk stretches from MB to PB, which does tend to make it a popular spot for locals during the weekends and summer (ie. It gets crowded!) I've had friends and family of different ages stay for about 2 weeks in one of these vacation rentals in PB, and they had a great time. They spent about 1/2 their time on the beach, and the other 1/2 seeing the sights. Hope you enjoy your trip!!
