I know this is a very common subject, but my ex refused to work and plays on being disabled, which hasnt even been established. He lives off his new fiance and she has two kids of her own. I found out from child support, that he walked off his last job, so I know he is refusing to work. Him and I had three children and he is only required to pay 129 a month for all of them, which now he is behind 4000.00. Can I take him to court so action can be taken or would it just be a waste of my time? I am working thru child support enforcement but they are so overloaded, nothing has been done. Im constantly waiting for them to contact the other state and then its just more waiting… Any advice would be appreciated.. I don’t think he deserves the right to just ignore ALL responsibility. He already ignores his kids.
I should mention in reference to an answer I received.. I do have a terrific job and do well supporting my children on my own. The point of the matter is just to give him a wake up call and take some responsibility.. I cant make him do it, but I can sure make him stress for once in his life.

How can I enforce a child support order in a another state. The father is paying however the employer is garnishing and not sending me my money due to her finanical situation. I have contacted Child support and they are not offering me any solution.
I have spoken with the employer and she states she is unable to pay and she will send it when she is financially able. Has anyone had any experience with collecting a child support debt outside of child support enforcement?

Invariably, when a mother claims to be owed arrears, or a father asking about the arrears he owes, the answers frequently center around derogatory comments about deadbeat dads and not supporting their kids.

How many do you think actually refuse to pay as opposed to being in arrears due to a job layoff or injury?

Child Support Enforcement does not advertise that they provide free legal representation to either parent (payor or payee), upon request, for an increase or decrease in support.

I’ve been separated from my ex (with our now 3 year old child) for about a year now. I filed for child support and custody through DES (Department of economic security) through their child support enforcement section. I have gotten a case started and even an atlas number but it’s been almost a year now and I was wondering if there was anyway to make it go faster?

My children are grown and all past child support paid. My ex-wife has an alimony order that I can’t pay. The state of Maine is trying to collect under the department of child support enforcement. I owe the alimony but not child support and my kids are 23 and 25. There was an order for child support for the youngest and it was paid in full. The last child only lived with her for 3 months, then the childsupport order stopped.

I am a single mom, my child’s dad is in jail. I tried to collect child support, but the Child Support Enforcement Agency personnel told me that I could apply for it, but that the application wouldn’t go anywhere because he is in jail. What should I do? I am in need of the funds, otherwise I wouldn’t bother. Any suggestions?

I receive one check that contains my child support and alimony. I haven’t received the entire amount for either because my ex hadn’t been paying it all. I know I have to find out my income from alimony to pay taxes. Will they send me a statement from the child support enforcement agency or what? I live in Ohio.

The father of my children owes over 6k in back child support. He told me that he hasn’t told Child Support about his new job he got about 8 months ago. How do report this to Child Support Enforcement in the state of Oregon?

A judge ordered child support to be paid by my ex. The order was dated June 24th of this year. So far my ex has still not paid a penny of child support (three months after the court order was put in). He is already in arrears (my child is over a year old now). Is he going to get in trouble for not doing as the judge ordered?

I have child support enforcement working on this matter, but I am surprised that he is not in contempt of court by not paying his court ordered child support immediately.
