Cincinnati, OH asked in Child Support for Ohio

Q: Father of my son is behind $22,000 in child support and he has recently switched jobs and has not been paying

In his past job they were taking it out and I was getting weekly payments of $128.25, but since he has switched jobs I have received nothing all year so far, I have called, emailed HCJFS numerous times and can never get a returned call or any assistance. I am a single mom that needs this and I need someone to help me with getting him to pay.

A: Try calling your local prosecutor about a potential non-support charge. The specter of criminal prosecution often compels people to pay.
