What is the best way to get child support from non custodial parent?

The attorney general has a case open but every month I never get the amount I'm suppose to get or I don't get it at all. The absent father avoids my calls, but when he wants to speak to his kids he calls and I let him talk to them. I don't understand how he can live in Austin,Tx have a cell phone, buy a new car and not pay child support. I have told the AG office about this but they let it slide every month asking me to get details about him. Yet they get paid to work for attorney general so why do I have to do all the investigative work?What is the best way to get child support from non custodial parent?
and theres your first mistake, phone calls or letters.... you will ALWAYS need to stay on top of it, for they are so loaded down with cases (deadbeats, millions of them) it just helps them be more effective, thats all.





its worth it.





-----------





well the honor system doesnt work, thats been proven. its also why the state and federal government passed stronger laws for child support; they are TIRED of people not paying for their children.





the arrears still keep adding up.





1) call your caseworker and ask:


--request an enforcement hearing.


--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?


--ask why they have not taken his drivers license away yet?


--ask why they have not put liens on his bank accounts yet?


--ask why there has not been a warrant issued yet?





2) 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.





keep the letter short, its more effective that way.





then take that ONE letter and FAX it to the following:


a) BOTH your states Attorney General (link is below)


b) BOTH your states Governor (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 鈥榚m off, just keep at them until the problem is addressed.





3) Report his azz to the IRS (in writing), for he鈥檚 supporting himself, somehow. Tell them you strongly suspect him working under the table to avoid a child support order.





4) Report his azz to the Social Security Office if he鈥檚 been using others SS#.





4) post his DEADBEAT FACE ON A DEADBEAT SITE ONLINE.





some links for you; just click on your state and find the subject you need.

Thank you so much everyone. Your thoughts are very appreciated. Yvette B. you are awesome. I'm new to this yahoo answers thing so I don't know how to vote for your comment, but thanks so much. I am saving your response so I can note all the advice given. Thank you thank you thank you !!!!

Report Abuse

Go to womanspace.org, search for women's groups or a divorced women's support group. Don't let them steal your child's rights, harass them until they do something, call his employer, call child support in Austin. You can't interfere with his contact with the children, but you can make his family aware of his disregard for their grandchildren. Good Luck!
It's this way in every state, some worse than others. The only thing you can do is keep on them and keep on them. Ask them to attach any tax returns. If the past due amount becomes substantial, you can take him to court and ask a judge to attach his property, real and other. Remember that there is no statute of limitations on child support. He will have to pay you eventually even if it comes from the proceeds of his estate after he dies.
child support is a joke they dont do anything about anything i have the same problem and since he married a chick with 6 kids (all different daddies) and they recieve welfare the child support office says they cannot enforce the child support order. its all crap unfortunatly you just have to keep on them and maybe in your case they will get on it but dont hold you breathe.
