Anyone know about back child support?

SPNLuver83

If the court ordered an ex to pay all back child support, does this count as a structured settlement? I know he'd rather go to jail then pay and I'll never see a dime, but I'm hoping maybe those commercials i see on tv about getting money from your structured settlements could help..... :frown:

I wouldn't think so. Those are typically for lawsuits and etc. Because you're guaranteed the money (well, after litigation etc.). Those companies take a portion of your settlement.

I think all they can do is the general stuff like refuse his license renewal, seize his tax returns, bank accounts, etc. Because it's not a "sure thing", I don't think you could do a settlement, as the money isn't likely to ever come. And they'd likely take too much to be worth your while, similar to payday loan places.

all I know is if you dont give her your real name you dont have to pay.

If you can prove he's not paying, they can actually take it right out of his paychecks before he even sees the money and garnish them for it.

Unfortunately non payers (men and women) that owe a lot tend not to work jobs where they are conventionally paid. Terminal avoiders:frown:

I know they can dock his wages. I'd find a family lawyer and figure out the best course of action.

And I hope you get this resolved quickly.

THis is true, they can take it from his pay check and his tax returns. It may take some time but you will get it if you keep fighting for it.

Contact your local child services agency.
In SC they take welfare and non-welfare cases.
They have enforcement tools not available to private attorneys.

But if you can track him down, in SC even a private attorney can put him in jail for up to a year if he does not pay.

If the court ordered it, as long as he is working, he will have to pay it!! I hope you get this settled soon!

You don't want to do a structured settlement. I know a girl who decided to get her settlement (from a dog bite as a kid) in one lump sum through one of those TV companies, and she only ended up receiving a little less than half of what her original settlement was.

I would love to see the $60k plus accruing interest that asshat owes me.

meh- unfortunately ( I know bc I haven't seen a dime- and i'm going through sort of the same thing) the only way he can be FORCED to pay is thru tax intercept or if he has a job ON PAPER(at least here)...They can take the money directly from him. But if he'd really rather be in jail than pay- you probably won't see a dime. So many deadbeats

This is true..........

My stemother's ex used to purposely NOT work (or under the table), just to avoid paying.

lizzybethclaire

It wouldn't count as a structured settlement. Did the judge put it in as a judgment against your ex? Look up your state laws, hire an attorney, and go from there.

Some (SOME- So don't bash me) men are just pathetic. Quick to help create a kid but then don't want to do what it takes to help raise one. Mine (sons father) told me I was shady for filing for child support b/c I "knew it would put him behind" ...you know what they ask him to pay? $60 a month. Yeah, you read that right. And i'm shady.

MelissaE27

Good luck to you... ive been trying for years to get child support my kids are 15..17..20.. and he found a loop hole.. to get around everything.. they took his license... he works *under the table* etc.. everytime I took him to court they put on arrears and added it to what he owes monthly.. but hellooo he wont pay what he owes and you think hes going to pay the arrears??? plus I have to pay court fees to take him... things arent right.. sadly I gave up on it.. worked 2 jobs did it on my own... in time they will grow to regret not being there...... best wishes to you and your family... HUGS!

They will doc his pay, take his tax returns, and throw him in jail. At least that is what they would do to me in the state of Massachusetts if I don't pay.

What is this guys name?:bigsmile:

I would love to track him down and brake his jaw for you. :devil:

Only people that deserve to eat threw a straw deserve to not pay child support. :grumble:

He really does and he has 19 of them.

jenluvsushi

Good luck on this...mine works under the table and didn't file taxes for years to avoid paying. He also put homes, vehicles, farm equipment, bank accounts in other people’s names. After a while, I just stopped fighting. It wasn't worth it to me because even when he had to pay via court order, they still wouldn't make him. Sure they would threaten to take away his license or something but he would be warned first...all you have to do is make a payment a couple times a year and your golden in California. It wasn't a ton of money either. What is funny is that the person that helped my ex avoid his obligation is now fighting him for the same thing....you’d think she would have learned by what he did tome...karma, lol!

SPNLuver83

I've been going through this for nearly 9 years...... He owes about $13,000, and it would be a ton more if my husband didn't adopt my son 2 years back. He's always in jail, and when out never holds a legit job. The courts finally entered a judgement for him to pay back all the back child support (why this even had to happen considering it was done like 3 times already is beyond me) and for his wages to be garnished, but like i said, he will never hold a job.... he won't pay, they'll arrest him, but he won't do much time, and it won't do me any good.

I've been through all the avenues. They don't help. The "justice" system is a bunch of crap. I was hoping I could use one of those settlement companies... Half is better than none.

My mom is in the same position and was told no.

That they could only garnish his paychecks.... Guy can't keep a job. He makes Muzic.
or They could take it out of his tax refunds... guy hasn't filed taxes a year in his life

I know in GA you can get your license revoked and then thrown in jail, not sure about everywhere else. I have yet to see him thrown in jail and he stil drives without a license. He has done this to his ex-wife before, my mom and is working on his third. Complete deadbeat. I am sorry you are going through this as well.

Depending on what state you live in will decide how the Child Support System will go after a non paying parent.
In California they actually put you in jail and take your license. I would go to the Child Support Office and tell them that you want it garnished from his pay check. That way you dont have to rely on the money coming from him. They receive it and it is mailed out to you or like in Idaho, It is put on a debit card.
However, if the parent receiving Child Support is on any kind of public assistance, that money goes directly to the county office and the parent doesnt get it.
Good luck....

Mine is the same way. He even just married some chick *during his 3 yr stint in jail* , my son is 2 mind you. Pretty sure everything will go in her name (hence, why he married her) but not sure if b/c they are married if money can be taken from her (ie: taxes filed jointly or seperately)

^^^This.
My ex owed me $$$ in back child support and it completely ruined his credit. Next up was his license, so he started paying.

luv_lea

Doc their pay, take their taxes, take their license, and here in my state you can press charges (felony charges) if it's over a certain amount (5K I belive) which will eventually put them in jail. I've been told by several attorney's (in my state) if the amount is over 20K you can file to have their rights taken away, but have also been told it's still very hard to do.

^^Ditto. You make a baby - support that baby. Only A$$hats run away from their responsibilities.
