What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Colorado
I have been signed up to receive child support since 2002 and it has never been consistent. As of lately I have been contacting my case worker on the first of the month every time the payment does not come the month before. She always seems to be a bit annoyed with me, the last time she let me know that he does contracted work and does not always have jobs but since he does have a "job" basically, there is nothing they can do to get him to pay and when I get the money is when I get it. I am pretty sure the state he is living in is Montana now.
SO my question is...How much back pay money can accumulate and/or how often does he have to pay before they take serious action?
Also, I really have no idea how child support works. So, I am wondering since he got married a few years back (after the court order and after I signed up for CS), does child support put into account that he has financial stability with his wife when considering how much to take out of his check?
Thanks
