They will give them back once the debt has been paid in full or once satisfactory payment arrangements are made with the creditor.
I get cs directly from the cs office and once he came back, the payments picked up again. However, I have yet to receive any makeup payments from the time he was gone.

Make a motion in your divorce case to hold him in contempt for 1) arrears, 2) current support review 3) unpaid medicals and 4) your attorney fees. That’ll level the playing field pretty quickly.
My 16 year old went to live with him, he has no job and my daughter is supporting him. My 13 year old lives with me What should I expect

Expect some type of modification based on the 16 year old living with him but other than that, not much other change.
Can the non-custodial parent make medical, school, etc decisions for a child just the same as the custodial parent?
answered on Apr 27, 2023
If you have joint custody, then yes he does. If you have sole custody, then no, he does not.

50/50 custody since may 2022, no cs obligations since, arrears at 0. Was pulled over for a moving violation a couple days ago. Much to my surprise the officer informed me of an old child support warrant in the amount of 1300, from 2019. He had to arrest me, I had to go to jail until the amount was... View More

You may have a claim against them although there are immunity issues involved. Find a civil rights attorney who can evaluate the case for you.

What specifically is it you are seeking to do after 11 years?
My ex boyfriend (we were never married) has taken our child and won't let her come home. There is no custody order in place. Paternity was presumed in child support court. Is he allowed to do what he's doing? I thought if parents are unmarried, even if paternity is established, that... View More
answered on Mar 19, 2023
No. If paternity has been established, you both have joint (not sole) custody by operation of law. You will need to file a motion in the paternity case or a new custody scion to establish a parenting schedule

You have to pay child support through the graduation date in May, but not thereafter.
Last week the non custodial parent was Behind $2000. I looked today and it has the decertified from federal intercept in the case activity and I’m arrears it’s 0.
answered on Mar 8, 2023
Most likely they seized the $2,000 for his taxes which satisfied the arrearage. Since there was no remaining arrearage, the claim has been decertified meaning they will no longer intercept his taxes.

Not unless your lawyer tells you to. If you do not have a lawyer, then yes, you should attend.
She is remarried and wants more child support. Our incomes are drastically different due to her not working (thus not spending any money on our child other than what she already gets from me). Is this a loophole to get the non custodial parent to have to pay more in child support? Also, if it goes... View More

You need to file a motion alleging she is voluntarily underemployed and ask for an evidentiary hearing. That way you can get her entire employment history into evidence. Remarriage on either side does not affect child supportlreceipt or payment.
answered on Feb 26, 2023
Most likely, it has created an arrearage owed to the state for which you both are responsible. Ask for an audit or accounting from both child support snd from KTAP.
My parents have never paid a dime towards helping with anything and lost custody due to abandonment of child. They left him with me when I was 18 and I’ve had him ever since. He is in college and it would help with his and my expenses for the car I bought him and items needed for classes.
Speed it along. He's literally about to lose the home for his daughter. Why would it take this long? People are struggling, and you know you've got a check sitting with your name on it. That's not right
answered on Feb 6, 2023
Go to the child support office that has the check and inquire as to its availability.
