child support?
I have a child with a guy that has not had a job since 1993 when the child was born. I needed help with my child so I got a check from the state for about a year. when doing so they set child support for him to pay back the money and set his support at 25 dollars a week.
He did not pay it back and now the child support is over $10,000 and last year the state put me to jail and took my DL’s when going to court the judge released me and set a court date and ordered them to give me my DL’s back. the day before the court date if was put off and we still have not went back to court for this.Now I got a child support payment at my job that $66 dollars was being taken out of my check for child support and back pay. (the child is with me) I called the child support office and they told me they made an administrated decision and I need to pay this back. My Question is can they do this? I have court papers that has the judgment that I didn’t have to pay this back.
Woe, that is a very important question. I have never heard of this one unless the father and mother where living together in the same household.
They are treading new water and it should be challenged.
P.S. Don’t make any deals with CSS or the father on the money HE owes in child support. Even if your child is grown and gone they can collect the money and pay you the amount he owes. They will catch up with him.
I couldn’t follow your question. In the first paragraph it sounded like your ex boyfriend owed you child support money. In the second paragraph it sounds like you either are the ex boyfriend or he has custody and you owe him money. Sorry I couldn’t answer. I dont’ understand
I would check with the State Attorney General’s Office- Child Support Division.
First make sure you have all your facts straight and bring all papers concerning your case. Make sure you explain all the facts to an investigator and see what they can do for you.
A court can do anything it wants until it is challenged and appealed to a higher court. Don’t ask us, ask a higher court.
I amconfused with your question. You have the child… Since the beginning? If the other party had the child for a period of time and you did not – You should have to pay for the time that you did not contribute – Children cost daily… If the other party was solely responsible for the cost of maintaining a life for the child – they should be reinbursed… Besides, this is YOUR CHILD that your talking about – Your Future Generation for years to come – What do you want you child to look back on and remember about you? Remember they didn’t ask to be born – It was definately a mutual act and they deserve to have a better life than what “we” as parents have had. I want my children to be better than me as adults… Good Luck to you and I hope that this helped.
get a lawyer and sew the father and child support enforcement if the fathers names is on the birth record he had better been paying taxes sounds if the lawyer takes the cake you won
I have never heard of a former recipient of social assistance having to pay back monies over 10 years later unless they were not entitled to the assistance in the first place. (False information) If you and the child’s father were not married or living together at the time, you should not legally be held responsible for the monies paid to you by the state.
But honey, if you only received public assistance for a year, how did the unpaid support (payable by the father to social services) rise to $10,000? There is either something wrong with your story, or something wrong with the social assistance records. Time to retain a lawyer..
Go to a legal advisor like a public lawyer They will help you. But I know for a fact that the most recently dated document holds up in court. (Or should) why don’t you sue for custody?
That just sounds totally bizarre!! What state do you live in? Well I am in Pa and I have my pa child support handbook in front of me and the child support enforcements are
~Income-withholding from non-custodial parent
~License suspension of the non-custodial parent if their income can’t be attached with a garnish and are at least 3 months late on payment
~Tax refund intercept of non-custodial parent
~passport denial of non-custodial parent if they owe more than $5,000
~Seizure of financial assets of non-custodial parent
~Publication of name of non-custodial parents who are at least 30 days late
~Child Support Recovery Act-the federal law makes it a crime to deliberately not pay support for a child who lives in another state, if the non-custodial parent owes more than $5,000 in over-due support
All of the stuff that has happened to you, only should happen to the non-custodial parent as told here in my handbook. I would contact a lawyer ASAP. I would also contact your governer
I have a website to further explain
The home site to that site is
but again I am in Pa and all state laws are different you could try contacting them and asking if your state is different maybe they could give you some advice.
Did you also try your Domestic relations office in your courthouse?
I hope I was some help to you good luck!
you need to contact the Regional FEDERAL Child Support Office regarding this matter.
the law clearly states; HE is to pay all money owed (thats why your court order says so).
1) sit down and write a letter. in it, give your contact info, case number, his info, arrears amount, the problem and ask them what they are doing about it.
Tell them they have no right to do so, and they are supposed to be going after the deadbeat parent. Ask them what the State and Federal Laws are on the matter. Ask them what the status and progress of enforcing the deadbeat to pay is on the file.
keep the letter short (VERY short), its more effective that way.
then take that ONE letter and FAX it to the following:
a) BOTH your states Attorney Generals (link is below)
b) BOTH your states Governors (link is below)
c) BOTH 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 until the problem is addressed.
2) Report his azz to the IRS (in writing), for he’s supporting himself, somehow. Tell them you strongly suspect him working under the table to avoid a child support order.
3) Report his azz to the Social Security Office if he’s been using others SS#.
4) post his DEADBEAT FACE on a DEADBEAT SITE online.

you are a little all overthe place. but from what I got , they are having you pay back the child support. for him, ok just make a payment you can afford klike 25$ a pay period and then appeal it
Yes they can do this. When applying for any sort of state assistance if they can get the money back they will. Like the child support. When you get state assistance they usually look to the father to pay it back, and if they can’t they will go after you for it. If you had just been married or something to this guy and needed help they wouldnt ask for it back but since there was a means to pay it back then yes they will try.
I sorta went through this. when i went to the DCSE to make sure my child support got paid by my ex they asked me if i had ever recieved state assistance either medical, cash or food cause if i had they were going to take from my child support what had been used by me years prior.
