How can my daughter get any joy with the child support agency?

Question

She rings the agency once a week and they say her ex does not reply to their mail. So does anyone know the next step.As this has been going on for a year now.

Answer 1

she should move forward with the courts to have his wages garnished

Answer 2

It sounds like the child support agency isn't trying too hard. have you been to court about this? They should be able to find him. Try zabasearch.com. It will list all the places he lives(address,phone number, and birth date to see if he's the right one your looking for). Then try to find where he works, and if you get this information then take it to court, and they will garnish his pay. Does your daughter work? Maybe she should stop trying to find this guy, and just take care of her child the best she can. How old is the child? Try google.com for some programs in your area that may be able to help with clothes, diapers(if needed), food, etc. If she has a child under 5 then W.I.C. (Woman, Infants, Children) will help with food for her, and her child If you live next to a salvation army then they are great for helping people in need. also check to see if there are private groups that try to get child support from fathers. it will be a group of mothers that have been burned by child support agencies that don't offer much help or assistance. Good Luck.

Answer 3

There is an angency based out of elkhart, IN called child support recovery service. They will take I think like 20% of all monies recovered, however, they will make his life a living hell. They will write, call, call and write his friends, family, employer etc. until he gives in. If he is 10k or more behind, then they will get a warrant for his arrest. They have an excellent recovery rate and it is at no out of pocket expense to your daughter. As I said, when the money starts coming in, they take their cut off the top. It may seem high, however, she is getting nothing now, so 80% compared to that is great. Also, they help anyone in any part of the U.S., not just IN residents.

Answer 4

Really a partner should be there for you when you are having a difficult time. That is what relationships are all about. Its understanding he is hesitant becaus he may feel that if you through another patch then you may push him away again. Read here https://tr.im/djSqQ

I am going through something similar, but she hasnt made any contact to come back to me, and I know even though I may want her, I would be hesitant because of the possibility of going through the same thing again.

I dont know how long you have been apart, but dont pester him to get back with you, although it would be good for you to let him know your feelings, and that you are sorry for pushing him aside.

If he is willing to chat, then great, if he is reluctant, just offer to be a friend maybe, but you have to know that it does not mean he will come back to you.

He will care about you, even after what iv gone through...feelings dont just dissapear no matter what he may say. Stick in there. only time will tell.

If you get another chance, then make the most of it and never let him go awain because if you do, he will never come back. I really hope it works out for you. Its a difficult thing to go through.

Answer 5

1st she needs to try and get to speak to the person actually in charge of her case ( good luck tho!) the csa are a complete joke, my daughter is now 21 and the csa tried to get money from her father since 1993, we have never had any money from him cos they say they can't trace him, at the end of the day they can trace the absent parent if they want to, there is ways of doing it, but i think for the csa it is too much trouble, they seem to attack the parent that has been paying, and not worry about the ones that don't bother. They can find out where he works and take the money straight from his wages. good luck to your daughter, i think she is going to need it

Answer 6

Dear muriel waggot. I can understand the frustration with the C.S.A., but they are understaffed, under resourced, and totally a load of rubbish. Your daughter is lucky to be able to speak to a member of staff, some only get the phone ringing all the time. Sometimes its feels like your banging your head against a brink wall. There is possible one way of getting this dealt with, if your daughters husband has been ordered to pay maintenance by the court, you could go back to court and ask for a summons for him to appear. The second is for a solicitor to take a letter from the C.S.A and deliver it direct to his door, thirdly you can get a case against him and go to the County court again asking for a Simmonds for him to attend. If he fails to appeal at either court, you can ask your solicitor to ask for a warrant of arrest for your ex husband. sorry but that is the only ideas I can find to help you in your time of need, Good Luck.....David

Answer 7

The next step is to go to court or anyone who is in charge. If it is a child support agency then go to manager directly or in writing. If through the court ask them to enforce the payments. If he ever will show up he can get arrested for non payment. You have to push those bastards in the agency to the limit or they will do nothing. They only enforcing things if it is in their interests. Good luck.

Answer 8

For starters, go to your MP.

The CSA has quite draconian powers, if they choose to use them.

There is a case going through the courts at the moment over the liability of the CSA if it fails to perform there duties correctly, I wont go into the legal reasoning here as it's complex, however if may be that the CSA will be liable if it is incompetent.

Answer 9

Next step is nothing, they're a joke. My ex used to ignore their mail and when he moved and was living with his parents they got hold of him there, oh yeah I actually gave them the phone number to contact him, might be worth a try.

They only really got involved when he went back to work and didn't start paying me anything, think it's taken at source now so he can't not pay. I got blamed so pointed out that in fact they would be informed he'd started to work again and as I hadn't been in touch to say he was paying me something off his own back they took matters into their own hands.

Good luck but don't hold your breath!

Answer 10

move on if he doesnt wanna be a father and take care of his kid screw him his lose. I send my ex wife about $200 more a month then child support was gonna give her just so she doesnt take me to court for child support. The first thing that come outta my paycheck is "Jordan's Money" I get a good feeling from knowing everything my son needs diapers, food, clothes. If some idiot doesnt want his child in his life or doesnt wanna pay for him screw him he is the one missing out. Your better off so the kid doesnt end up like him.

Answer 11

Want to know how to get your ex back? Change yourself. Don't worry about changing other people, worry about changing yourself. Go to https://tr.im/Qlwgj

Once you do that then you can start to worry about getting back together with your ex, other wise you will find that you are fighting about all the same things and getting no where. Do what it takes and I promise things will work out in your favor.

The funny thing is I came to the realization that I had to change a little too late. After I was kicked out and after I was about to lose the only things that truly mattered to me - her love. A funny thing happens when we truly love someone and lose them. We do what ever it takes to get them back. For me I had to drop bad habits that had caused not only our relationship to sour but practically every other relationship I had had in the past. Not only with women, but with friends, co-workers, family, you name it.

Which is why I say to you as my ex at the time said to me, the only thing you can do is change yourself. Work on yourself and improve on the person that you already are. Drop the negative things in your life that don't belong there and you will see all of your relationships start to take off to new heights.
