.i had a question about a situatuion i had with child suppport. what i am trying to find out is how do i go about asking a judge if they can garnish some of my sons fathers VA benefits? Heres the situation: in 2005 i had taken my sons father off of child support with the agreement he would pay it directly to me($100 per month) since i had a decent paying job @ the time. He was doing ok with the monthly payments w/ the exception of a few missed payments. But since he has gotten off of probation he moved to another state (Mississippi) since he has move he has not paid a dime. i no for a fact that he recieves money monthly and have been for acouple of yrs:he recievs 2,415 per month from the Va and 400 per month from the state of Md (and he doesnt even live here anymore) recently i reapplied for childsuppt. the thing is when we went to court the first time he wasnt recieving any income and the court ordered him to pay 100 monthly but now he recieves 2,800 per month- so i believe i should

Every state has different laws. The best bet would be to contact an attorney or contact your local Friend of the Court (child support court). If his income has increased it seems like th support payments should go up, however every state has their own laws. Good Luck

You can have the child support modified. Go to the Superior court of your state, you can probalby do this online and download the forms you need. Go to the clerk of the court and file. You will need to have hime served with the papers, but you can then go back before a judge and have it modified. When a child reaches the age of 12 the support whould be increased because it costs more the raise that child.

File a motion to ammend child support in the court and on the court document to modify...it usually asks what you want that person to bring or show for evidence. generally the court requests proof of income and expenses for both parties. He will have to prove his as u will. Be sure to mention what he receives for assistance monitarily from both states so they look into it and make adjustments if necessary. Dont make any more arrangements with him ...keep it in the courtroom

Call your case worker and tell her that he is making that much money now and you would like to modify the child support. It may take awhile for it to go through but it will eventually.

FIRST OF ALL YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN HIM OFF OF CHILD SUPPORT BECAUSE IT IS DESIGNED FOR YOU TO GET THE MONEY WITHOUT ALL OF THE HASSLE OF MAKE HIM PAY!! BUT IF I WERE YOU I WOULD GO BACK AND BE HONEST AND LET THEM KNOW THE KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU KNOW ABOUT HIM AND THEY WILL INVESTIGATE AND IT WILL WORK ITSELF OUT!!!!

Unfortunately, the best way you "go about" it is to call an attorney and have them do it for you.
