He pays monthly child support; deducted from paycheck. I found him on Facebook and sent him copy of son’s hospital bill; been 35 days and zero response. Is he in Contempt of Court? What are my next steps? Thank you!
If the insurance is State funded, you can contact the Attorney General to enforce the Court Order. Otherwise, you need to hire a lawyer to file a Motion to Enforce the Child Support Order. He can be served out of State with the Motion to Enforce. Eventually, the Court could hold him in contempt.... Read more »
myself were dealing with our own demons, but now she is wanting back support. is this legal and how would i overcome it in the court system of Georgia?
You need to discuss your case with an attorney in order to get specific advice about your case.
Yes, in general. It's called child support.
I'm in Florida with a Florida support order. My ex fled to Puerto Rico to avoid garnishment, he is currently $100,000 in past support due. I've been looking for him for over 10 years and just found out he's back in Puerto Rico due to them garnishing his wages, suspending his license and... Read more »
Yes.
You are charged with a serious Felony. Hire a competent attorney immediately. You may be able to attack the earlier convictions, so that sentencing will not be a Felony. Obviously you need to get ready for a Preliminary Hearing and possibly later, Trial. If the State does not agree to a 2nd or... Read more »
Both parents mutually agreed that our 16 year old would move to New York and enroll in schooling. We cannot agree on a modification of support. Is there a way to have the support (and custody) modified without having to appear in court or hire a lawyer? The process seems fairly straight forward... Read more »
There should be a Joint Modification Petition and Agreement and Financial Statements of both parties and if the MDOR is involved they need to be notified as well. You can go on the state website for the forms. Child support should be under the child support guidelines which are driven by the... Read more »
That isn't enough information. In order to calculate child support, you need both parties' incomes, day care costs, education costs, medical costs, insurance costs, deviations if either party has additional children or support obligations, sports costs, extracurricular costs, tutoring, etc....

We have never had any contact with the child at the request of her mother. She also requested 5 years ago that my husband allow her husband to adopt because he is the only father she knows. He agreed it was in her best interest and we never heard anything else about it. Recently within the last... Read more »
Child support terminates upon adoption. They are refunding you.
I’ve been paying my wife court ordered child support since March 2019. I haven’t missed one payment and she just now decided to go through the state and let them take care of it. I received a notice in the mail for a redirection of child support from the state. They stated that I failed to pay... Read more »
Garnishment only should have been possible if you fell behind. Make a chart showing every payment you made and print every cancelled check. Then hire a. child support attorney.
I dated this girl for only a few weeks. She showed her true colors an i quickly realized I didn’t want a relationship with her so we parted ways. This has been about 3 years ago.

I would recommend you get off facebook and wait until you get served. Then hire an attorney immediately.
My ex husband owes me $1500 a month in child support arrears from September 2017 until February 2019 when I had to give custody to my mom bc I couldn’t take care of him without support.
Hire a private attorney or call Support Enforcement at the D.A.'s office.
$16000.00 dollars
It sounds like you have unpaid support, or arrears, that you're expected to pay off. If you're confused, you should be able to obtain an answer from Domestic Relations.
There is no court-ordered custody agreement but the father does pay child support and the child is with the mother more than 50 percent of the time. Does the father still have the same custodial rights as the mother?
Yes, until someone goes to court and gets a custody judgment.
Assuming that there is a current court order on timesharing, you must go to court in order to move to another state. As part of the modification child support will be recalculated. You will need to show the court that the move is in the best interests of the child.
Puerto Rico, but the father was the one to submit the peticion requesting child support?
Hello and thank you for using JUSTIA. The jurisdiction belongs to the Court that issued the child support order or has a pending case where the child is a resident. If an order to pay child support has been issued then that issuing Court will have continual and exclusive jurisdiction on said matter... Read more »
Me to send my daughter with the child support money when she goes with him on the weekend. Is this legal ??? Am I missing something ?
This is ridiculous. Your child should not be getting harassed by her father about child support. He has no right to get the child support back. Ask him in writing to stop doing this. Good luck.
I pay child support & what I have left is little for She does not allow me to talk to my children. She has me blocked on phone and video chatting. What do I need to do to get my kids back.
You do not say whether you have a court order regarding timesharing. If you do then you need to return to the court that issued the timesharing order and seek enforcement.
I knew it would take a little longer because I live in Florida and the father lives in California but I didn't expect it to take 10 months to get a hearing.
You should get child support from the day that you filed with the court. Under certain circumstances the court can also look back two years.
You will need to petition the court with your request. Have your evidence spelled out then contact an attorney in your area.
His mom filed for over $500 a month in child support and stated our assets are over $150,000 in the home. She claims only $500/mth income but she also gets disability. (1) can she get child support when he is living with me? (2) She's asking for an large amount for the home. Can she force me to pay... Read more »
If the child is here with you in Kentucky, you can file here in Kentucky. None of the things she told you are true but you need to hire an attorney and file quickly.
