can child support place a hold on you r bank account if you pay every week?

Answer 1

Judy is correct. If you are behind in or in arrears then they can not only freeze an account but take the money in it and apply it to the arrears.

ALWAYS DOCUMENT EVERYTHING and make every payment on time.

***I can not say this enough:***
DOCUMENT ~ DOCUMENT ~ DOCUMENT everything!!!!!

Pay consistantly, on time each month. DO NOT GIVE CASH.
Always pay by money order or check and keep copies of the receipts, money order stub, and cleared checks of EVERYTHING YOU HAVE PAID.

***If you pay directly to ex then get a file and keep organized records of every child support payment.***
***Keep receipts of everything you buy your children because EVERYTHING you buy can be applied to your child support arrears***if there is any. Never say it was a gift ~especially if there are arrears.

If there are arrears then the x can file to get income tax refund so don't file jointly with your new spouse unless the tax company you use documents it so the irs does not take your new spouses part of the refund. not sure about that but you will have to ask a cpa.

In some cases it it better to go through the child support enforcement office because it holds both sides accountable BUT if you ever get behind on a payment they will become the child support payee's enemy and no matter what your x is doing will not matter cause THEY WANT THE MONEY.

KEEP GOOD RECORDS on visits, children behaviors, phone calls, money, time spent and not spent together & etc.

The states look at child support and visitation as seperate so keep good records on both. You will thank me for this in years to come.

Look at this web site...print it off and glean from the information that can help you. It will show your rights. Don't be concerned with who it is for just the good information. I like it cause of it's lay out and simple to understand.

Answer 2

If you mean that your payments are current, no. If you're behind but are paying something every week, yes they can.
