My friend is a single mother. The baby’s father is the true definition of dead beat dad. He tries to skip out on paying his child support and even tried lying to the agency about where he works so that he wouldn’t have to pay it. He works for a dance company and gets paid a lot in cash for teaching dance classes. He is dating one of the owners of the dance company so we think that he is convincing her to not take the child support out of his paycheck. The only time my friend actually gets a check is when she calls and makes several complaints to the Child support agency which takes a lot of time and effort. How can she get her well-deserved child support money without hiring a lawyer or incurring a lot of expenses?
I want to clarify something. He already has a wage garnish order in place, but the employer is not complying with it. We think it has to do with the fact that he is dating the owner of the company and is convincing her to not take the garnished wages out.
The employer can get in big big trouble for denying a support order!
If she cannot get a reasonable explanation for the late payments, she needs to file a complain with the court.
My friend has a child support hearing coming up. She wants to know what should be said in order for her to get what her child deserves. (The man has been giving false information in order to get out of paying Child support) Please help.
Documentation is huge. Photos of his new car, or new stuff should help. If he has a myspace type site… snag photos that ensure that the site is his and then print out his blog that describes what he does with his free time.
If he employed by a company then he can’t really lie about it because he is required to provide all of his salary information as well as his most recent W2 which he probably only got in January.
If he’s self-employed or works under the table that can be a trickier thing to nail down and as I said the more documentation the better.
Also check out how his expenses weigh in against what he’s claiming to make and toss that in with any new things he’s bought recently.
You can contact me through here if you want more information about it… I had the same trouble and the judge was very impressed and my ex VERY disappointed with the outcome. He had to retropay from when I had first filed and it was at almost double the rate he had been paying up until that point.
Best of luck,

"Lee" makes $6.00 an hour and is ordered to pay $514.00 a month for child support and doesn’t even get 40 hours on the job. The order come from Illinois and "Lee" lives in Mississippi. "Lee" appealed last year and was given a telephone interview she knew nothing about. 2 of her checks was $0.00 after support was taken out. The child turned 18 in July and is away at college. "Lee" doesn’t mind paying the support, but she can hardly get her bills paid. Does anyone know of a lawyer (maybe a legal aid lawyer) that sides with the parent paying support to get it lowered?
First of all, The state of Illinois will mandate support until the age of 19 if the child is continuing High School or past that age if by agreement.
Secondly, by statute, the minimum percentage of support for 6 children is 50% of Net so you are either, as one person said, lying or being lied to.
And finally, the case of your FRIEND is most likely because she owes arrears and that will continue until the amount is paid in full.
The ONLY solution for her is to either hire an attorney or get another job. Because frankly, I don’t believe a word of this story.
EDITED TO CORRECT A FALSE FACT:
Child support in New York continues until the age of 21. And in all states, provisions in the statutes allow for support to continue (in some cases) for the life of the child.
Support does NOT automatically terminate in ANY state at the age of 18. There is either a statutory allowance for a motion to terminate or the order must be written into the support decision at the time of the court’s issuance.
I had a affair behind my wife’s back. My ex-mistress has filed for child support and medical support (1 year old son will be on my health insurance). Paternity test came back positive. Is there any way to keep the Child support and medical support a secret from my wife? I’m not ready to tell her yet!
You may not be ready to tell your wife but you have no other choice but tell her now. It’s going to be worst for you if you keep this from her because eventually she will find out. You lied to your wife when you cheated behind her back. You didn’t tell her the truth about your son. And now you want to keep the child support a secret. How long do you plan to go behind your wife’s back and pretend that everything is okay? How long do you plan to keep all those secrets from her? Your wife has a right to know everything. She is probably thinking that you have a great marriage but behind her back you cheated on her and had a child with another woman. I’m sorry but I cannot help you with this because I honestly believe that keeping this from your wife is wrong. You need to tell your wife the truth. You may not be ready yet to tell her but she will never be ready to accept what you did behind her back. She may have forgiven you for cheating but to have a baby with another woman is going to destroy her world. But I imagine you weren’t thinking about your wife when you were having an affair behind her back.
Child support lookup refers to the process of obtaining the records regarding child support cases. Although this is often preceded by the unfortunate Separation or divorce of the parents, it is necessary in ensuring that the parties involved comply with the statutes of the law concerning this issue. Looking up child assistance cases ensures that the child is able to receive monetary support that guarantees that he or she grows up with a good education and a comfortable standard of living. The process is also important so that the care and upbringing of the child is not compromised simply because of the separation of the parents.
Aside from legal separations, child support lookup also applies to those children with unwed parents, who are of course also required to extend assistance for the growth and well-being of their child. Child assistance requires that financial assistance for the child is automatically deducted from monthly paychecks of one of the parents (usually the one with whom the child is not staying with). In the instance that child support is withheld for one reason or the other, there are measures that can be undertaken, undertaken such as seizing one’s property to ensure compliance.
Researching Child Support Cases
Child support lookup can be conducted by anyone willing to know about child assistance cases similar to their own. Of course, it can also be conducted for research purposes by people studying to get into or are already into family court cases.
Although there are guidelines that the family court imposes on the amount of child support that is required, any child assistance lookup will reveal that there are still differences in the amounts since these are still reliant on other factors such as the income of the parents and the special needs of the children, if any. If you are planning to file a case dispute, gather all required information beforehand so that you can lay down all the facts and determine an appropriate course of action.
If you already have a pending case, you can sometimes lookup the status of your child support case online. Online children support lookup records also help you in determining the average amount that children receive in a state so that you can decide if the amount you are requesting for, receiving or contesting is justifiable.
There are still some restrictions regarding online children support lookup services in some states because this information, particularly financial data, is considered highly confidential. You will need to supply these online records providers with your name and a case number before the files are released to you.
