Sounds like you’re in Canada, right? If you are you go to Legal Aid and you can request a courtorder form, or you can print the forms from the ontariocourtforms website. I also think you want money from a male exhusband person, who is not living with you or your children. You have to apply each time he changes jobs, and if he quits, that’s difficut to get the money then. If you are working fulltime you will have a hard time getting alimony, but if you’re working part time you might be able to get something, and the child support is till the children are age 25 (if they are attending the university working on a Bachelor’s degree) if they aren’t, then the child support stops.

Okay, pretty plain!!! That was on 6/9, and there is still no warrant for her. The Child Support Recovery office said it takes time to draw up the papers, and then get them to the judge and then back to the cops. But how much time does this take???

During the summer his ex gets his son every other week. We don’t want him at her house when the cops come to arrest her, but we can’t seem to get anyone to give us a time schedule on when this will happen.

Anyone out there have ANY idea??? ANY?????

Answer by PrettyPixels
I’m not in GA but here in PA to get any satisfaction out of the people at Domestic Relations (Child Support office) you need an attorney. I have a friend without an attorney and there are constant warrants out for her ex, she even calls the police and child support office when she see’s him around town telling them the exact location where they can pick him up. They don’t pick him up usually until she really raises a fuss, calls over and over again for weeks on end or he gets picked up by accident for doing something else and they find the warrants for the support in the system by coincidence.

On the other hand, I have an attorney and my ex got so far in arrears that they gave him a set amount of time to pay x amount. He didn’t pay, I picked up my phone and called my attorney when I didn’t get the money and the following weekend he was in jail. For some reason lawyers can make things happen around here when it comes to support enforcement. I don’t know if it’s this way in GA. I am not the only one I know who this happens to and I am still not sure what the mechanics are behind it and why they get results.

I suggest calling a lawyer anyway and find out what you can do and if you can keep your child from the visits so your child isn’t exposed to a scene should she gets arrested. You might also get some muscle behind your issue with the support as well if you have a lawyer.

Question by Dr. Fk n Stuff KIA GCG ;: What’s the quickest way to get a court order for drug testing for a child welfare custody dispute?
We know baby mama has a drug problem. The problem is, we know if she gets the heads up that she is being drug tested and if she is given enough time, she’ll clean up her act temporarily. Is there any way to get a drug test ordered quickly, because we know she has used at least, valium, oxys and marijuana within the last week.
and to all you marijuana lovers, don’t get all up in arms, i dont’ care about it, i only care because its one of the many drugs this idiot is doped up on, on a regular basis while she should be caring for my stepdaughter
For now we’d like to keep CPS out of it, i hear once they are in your life both the mother and father go under a microscope. We have nothing to hide, but we don’t want them up our butts.
Yes Kiersten, she uses around the baby, shes on pills everyday. And that in its own right is unfit according to the law where I live.

Question by gladhesgone: Contempt of Child Support in GA?
My ex has been in child support recovery for 3 years now. They allow him a month to pay, till he is behind. Then they send him a letter saying he is late. He waits 30 more days, now 60 days past due – they send another letter to the DMV to try and pull his license. The DMV has to give him 30 days to pay before taking it. So 90 days – he usually made a payment just to keep his license. He wont work. Well the last time he paid was MAY 08. 9 months ago! They took his stimulus (I have NO IDEA how he got not working) in July, which is 3 – but they wont release that to me until 180 days is up – January.
So they finally set him up for a contempt of court date for December 10th. Thing is – they said he has to come to the child support office FIRST. They try to settle it there, before going to court. And I don’t have to be there. Does this not sound like he will get off AGAIN???

He had recently lost his license due to being so far behind, then he joined their fatherhood program (which sends him to a vocational school, trains him, and finds him a job) Well he didn’t do that long, and has said he has found a job and starts Monday. So they re-instated his license.

