What is the name of your state? NC
We went to court last March. I didn't start receiving any support until Jan. of this year, when I called to fing out why they said they couldn't take him to court (in 2003) because the court dockets were full til the end of the year. Then they garnished his wages steadily until May when my support started getting very erratic. I was getting weekly checks like clockwork when all of a sudden, he starting missing 1 week here, 2 weeks there. I got 1 week of support in June, and so far for august, I have received $28 (out of the $424 he owes). Every time I have called, they tell me they can do nothing until he is 30 days behind. He is currently $4600 behind. This is killing me, because I waited to enroll my son in daycare until I started receiving regular checks because I really can't afford it on my own. Is there anything I can do? I spoke with an attorney and he said he thought he could get my support for me, but I needed to pay an $800 retainer to get him started...obviously if I can't afford daycare, I can't afford his retainer!
NEED HELP QUICK!
Is there any guideline for how many months behind or a dollar amount before they take corrective action?
