I did not bring proof that I paid her judge took her favor she said I didn't pay her child for 15 months which turned out to be 3700 in back pay child support but I have copies of checks for around 2000 since that date she told the judge

Why didn't you bring your proof to court? About all you can do is ask for a re-hearing at which you can offer your proof. You will want to hire a lawyer who is familiar with your local court system and the way to best present your case to the judge in question. You want a lawyer who has... View More

Child support is typically withheld from your wages by your employer pursuant to a court order. When your employer sends the withheld amount directly to the State Disbursement Unit (SDU) it does not violate the Order of Protection (OOP). If this is what has been happening in your case, you have no... View More

Usual procedure is to file a contempt case. It's usally called Rule to Show Cause why Person should not be held in contempt and punished.
I receive disability and pay child support from that check.I also have a part time job and pay child support from that check.Can they collect more than the court order?
answered on Dec 21, 2017
No, unless there is separate order ordering periodic payments of past due child support on which they are also collecting. Normally the current support and any amount payable on past due child support are addressed in the same order, though. You may need an order entered clarifying from which... View More

You should meet with an attorney to discuss your case. You need to be named the father in a court order to best protect yourself. If you have been supporting the children, you may not owe any back support. It all friends on the facts.
I work as an independent contractor so my income varies and my ex knows that my husband makes a substantial amount of money and has threatened to request that my husbands income be used in court instead of mine to reduce the amount of child support he would have to pay under the new child support...

You need to file a court case so you have your rights in black and white.
The court will enter a parenting plan spelling out your and her rights in decision making and who the child is with and when.
And how would I go about getting full custody and primary placemnt for my 3 children and how do I go about child support
answered on Dec 18, 2017
Fundamentally they are the same, except that if you get a legal separation you are still considered married to the other person. Parenting time (formerly called custody and visitation) and support work the same as they do in divorce.
She’s only been working for a month, she already has two other kids she’s getting child support for. I take of my child financially and I’m in the child’s life regularly. She’s threatening to do this, and I know it’s out of spite
answered on Dec 16, 2017
The law has a formula for calculating child support.
That is the amount you will pay.
Of course, you have the right to petition to be the primary custodian and decision maker.
In Illinois this is done through a Parenting Plan.
He just recently filed a chapter 13 to avoid paying the back pay. Is there anything that I can do?
answered on Dec 15, 2017
He cannot bankrupt child support. If you know who is giving the money to him, you can file a post-judgment case for the arrears, join the party who is paying him the money as a party to the case, and put a brick on his payment. You need a lawyer to do this properly, and you cannot waste time doing... View More
Her and the father had a dcfs case on their children. She never completed the requirements, but the father did, so the case was closed ...She thought she had no rights, but now the state is trying to collect child support. I think that implies she has some form of rights, but I'm not sure...... View More

It is entirely possible that she has an obligation to pay child support yet has little or no rights involving her children. Without reviewing the documents involved it is impossible to say what, if any, rights she still has though. She ought to gather whatever paperwork she can find and have it... View More
I mean. A man desagrees with his wife towards abortion. He wants to keep the baby, she doesn't. What kind of lawsuit(even if it's a lost battle), should he move against her and where, how will that process unveil. I just want to know the all process.
Thank you.

Save your money. This is a lawsuit you will not win. The "all process" is don't bother wasting your time or the court's.
Well i needed a DNA test done do i went through the courts which created a child support case when the results came back i dropped the case but now I'm wondering can i put it back up or not
answered on Dec 14, 2017
It depends on whether she has collected state aid for the child or not.
My daughters father and I are not together. I live in IL and he lives in Michigan. I have her 99% of the time, she maybe sees him once every couple months.

You need to file a Petition for Parentage so as to officially establish him as the father and have the court order him to pay child support.
Go to this site to estimate what he should be paying:

She is entitled to 100% of all of the child support that he was ordered to pay and didn't. Without a court order exonerating him from payments when he wasn't working, he still owes the full amount. The kid's mom cannot make the amount less when he is not working because child... View More

The procedure is to file a Rule to Show Cause why he should not be held in contempt and punished by the court.
Same as if he didn't pay child support.