A contempt of a judges order – I have always heard he better have some money, or go to jail. But since he “claims” yet again to have found a job, and starts Monday – can I expect NOT to receive any money next week?

My aunt went through this. Some really seem to be good at beating the system. My uncle faked a back injury and said he couldn’t work, but did it on his own time, so work wouldn’t cover it. Said he couldn’t afford a doctor and recovery… Then went and mowed lawns and odd jobs under the table till the kids were 18.

He beat the system completely. Sounds like yours just might as well. Stinks! I think if they don’t pay, we should get to beat them with a baseball bat. haha!

I hope things turn out better for you though.

Question by k e: Child support garnishment?
Is a custodial parent able to get a child support garnishment on the non custodial parent without the non custodial parent being in arrears? Also, can you get a garnishment by having your lawyer do an income deduction order and having a judge sign it without going to court or thru an agency like child support recovery? Is this a legal garnishment? One more question, when the non custodial parent changes jobs can this type of garnishment automatically follow? Thanks

Answer by Robob
The grandparents on my wife’s side took custody of my son and yes they did receive my child support payments after we had the court order change. So the grandparents were the custodial parents and I was the non custodial parent. When I changed jobs where they were taking child support out of my pay it followed me to the new job. But keep a record. There may be a delay in that change over and money may be owed to child support. The grandparents did not have to go to court to garnish my wages. They just had to go to Domestic Relations to fill some paper work out. Hope that helps you with some of your questions?

So, after all that our lawyer said that child support had to be awarded or the judge would never sign off on it. So, we asked for a week, and we pay all medical stuff and daycare. a week is not earth shattering but enough to get special treats or new shoes now and then. We really weren’t trying to be mean, but if child support had to be awarded we thought we were being pretty nice.

Well now the mom is coming back saying she only works 1-2 days a week, so she can’t pay that amount, and the judge never should have signed it based on the child support worksheet. She says if she works more than 1-2 days a week then she looses all of her government stuff like low income houseing and medicaid and food stamps….etc. she agreed to the order in court and the judge signed it, but now she says she doesn’t make enough to give that. Well it is set up through child support recovery, so we have no control over it.

So, I guess my question is, if we have to go back to court over this how will the judge look at it? Will he base what she should pay on minimum wage at 40 hours a week, or what she actually makes, considering she chooses not to work more.

Thoughts????

Idk, what the Judge would do… but is it really worth it? If she is that neglectful and terrible, do you really want to have to deal with her at all? 50 bucks a week isn’t that much, like you said. I think I would just forget about it and be glad I didn’t have to deal with her.

Question by It’s Just Me: Child Support- is this wrong?
My Ex-husband is court ordered to pay Child Support every week.

For the last 10 years I have had to get the money from him directly. I have to call him every week or two- and then track him down where ever he is to get my money. Sometimes I get it- sometimes I have to wait a week and start the whole process again.

I am so tired of this weekly “wild goose chase”. I stopped calling him to ask for my money about 4 weeks ago. He hasn’t called me to give me my money.

I have decided to turn him over to Child Support Enforcement, and let them handle the payments and recovering the 4 weeks of past due support.

Part of me is happy to not have to see him every week- and have to call him on the phone anymore (he doesn’t visit with our child- so we will never see him now), but I also feel like maybe I should call him and tell him to send me the money now and let him know that I am turning him into Child Support Recovery.

I know he is wrong because he knows he has to pay that money every week and I shouldn’t have to call him constantly to try to get my money.

I am also afraid that he is going to call and scream at me when the Child Support people contact him.

What should I do?
No way! I don’t like having to call or see him! that is why I stopped chasing him down for my support. I just don’t want him to call me and scream at me and call me names and stuff- he has done that in the past : (

Answer by Magic 8 Ball “8 BILF”
You are not a bill collector, and you shouldn’t have to chase him around so he can take care of his kids. I don’t blame you for calling Child Support Recovery, and I would have done it sooner. Good for you for stopping the drama.

