Ex owes 20,000 in child support will ssi erase his arrears?

Question

My ex husband is filing for ssi or ssdi, im not sure which one, i understand his current support will no longer exsist while he is on and that I will get a portion for kids. My question is what happens to the 20,000 he owes in arrears. He is only filing ssi(pretending to be bipolar which he has fooled all the doctors and he has gone to extremes for a over a year) to get a lump sum of money for himself and he told me he will no longer owe me current or BACK child support. He said he will stay on for a year or so just enough to get his "stuff" together. Pay his bills get his liscense back( that child efforcement took away), buy a car, wipe away the back and current child support, etc.

Can you report fraud to social securtiy?
How can this be fair? If he goes on ssi for a short time and they wipe out his arrears and then he gets a great job, wins the lottery or whatever and has no obligation to his child support arrears????? This just doesnt seem right.

We lost our home when he stopped paying child support and had to move to a different state, its been hard on the kids but after 2 years we are starting to adjust. I just feel its so unfair..i wouldnt care if i only got an extra 20 bucks a week on the arrears...its just the right thing to do. My (our) 4 kids deserve better! He dont see it that way! Thanks for all your answers it will help me sleep a little better at night.

Answer 1

They should take child support out of his check every month ....Never listen to what an EX tells you they always lye just to piss us off I know been through the same thing with my EX...Your best bet is to call the child support enforcement agency so they know whats going on....Back support NEVER goes away even after the child is 18 or the child is adopted
in till the whole amount is paid

Let him think it will be gone he`ll get a big shock when it don`t go away and they take it out of his check

Answer 2

For me, it would depend on what the issues were as to whether or not he was a good father. If it is because of abuse or neglect or endangerment, I would go to court and fight like hell to get sole custody and no visitation rights for him - a good lawyer would probably be able to do that if you have the proof of his problems with being a good parent. The court can order a psychological exam to determine if there are outstanding issues that should be considered. Second, that money is for your child, and it is for his benefit. He is a deadbeat dad and there are laws in many states regarding this issue. I believe in many states, the dads are put in jail until they pay up - or the courts can begin the process of having the money garnished from his wages. Look into this. Again, a GOOD lawyer would be advising you on these things. But I wouldn't be giving up just for "peace"... there really will be no peace from him if you give in... he'll just keep hurting you and his son as things progress and he sees he can get his way. If he is truly a bad father (especially if he has psychological problems that can be proven with a court appointed psychiatrist's opinion), I would only support supervised visitations at the very most - and I'd have a lawyer fighting for me in that respect. Your ex should pony up and be a man about his responsibilities. Looks like his efforts to wear you down are working. Trouble is, you may get sole custody, but that won't mean he can't see the kids or have visitation. It will be what the court orders,

Answer 3

The child support agency can place a lien on his back payment if they act in time. Contact them ASAP. He will still owe the arrears and the child support office may be able to garnish a portion of his check each month to pay on arrears.

Answer 4

People are so quick to be nasty and obviously not do any type of research.

Here are a few facts that may help you. SSD/SSDI Social Security Disability Insurance is what is paid into when you have enough work credits to qualify you for disability, This is considered Income for child support purposes and can and will be attached to satisfy either current or past due child support.

SSI Supplemental Security Income is a needs based income for indigent disabled poor people (Like Welfare) with few resources who can not work or have not worked long enough to have enough credits to collect regular disability Insurance. SSI is a means tested program. SSI can NOT be attached to satisfy child support obligations neither current or arrearages (Back Support) as it is not considered income for the purposes of calculating child support obligations.

SSD/SSDI is paid from Insurance paid into when a person works. This is part of the FICA (Federal Insurance Corporation of America) Federal deduction.
SSI is paid from the United States Treasury General Fund and affords poor people just enough income to sustain themselves.

Contrary to some of the things people feel or think about SSD/SSDI or SSI It is EXTREMELY hard to qualify for any of these programs. Where people use to be able to count on receiving the help when they become disabled Now it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to be approved and in fact the actual disability DENIAL RATE stands at 90%.

People also don't get to decide for themselves how long they can be on or receive disability doctors and other professionals decide that and if there's a chance he will get better, They will make periodic reviews (CDR) Continuing Disability Reviews to determine whether or not there is improvement and he can be cut off or even have to pay it back. They are cracking down on abuse and fraud.

I hope this helps you understand I little more about how these programs work.

Answer 5

don't worry- won't happen-- child support(arrears)-- and student loans and such- are things that aren't changable-- example:: if somebody files for bankruptcy-- those things can't be forgiven- if that makes sense..
he will still owe the arrears....of 20,000.
In other words::
He's making it up!!!!! and he has no clue

Answer 6

My dear you have been given wrong information???Child support arrears are never wiped away ,this i know for sure......Don't lesson to anything he tells u.....hes misleading you.My advice keep maintenance informed of all your husbands doings.I doesn't matter how many years u wait,that money is yours.Just remember to keep child support office aware off any monies hes expecting...they,ll get him......

Answer 7

It's not you he owes it's the child he owes!! He's still entitled to pay for his child, what makes him think differently? It's not right, I don't think they will erase the arrears he owes. I would talk to a Lawyer about this and then take his sorry**** to court, it's his responsibility as much as yours to support his child. HE OWES YOU and that's all there is to it. Get what's owed to you, don't give up!!!!!!!

Answer 8

Texting lets you control the tone and establish what kind of conversation you want to have. Learn here https://tr.im/FKhje
This is probably the most important part. With texting, you can stop and think about what you want to say to your ex at each step of the way. Instead of reacting emotionally, you can take your time, figure out the right thing to say (I’ll give you most of it), and be strategic with your ex without saying something that you’ll regret.

Answer 9

no. won't happen. when a person goes on ssi two debts are protected, student loans and child support. ssa will garnish his check. of course, the state in question will be required to file the paperwork.

Answer 10

Child support, Taxes and students loans HAVE to be paid back. Take him to court. He cannot get out of paying for his children.
