Back Child Support Owed to me, will I get stimulous?

I am owed over $25,000 in back child support for my 16 year old son ... his father hasn't paid in YEARS but is working now. ASSUMING that he's getting a stimulus check, will it come to me instead of him? Or does anyone know where to find out?

Have you received any tax refunds from the IRS on his behalf already? If the IRS is snatching his refunds b/c he owes child support and is paying you these items, then chances are they will also tax his stimulus check and forward that to you.

If the IRS has not ever sent you his tax refunds, then you probably won't get his stimulus check.

It all depends if it is set up in their system.

Go to IRS.gov and research Stimulus Payment FAQ and see if there is any info about withholding payment due to taxes, child support, etc. owed.

If he owes that much in child support why hasn't he been incarcerated for it ? That is bulls$$$t that these lazy fathers can get away with this. I truly hope for your sake that you start getting some sort of financial support from him.

He is a piece of work for sure, it is sad that so many people get away with it. But I guess if you know how to work the system it is easy.
*sigh*

I would encourage you to contact Child Services in your state. They have the resournces to locate and go after him and the expenses will be paid by him. The State will go after him even if he lives in another state. I don't understand those fathers who just believe that they can ignore the children. It's very sad! but they should never get away with it. CALL CHILD SERVICES - PLEASE!

There is a standing order but as my son went to live with him last year he is now trying to get all of the past arrearages wiped away. I have no idea if they will, it is a waiting game at this point.

Please talk to child services [or whatever they're called] in your state about this. You should also consider retaining legal assistance. Legal Aid, if nothing else.

Funny this is brought up again, as I have just gotten more papers from his state trying to establish a new support order where I pay HIM. They don't seem to care that he owes me for 13 years of unpaid support?

I have, submitted all the papers, called the other state AGAIN, resubmitted all of those papers, he changed jobs, submitted everything to both states again, waited, submitted again, he changed jobs etc etc etc. He's been doing this since my son was young, I made the mistake of not filing as soon as my son was born because he didn't want any part of his life so I was happy to just have him out of MY life. As soon as he started demanding to see our son when he was about 2 years old, I filed, and he has hardly been forced to pay a dime. He was only supposed to pay $209 a month starting about 13 years ago, and now owes just under $25,000 ... that should tell you how much he has actually paid towards his sons support.

To be fair, I have only given my son spending money and have paid nothing towards his support since he has been living at his dads.

This whole thing depresses me!

The father of my child has been living off of me and his child. He claimed her on his taxes for three years but i amended them. He does not pay child support but i have filed now. So what i was wondering since the child is three now does he have to pay child support for the first three years of her life or does the process start now since i just filed for it.

it just starts as of now.

my ex owes me over $ 75,000 in child support there needs to be a law where the courts can pay us our money and go after the dead beats and get their money back i struggled for years raising his four children no help from him and he would be working under the table so i would not get any child support or his tax return the county i am in really dont try to get the dead beats his youngest child is now 21 years old i started trying to get child support since 1993 i have gave the county all the info they need about him. they dont seem to care about it

Sorry to hear about your issue, but look at it this way. You never know, he might win the lottery or get a big settlement from someone and you'll get that money someday. Or not. The way I look at it is you just can't plan on it.

WOW I knew I wasn't the only one out there who has a dead beat for my daughter's sperm donor... He often works under the table too just so that he doesn't have to pay. Right now he is $12,000 behind... not as bad as some of you, but I'm sure that I will be up there too someday. My daughter is only 7. The sad thing is that he keeps having more children and she is his oldest... he can't even take care of her! He doesn't even call.. well twice a month maybe.. he doesn't take her for his scheduled visitations... and yet the courts won't do anything to help out us moms who are busting our azz'z to make ends meet. Shout the courts won't even allow them to sign over all parental rights without someone else to adopt the child! My husband would... but he says he doesn't want the sperm donor to get off that easy. I do get his tax returns... when he files.. didn't file this year because he couldn't pay his tax guy the money he owed him either... so guess what that ment.. no stimulous check and no refund for my daughter!! Jerk... we should send all these guys out to war to fight the other jerks just like them....

My husband owes 15000 in back child support...NOT BECAUSE HE IS A DEAD BEAT!! The mother came forward after SEVEN years to say the child was his! he PROVED HE WASN"T HIS....YET THEY ARE STILL SUCKING US of our tax refunds and child support each month!!!!! SO not all cases are the SAME! I have a child who is from a former marriage and my ex has not paid in YEARS but was not forced to pay back support!

You would not believe the headaches that I've incured as a result of my child support case. My ex likes to work under the table therefore "untraceable" by the courts. He also skips from job to job when they are taxable. Granted he only owes a little more than $6,000 (my daughter is . I receive, then don't, ect. It is very unreliable, and very frustrateing. The fact that he has escaped jail time is beyond me, but at the same time, how can I get the money that I need if he is in jail? All the assets that he has privilege to are in his girlfriends name, yet anouther dead end. The best bet that any of us has is if "God forbid" they die, or we win the lottery. It's a sad, sad world we live in, but, hey, keep your head up, God sees. Revenge is mine sayeth the Lord. He's the only one who can do anything. P.U.S.H. (pray untill something happens)
