| | | exwife owes child support
What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arkansas, State or U.S. Law
my ex wife owes over $14000 in child support she started paying in 2008, the child support services intercepted her IRS returns for 07. But this year she informed me that she was not going to file any IRS returns, for the simple fact she does not like having to pay. Is there some way that I can force her to file IRS? What can I do to get her to pay? |

She's not working now, was and they garnished her wages, almost sure she does not have a bank account. She does not drive either so can't take her driving privileges away. Since I can't force her to file IRS, can't I have her picked up and put in jail for a few days? If not it really don't matter I lived and got by thus far without it, I'm just curious. |

You can file contempt and see what the court wants to do about it.
(out of interest what would jailing her for a few days accomplish?)

If she is working and you file contempt you may be able to request that her wages be garnished. It's a far better solution than throwing her in prison. Also, if a person's income falls below a certain amount they are not required by law to file a tax return. It's possible she falls into this category. |
