I live in IL and am currently pursuing Child Support. I have been goign through the state as I don't have much money for a lawyer, at least not a good lawyer. I am having trouble reaching my case worker she will not return phone calls, faxes, or e-mails. This case is interstate, I am in IL with my son and the father "in question" lives in FL. My son was conceived in FL and so I was told that everything would be based on FL law, rules, and regulations.
I am wondering about a couple of things;
Why is this taking so long?
Is there anything I can do to speed this process along?
I was wondering, if I were to travel down to FL to have a paternity test done would that help speed things up or would I only be putting myself out for nothing?
Any help anyone has would really be appreciated! I honestly don't know where to turn to. I am getting very tired of not having phonecalls returned, not having e-mails and faxes returned, and I am about ready to give up.
I just want to be able to give my son everything! This money isn't mine it's his and he is getting older and in more and more need of this for proper daycare and shortly there after school and extracurricular activities that I just can't afford for him on my single mom budget.
Thank you all for anything you can provide me with![/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]
