Work hard, take care of your kids and pray.

That aside, what does the court order say? How much is he supposed to pay? How far behind is he?

Well court has ordered the minimum 50 dollars a month. He is working construction and earning a pretty penny under the table. He is 4 moths behind and paying an extra 5 dollars a month to get caught up. But thats because he has no paper trail.

How do you intend to prove that he is working?

deb, you may just have to learn to take care of your children on your own. As crappy as that sounds it may be your reality.

Those are just questions. They are not proof.

True it is going to be hard to prove. But there has to be a way. I had to stay at home to raise our children while he worked. We have 3. He said he didn't want me to work so that i would be there for the children so when we had our first i quit my job and have not worked in 10 years. I have finally gone back to work but not making what i did befor because of the economy. Should i hire a P.I. and get pictures of him working??

Getting pictures of him working at X is not proof that he's actually getting paid and if he IS working under the table, chances are his employer isn't going to be overly keen on admitting to that either (given the ramifications of that!).

The harsh reality is that some parents are absolute deadbeats and will do anything to avoid paying child support.

And how do you prove he's not volunteering his time, or helping out a buddy?

Seriously, when an NCP decides to work for cash, it can be really, really hard to make them pay suport as ordered.....
