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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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:
