What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TX (employer and deadbeat) OH (myself and order)

Can I get into legal trouble for calling my ex's employer and asking for information? What if I mislead them claim to be someone other than myself? Not a govt agency or anything.

Haven't done it, but I have her number and I am sure if I call her and explain things she will not want to talk to me.

And what are you asking for? Information-wise?

If you lie you are asking for trouble because that tanks your credibility if you try to use that in court. You could get in trouble for such a thing -- what you should do is open a contempt case and SUBPOENA the information from the employer.

I know, I know... and I wouldnt do it I am just so frustrated.

As of right now I am being told by the state of ohio that because they are involved in the child support case that I cannot file contempt for that or anything regarding that. (the failure to respect withholding order, failure to pay, info regarding how much he makes etc..) The only thing I can do apparently, without dropping my state case is file for contempt for failing to report to me the name and address of his employer. Which I have.

This whole process is totally infuriating.. And it seems that the state is willing tell me there is nothing they can do, yet REFUSE to admit they have "exhausted all measures" to collect and allow the federal AG office to take over (under the child support recovery act and the deadbeat parents punishment act). I have given them his address, his employers address, her phone number, and a po box she uses for business.

I just want them to do something to him... How long can someone run from the law before they get caught?

And for whoever asked... all I want from her is an employment start date as well as an income amount....


Is it out of place to send her a letter?