By DIRK JOHNSON
Published: January 20, 2009

WESTON, Wis. — Kara Neumann, 11, had grown so weak that she could not walk or speak. Her parents, who believe that God alone has the ability to heal the sick, prayed for her recovery but did not take her to a doctor.

Kara Neumann months before she died at age 11. Her parents, who prayed but did not seek medical care when she was ill, are charged with reckless endangerment.
Enlarge This Image

Leilani and Dale Neumann in court last spring in Wausau, Wis. Their case could create guidelines in an unsettled area of law.

After an aunt from California called the sheriff’s department here, frantically pleading that the sick child be rescued, an ambulance arrived at the Neumann’s rural home on the outskirts of Wausau and rushed Kara to the hospital. She was pronounced dead on arrival.

The county coroner ruled that she had died from diabetic ketoacidosis resulting from undiagnosed and untreated juvenile diabetes. The condition occurs when the body fails to produce insulin, which leads to severe dehydration and impairment of muscle, lung and heart function.

“Basically everything stops,” said Dr. Louis Philipson, who directs the diabetes center at the University of Chicago Medical Center, explaining what occurs in patients who do not know or “are in denial that they have diabetes.”

About a month after Kara’s death last March, the Marathon County state attorney, Jill Falstad, brought charges of reckless endangerment against her parents, Dale and Leilani Neumann. Despite the Neumanns’ claim that the charges violated their constitutional right to religious freedom, Judge Vincent Howard of Marathon County Circuit Court ordered Ms. Neumann to stand trial on May 14, and Mr. Neumann on June 23. If convicted, each faces up to 25 years in prison.

“The free exercise clause of the First Amendment protects religious belief,” the judge wrote in his ruling, “but not necessarily conduct.”

Wisconsin law, he noted, exempts a parent or guardian who treats a child with only prayer from being criminally charged with neglecting child welfare laws, but only “as long as a condition is not life threatening.” Kara’s parents, Judge Howard wrote, “were very well aware of her deteriorating medical condition.”

About 300 children have died in the United States in the last 25 years after medical care was withheld on religious grounds, said Rita Swan, executive director of Children’s Health Care Is a Legal Duty, a group based in Iowa that advocates punishment for parents who do not seek medical help when their children need it. Criminal codes in 30 states, including Wisconsin, provide some form of protection for practitioners of faith healing in cases of child neglect and other matters, protection that Ms. Swan’s group opposes.

Question by stephanie l: How can I stop my ex from moving my child across the country?
I am an addict in recovery with 19 months clean time. My ex-husband divorced me and got sole custody of my daughter three years ago while I was in jail for drug related offenses. (She will be 9 yrs old in March 2007) He has blocked every attempt at contact. Recently, the court has ordered visitation. I the first visitation was supervised by my daughter’s court appointed Guardian Ad Litem, and after a few minutes of hesitancy, it was like we had never been apart. The second time was unsupervised at my elder daughter’s house. When he dropped her off, she acted scared to be left with me until he left. Then she was affectionate, loving, and we had a great time together. She was also extremely happy to see her siblings, whom he has cut her off from also. When it was time for him to pick her up, she again acted fearful of us, and refused to take with her the gifts we had given her. Now he has filed with the court to move to Arizona. Just getting visitation has already drained me financially.

Question by CaCO3Girl: Any Child Support Recovery, GA, people on here, or someone that has had an ex thrown in jail for non-payment?
I am becoming exceedingly frustrated. My husband has custody of his son, and his ex was ordered to pay child support. The short story is that she has refused to do this and on 6/9 Child Support recovery took her to court for contempt, and she didn’t even show up for that. We were told “An Arrest order in the full amount of the back child support owed will be issued”. We asked about it more plainly and they said “We are going to lock her in jail and the only way out for her is to come up with everything that she owes you.”

