Katy...if you know he has a nice home, 2 cars, etc., sounds like you know where he is. Can you use those items to track him down?

yes i have any info you might need address telephone# ss#

please give me a call Personal information removed for your protection, Shazzers

Katy, then you might want to turn that over to an attorney or legal aid. All we can do here is share our experiences, in turn, which might help you, but since you know where he is, IMHO, your best bet would be to talk with an attorney to see what recourse you have.

What really bites is when a Father does the right thing by giving his ex a payment directly from his pay check and then 18 mo later she "Forgets" that he paid and goes to the court and says "I never got paid", now she earns a Good salary ($20+/hr) and is remairried and current husband gets a Good salary ($20+/hr). Meanwhile through wage garnishment (currently earning $10/hr)he has lost his license, Never see's his son and is now homeless. What does he have left, well i can tell you that the subject of suicide has entered his mind. All it takes is for her to acknowledge the fact that she did receive that money, correct it with the courts and he has no issue paying child support because he Does believe in the right thing. All this because he did not go through the court to begin with, he wanted to make it simple and easy.

Ladies, Ive been a victim also but recently i found out if any dead beat dad has money tied up in probate over an inheritance or money owed to him-CS doesnt even know unless you call and tell them so they can put a garnishment attached(just dont get the garnishment too early or whatever is entered will not go up in value as the months pass and he owes more!!-get the attorneys name and contact him first before calling CS),If there is a warrant-police dont even go pick them up even if they know where they live-they wait for a traffic stop,If you dont do YOUR part and ASK every question possible-CS wont tell you anything-they like easy cases. You may have to go as far as turning in companies that pay these guys cash-take videos-Start by emailing your Governor how wrong the system is and you want your case investigated NOW. Truely this is the only way WE can get the DEAD beat CS to help US.Im going to turn both the dads im dealing with into the IRS because they both do not file income taxes because they work for cash. Anyways let me know if any thing helps that i havent thought of Thanks

I can tell you that in Ohio the department that handles child support WILL garnish SSI. My ex owed me 21k and once he was flagged, I started to receive about $395 per month, even though my kids have aged out of child support. My case worker always told me that I would eventually get the back payments - even if it came ot of social security. You just have to keep up with the laws in your state and keep hounding your case workers to follow the laws as they are written.

i heard that if the person who owes child support also owes the irs any money or any1 else money, the irs will take there money first, child support would be last priority....or the person didnt file...sumtimes people who owe money will get an off the books job to avoid payin CS.

i had a similar situation except it was in our divorce decree that he pay me monthly but when he was discharged from the army he stopped calling and paying and i thought good. but then i was like hold on here how dare he do this so i called the state and went after him and they are taking all his 6 years of back pay out of taxes and he pays me monthly with a penalty so he is paying alot. he still hasnt seen his son and barley calls but at least now brayden can get the things he deserves. call the court house ask for the child inforcement agent and they can really help you out, or point you in the right direction. good luck

Like most of you women here, I have custody of my kids from a previous relationship. I originally declined child support because I was in a better position to take care of the two girls. Then their mother tried fighting me for custody two years later (and lost), but the state stepped in and ordered her to pay child support (double-whammy on her part). I received payments here and there, but now she is over $27K in rears. She has played the system like many have, getting jobs under the table, job bouncing, etc. But now that she is remarried, I wonder if her new husband knows everything going on. Even with all of this, I haven't mentioned any of this to the girls... and no parent should. I have completely encouraged my girls to know their mom and love her. I grew up in a broken home, and know first hand about one parent smash-talking the other parent to the child. It's hard, but this is where we need to put our differences aside and raise the child(ren) with complete affection and negativity. The kids will learn on their own. After all, everything my mom said about my dad was true. I have learned that the non-custodial parent who doesn't pay child support, will be reported to the credit agencies to have it reflected upon their credit report. But that still doesn't solve our problem. The fact that today there are almost 26% of moms who owe child support that don't pay as compared with almost 24% of dads. All in all, we are all in the same boat.

It starts from the date the child was born. I know because I just went through all of this.

My ex owes me $19,000 in back child support. He fought me for joint custody then up and left the state.( he just wanted his child support payments to be lower) He has been working under the table for years so as to not pay child support. I am at the point where I am going to go ahead and pay a private company to go after him. They charge 30%of what they collect which is insane but I see no other alternative. Have any of you had any experience with companies like this?
