What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FLORIDA
Can you all please help me figure out what this letter from the DOR says? I am thinking it says I wont be getting the back child support my ex husband owes.
He has paid almost NO child support this entire year. After forgiving half his 3000 dollars in back child support last year he quickly racked up close to that again this year. Thats on top of the 1500 from last year.
So, 4 years of playing games with him I had enough and finally filed for child support enforcement.
Yesterday I got this letter in the mail from the DOR.
The Florida Department of Revenue, Child Support Enforcement Program, has made a certificate to the IRS for the past due support owed to you by *****, the non-custodial parent. The certification requests the IRS to intercept any federal tax refund which may be due to the noncustodial parent and to send any intercepted monies to the Department.
The IRS may reclaim a refund or portions of a refund for various reasons when a noncustodial parent files an amended tax return, which can be done for up to six years after the tax year. When the IRS reclaims any portion of a refund that has been paid to you, the Department will ask you to repay all or a portion of the amount paid to you.
In accordance with federal regulations, the Department will hold IRS intercepts involving joint tax returns for 180 days before releasing the collection to allow the joint filer an opportunity to claim his or her portion of the refund by filing an "injured spouse" claim. Although the majority of claims are filed withing 180 days after notification of the intercept, federal law allows an unobligated or "injured spouse" six years to claim his or her portion of the refund by filing an amended return. If the IRS reclaims any portion of a refund after the 180 days, the Department will ask you to repay all or a portion of the amount paid to you.
Pursuant to the federal law, a tax refund intercept will be first applied to satify amounts certified as past due support assigned to the State of Florida or to another state for public assistancebenefits recevied by you, or for benefits recevied by another person to whom the noncustodial parent owes past due support. This is in accordance with the federal regulations. If no past due support is owed to the state, any refund received by the Department will be applied to the past due support owed to you by the noncustodial parent.
Sooooo....does this mean its a pretty good bet I still wont be seeing that child support? He still isnt paying. He paid twice in July, twice in August and once in September. None of them were the amount he was supposed to pay. Not even half. Other than that he hasnt paid since February. He quit his part time job to go to school on the GI Bill and SWORE he would pay his child support from what was left over on the GI Bill. He finally got a part time job but still hasnt paid anything. He basically told me he wont be able to pay anything until he gets out of school in December and gets a job and...oh yeah...that will take some time because they dont really hire during the winter.
However, in the meantime he has had the money for a new vehicle, an Android phone, and for two weddings within three weeks. One for him and his now wife, and the other for her son. He is constantly buying new guns or getting them as bonuses from work. A few weeks ago he SWORE he would send child support and never did. When I asked about he said "I was told we only had 90 dollars for food and gas for the week. I will see what I can do about next week." I am so tired of his games. He has money for whatever he wants or needs it for but not to support his ONLY child. I finally told him I wish I had the ability to say "Oh...sorry but I just cant take care of you this week son. Maybe next week I can feed you."
He said he didnt care if they take his tax refund (because it wont be much since he only worked part time most of the year) but that there will be trouble if they try to take her's.
I was told that when I filed they would send him three letters telling him he was behind. If he still didnt pay they would take his liscense and if he STILL didnt pay then he would go to jail. I have this horrible feeling that he is still going to get away without paying, all while it still keeps adding up, and I am just screwed.
Any help would be great. Oh...and other than having my son on Florida Kid Care for health insurance, that I pay 20.00 a month for, I am not on government assistance and never have been. I dont get food stamps or housing or anything. I DO work two jobs and never stop! LOL! I did, however, have to give up MY health insurance just to make ends meet.

) I cant get him much for Christmas but I did get him two really cool things. And that will be it from me. He is 11. He understand things have been rough and Christmas wont be huge this year. He is in a free afterschool program that gives them a snack and dinner so that has been very helpful and my parents still keep him at least one night a week. I work two jobs and work 6-7 days a week. A fulltime job and a part time job. But my immediate bills are paid (car, insurance, rent, electric) and there is some food in the house. (we dont eat much at home) It would just make it much easier if he would pay his child support. I could get an oil change on my car, pay some outstanding bills, buy him some new clothes since he has outgrown everything I bought right before school started.
