My ex husband is behind in child support payments. I have turned the matter over to child support enforcement. It's been three months since he has started his new job and and they won't collect. CSE has the name of the company, address, and telephone number of his employer, I should know, as I provided it. I really can't afford to pay a lawyer and take him back to court. For the record to any smart butt dead beat fathers who will post answers here, I do have a job and work very hard to support my three children. The money I make only stretches so far. I have contacted CSE about the matter. I have talked to three of their associates who have told me that they have sent in the requests and that is all they can do. As for giving him 50% custody, it is not an option. He has only supervised visitation (of which he has never attended) because of the protective order against him for domestic violence and child abuse. no matter how many times i hear this on here, it always miff's me off. a deadbeat is a deadbeat, custody has nothing to do with it.
you see, they never tell you what to do or do what they fully can to enforce the order.
ok, seems to me, you need to apply some heat....
1) call your caseworker and ask:
--where you apply for interest on the arrears?
--was the case submitted for tax refund intercept?
--was the arrears reported to the credit reporting agencies yet?
2) sit down and write a letter. in it, give your contact info, case number, HIS info, arrears amount, him getting a job 3 months ago, and yet still not getting support. also, the caseworker telling you that they sent the notices and there is nothing else they can do. and ask them what they are doing about it.
then take that ONE letter and FAX it to the following:
a) your states Attorney General (link is below)
b) your states Governor (link is below)
c) your states Regional FEDERAL Child Support Office (link is below)
phone calls are useless; they are ignored, denied and forgotten. mail ends up on someones "to do" pile, but FAXES are effective. its proof you sent it and proof they recieved it, therefor, they HAVE to address it. if you cant find a fax number (most are listed online) then just call them and ask for it.
if you hear nothing in a week, fax them again. fax them weekly if need be. its the squeaky wheel that gets the oil, if ya know what i mean.
who cares if you miff' em off, just keep at them... weekly.
3) post his DEADBEAT FACE ON A DEADBEAT SITE ONLINE.
some links for you; just click on your state and find the subject you need.

http://www.familywatchdog.us/Default.asp You don't have to have a lawyer to take him back to court. Contact CSE again and ask your caseworker WHY you aren't getting your payments. If need be, sign up for Families First. You will get your money and the state will take the money out of his check, just like child support. so why don't u call CSE and yell at them? this is their job, u pay taxes for their salaries, why dont' the do anything? start asking nicely what have they done during those 3 months and who was responsible for your case. contact this person. if this person can't produce any sense contact the supervisor and so on and so on . there should be the way to complain about their bad work Give him custody of the children 50% of the time and stop wanting the support payments. You had 3 kids with him, it couldn't have been all that bad. You got the divorce, not the children. Give up the mobile phone and cable. That should save some money. you could use a professional collection agency. they do charge a fee though so be sure to get the amount upfront before signing anything. best of luck to you |
