Refuses to pay support

[mama_c]

What is the name of your state? Virginia
On Feb. 14, 2007 I was awarded physical custody of my 2 children(ages 15 & 16) and spousal/child support that was ordered by DCSE to be taken from his pay. To date he has paid nothing. He said, "Funny how that support order keeps getting lost". The woman he's having an affair with and moved in with is the one who does the payroll at his job. He just got back from a cruise with his girlfriend and brought the kids t-shirts. He comes in here and screams and yells about the bills in his name not getting paid. I can't pay his bills if I have no money. I do work part time and just found a full time, but I don't know if that will be enough to save my house. He will laugh and say he can't afford to pay me anything because he's paying his girlfriends bills.

How long do I have to wait to take him back to court? I've already called DCSE and they have assured me that they have sent the order to his employer. They told me I have to wait 6 months to have it reviewed.

Please, any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Can you get the order and bring it IN PERSON to the employer ? Perhaps talk to the HEAD of payroll at his job and request they handle the garnishment? You might want to remind the ex that the order is not in purgatory, and that while he and gf are playing these games he is going into arrears. That means interest and if he gets behind enough you can file for contempt of court.

And also February 14, 2007 was not that long ago. It can take two months or so for something to start being taken out of his pay. Legally his employer is NOT allowed to lose the order. Even if it is getting lost he still owes it. What bills are in his name and why are you responsible for paying them?
