Sorry for your pain. But I hope you have at least learned a very important lesson that all too many divorced parents never learn: that ALL parents are responsible for and must support all their children--until the children reach the age of 18. Period.
All parents who shirk their parental... View More

Do you mean you have a child support lien which was paid off with the stimulus check? If your lien was over $1,200.00 then you will not receive anything.
I receive a minimum SSDI income, and have one dependent child. I also have one 21yo son for whom I am responsible for arrearages in the state of FL. The arrearages are deducted automatically via ssdi garnishments and have been made every month to include payments prior to his 18th bday since 2012,... View More

Sorry, but as I understand it the stimulus checks will be subject to child support garnishments, in the same way that income tax refunds are.

In calculating the amount of child support you will be required to pay, the child support you owe on account of the other children will be taken into account. Just be sure they know about the other children.
My stimulus check was taken in full and applied to my husbands back child support. My question is i file injured spouse every year how do i go about getting my portion back?
answered on Apr 12, 2020
Contact the IRS about filing an injured spouse form. It appears that the form has not yet been updated to deal with stimulus checks, so either fill it out as best you can, or ask them for clarification.
Dad is in PA, they always have favored him as I'm a single mom, then of 4. Since I'm a nurse, it's not "fair" I ask for support my case worker said. Heard her tell him to keep helping me... he never helped me. He is a narcissist and everyone loves him. Hr is a felon as ge... View More

Did the court approve the child support of $50.00? If no, you need to hire a family law attorney to get a court order for the proper amount. If yes, then there is nothing you can do because the court has ordered the $50.00. You can request a modification, but child support is statutory calculation... View More
Not including car spending $112 on groomingp
answered on Apr 10, 2020
"Car spending" and "grooming" are not assets. Those are expenses.
Regardless, if the financial affidavit is sworn to, intentionally lying on the affidavit constitutes a crime. My suggestion is to seek a family law attorney's advice and hire them to properly respond to discovery.
My ex girlfriend has a permanent injunction against me for almost 2 years now. My 5 year old son is included on it as well so I have not had any contact with him for 2 years.

They said they can't find dad. I gave them all but where he works. Social, original court order, date of birth, paternity test and address. Florida said not good enough

Sounds like you being entitled to eight years of back child support makes your case important enough to encourage you want to hire an experienced lawyer to find your ex--and stop waiting for Florida. Florida will still be here to collect for you--after you finally find the father of your children.
I live in Florida and my kids live in Virginia. I am supposed to take them for spring break, but considering the current pandemic situation and with the checkpoints at the Florida state border I felt it was unsafe for the kids to be traveling. I am an essential worker and have frequent contact with... View More

In general, no; your visitation rights don't REQUIRE you to exercise visitation.
Yes I had a disagreement with my ex back in 2001 and got behind the judge put 50 bucks on arrears and since she turned 19 in 2010 I been paying that arrears and havent missed a payment
answered on Apr 6, 2020
I am confused. Are you saying that your total child support lien was $50.00 starting in 2001? How have you not paid that off in nearly 19 years?
If you only owe a minimal amount I presume that once the lien is satisfied, any left over will be sent to you from the stimulus check. If you... View More

Yes. It's called child support. He can be ordered to pay. Contact the Florida Department of Revenue.
answered on Mar 31, 2020
You need to return to the court that issued the child support order and ask that it be updated. Then, with or without their help you can submit the order to the credit reporting bureaus.

It sounds like they are saying that your child support case is closed. You need to follow up with Washington state for an explanation.

No, you can't "change jurisdiction". The Uniform Child Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act, which has been adopted by both states, would require that jurisdiction remain with the West Virginia court.

You need to file a Petition for Paternity in your local court to protect your rights. The court will consider what has happened over the past four years when it decides on a timesharing plan for the child. Child support is a right of the child and will be ordered based on each parent's net... View More