Okay, pretty plain!!! That was on 6/9, and there is still no warrant for her. The Child Support Recovery office said it takes time to draw up the papers, and then get them to the judge and then back to the cops. But how much time does this take???

During the summer his ex gets his son every other week. We don’t want him at her house when the cops come to arrest her, but we can’t seem to get anyone to give us a time schedule on when this will happen.

Anyone out there have ANY idea??? ANY?????
FYI, we waited a full year after we got custody to even bring her to child support recovery. My husband could have asked for hundreds of dollars a week, and he asked for just , because she does have other kids and he didn’t want to be mean. The custody order required child support to be awarded, and we had a hard time with the judge allowing that little. And yes we are worried that my step son will see his mom arrested, but we gave her a year to pay child support, and she felt above it. They suspended her drivers license and she is still above it, they asked her to go to court and explain herself, she didn’t show up. I have no sympathy for someone who has been given every opprotunity to make things right, and just ignors all help because she thinks she is too good for it.

Question by Jennifer: Child custody battle, those of you that have been there, what can I expect?
We live in MO. We were not married. I made him move out literally right before I found out that I was pregnant, after my teen daughter and I witnessed him falling over drunk (this was an ongoing problem, and he smokes pot frequently). Our son is now 5 months old. I was served papers the day after I hired an attorney. He is asking the courts for joint custody, him as the custodial, me paying child support (he filed this in response to the DSS ordering him to pay child support). I just signed my response last week. I’m asking for sole legal and physical custody, with supervised visitation in my home for him. I have a really good attorney, with many years of experience in this field, and he’s also served as a judge. He has told me that judges do not give sole custody these days unless there is a good reason and it can be proven, and he feels I have a strong case and that the judge see’s fathers who file for custody to get out of child support all the time and that he won’t be fooling anyone. FYI, he has not paid me any support, only picked up occasional items that I asked him to up until I decided to cease his visits- because of his refusal to help support, his continued drinking and drug use, and his verbal abuse.

I guess I’m wanting to get a clearer picture of the process and what I can expect. My lawyer has sent out discovery, I haven’t received anything yet. He plans to get hair drug testing ordered (alcohol and marijuana abuse), and I’m told a gardien ad leitum may be appointed for my son. Will the judge order us to do DNA testing even though the father signed the affidavit at the hospital claiming paternity and is obviously asking for a paternity ruling in order to ask for joint custody?

Any info would be appreciated, especially an idea on time-lines. Thanks for reading!

Also, I know there are decent men out there who genuinely want to take care of their kids and be a part of their lives, who can’t because of vindictive mothers who are using their kids to hurt them. That is not what is happening in my case. Feedback would be much appreciated!

Question by Motherhood is cool!: Child Support was ordered….how did she get out of it?
Hi, my husband got custody of his 6 year old son in 06/08, he tried to be nice and waited until 2/09 to report his ex to Child Support Recovery for barely paying child support at all. Now we have all been ordered to court on 6/9/09 where she maintains that she doesn’t have to pay child support because she doesn’t make enough money.

Is that even possible??? I mean, she speaks English, is not disabled, and has a part time job working 2-3 days from home, but we figured that was just because she was lazy and didn’t want to ruin her standing with the food stamp people and free medical for her other two kids and stuff. She has two other kids 11 and 8 that are covered under a different support order, and are from a different dad, so can they even be counted in all of this?

It is her choice NOT to work 40 hours a week, can she really just get out of paying child support because she doesn’t make enough? My husband asked for the bare minimum of 0 per month, and I know he could have gone for a heck of a lot more, but he was trying to be nice, he didn’t even ask for her to pay any medical stuff, I guess it bit him in the end.

Is she really going to get away with this?

Answer by happy cooker
For goodness sakes, the woman works 2-3 days a week and has 2 other kids and you expect her to pay child support? If your husband can’t afford to keep his son maybe the mother should have kept him and got child support from your husband!
