Question

My ex & I were living in VA when we were divorced in 1988. He moved to NC where he married Betty Bolling. They travel around the US in a 5th wheeler so that I cannot find him & collect the support he owes me. He is a retired federal government employee who receives a federal pension so he must have to pay state and federal taxes. He has worked and owned a car in NC. I can provide his Social Security Number and birthdate. HELP!!!!!

I read your first post, and it seems as though you are bitter with this man. Understandably so. Are we talking about alimony or child support, or both? Either way try going to child support services with a copy of the court order and see if they can have his retirement check garnished for what he owes you. Also they can take any refunds he might be recieveing from tax returns and give them to you to pay his debt. If this is alimony, I'm not sure css can help, but it's worth a try, if they can not, then you will need a lawyer to petition the courts for wage assignment and intervention of tax returns to collect the debt he owes you.

It's been only within the last few years that Federal employee wages weren't protected
from garnishment from State Systems. It may be why there hasn't been anything really done in the past. Due to the ever-increasing rolls of "obligors", and the idea that he is moving around, it may be quite a task to even locate him at a reasonable cost. Most likely, his retirement funds are being direct deposited to a checking account somewhere, and he has access. With the Federal Regulations in matters like this in place, voted into law by congressmen/women who wanted protection for themselves, You'll have quite a job to recover ANYTHING from the court. You may get a reasonable order, but his compliance is necessary. Orders, Orders, Orders, and FEDERAL COURT intervention? After years of the Chase, he may be out of the picture, then another round with his current Other. It's going to be tough, to say the least. Case Law reads both ways. Good Luck to you.
