I have a child with a US soldier, who is not in her life (we are in the same state still), I filed for child support in July. My case worker has sent numerous letters for him to contact them. He hasn't. He hasn't filled out any paperwork that has been sent to him. I finally called his batallion and they in turn, made him call.
I was told we would both be sent a finance packet to fill out and send back in. I did and today I received a letter that from SRS that said:
"This is to advise you that your Child Support case has been referred for legal action."
I'm not quite sure why this happened or what it means. And being that I can't call til Monday, I thought I'd ask on here. Is it because he is still not cooperating? Like not filling out the necassary paperwork to get the ball rolling for child support?
If that's the case, what exactly should I expect now? Court? Should I call his 1st Sgt. again? Thanks in advance for your answers!

The "Service" intends for their soliders to do what is right .. including paying child support.
If you contact anyone .. do not contact his 1st Sergeant ... contact a general office .. a higher position .. who can give you legal facts .. and guidelines .. for this type of situation.
The legal notification could represent several things. It may be legal filings to get the child support started .. but don't worry about it. You have the real proof ... the child is his .. and he owes child support.
A DNA test may be called for .. if he is not your husband .. but that is ok, too .. because as the saying goes ... "the proof is in the pudding" .. meaning .. the DNA tells the truth.

He might want a paternity test. Don't get his sgt. involved. That is a low blow, that is like someone going to your boss and telling him/her your personal business. The ball has started to roll and you will be getting notification about what is going on... You might need to get a lawyer or a representive.

it's just an informal letter stating the proceedings for legal action have begun. such a summons and complaint has been filed and in the process of being served.

Its means your will be getting a court date soon. So you should make sure you have an expense sheet of what it cost to care for your child. example housing,clothes,food,health,entertainment,etc.

i used to be in the military and i think tis means he and maybe you will have to go to court. nothing to worry about though. he will have his check garnished for this amount minus child support's fee (yes they have a fee.) good luck

At this point you need to seek the advice of an attorney.
Good luck.
