Q: Parent is on LOA from work, not paying c. support wo any documented medical reason, Can I file a MSC?
Case is with CSA, but they refuse to file a MSC until she goes back to work and refuses to pay c. support. Parent had minor hip surgery back in Apr 2019. She is healed, no complications and 8 months later still refuses to go back to work. CSA filed a motion to reduce, but Parent did not provide subpoenaed information and did not show up fo 2 hearings, case was dismissed. Parent lives alone and has bills paid and went on an island vacation recently, but still hasn't paid c. support since March 2019. Do I have any options to make her pay support? Seems like she is getting the benefit of doubt since nothing is documented, except LOA.
A: Sounds like CSEA is the problem. if she has stopped paying and there is no court order suspending her payments then she is in violation and there should be a show cause issued. you can hire a private attorney to pursue this. If you are the recipient CSEA cannot file a motion to reduce child support on her behalf, you are their client not her.
