What is the name of your state?NC
Can I collect child support through the state without involving child support?
I can't get them to collect the full amount that the judge ordered for my ex to pay.
Can I collect money from an medical annuity paid from an insurance company to him monthly? I did when my case was handled by Florida Child support but NC child support said I can't :confused: .

The Child Support Enforcement Agency is a state agency so there's no way to "collect child support through the state without involving child support".

What do you mean you can't get them to collect the full amount he was ordered to pay? What to the income witholding orders state he is to pay per pay period? What do the court orders say he is to pay? Where is the descrepancy?

What type of "medical annuity" are you talking about?

child support enforcement help

in April of 2005,I took my ex back to court for contempt and to follow through with a child support adjustment hearing that I had started in Florida.
My ex was found in contempt for non-payment of child support and unpaid medical for 10 years.
NC Child support said he was not in contempt because the case had moved from Florida to NC. During the 4 month transition he refused to pay, but that didn't count against him according to NC Child Support Enforcement. He sat through court cases telling everyone that he was still paying Florida and had no idea where the money was going.
NC Child support enforcement sent his employer a notice for wage with holding in Dec of 2004.
He was already over $40,000 in arrears.
I still had a pending case for an increase from Florida which is why he moved the case. Child support in Florida sent me an increase letter but could not find him to serve him and in the meantime he moved the case, so he was never made to follow through with the increase.
I got a private attorney and he was found in contempt and I was given an increase but at a much lower level. The judge, however gave him an increase in the amount he was to pay to arrears.
Since the April hearing he has not complied with the order. Our attorney sent his employer a copy of the new order. When NC child support found out, they said that only they could do that, but they technically were not party to the action yet. NC child support then sent his employer a wage withholding form as well. I believe they sent the wrong amount. He continued to send the wrong amount.
My case worker asked me what my problem was since he wasn't far behind.
I would like to collect the amount the judge ordered. My ex is a chemical engineer--he has the brains to know what is owed and what needs to be done.
I would like to have the collection done correctly. I don't care who is at fault whether it is child support or him. Child support won't take him to court until he is far behind because he owes a lot of arrearage each month on top of child support.
There really is a problem with a system like this.

CS enforcement medical annuity

My ex has an insurance annuity that is paid out to him monthly it was due to a car accident settlement over 20 years ago. He gets a monthly check and every 5 years an inflation stabilizer or bonus to pay out the policy.
child support in Florida garnished some of the support from the annuity.
NC child support says they can't and won't. Now they tell me that he is paying over the 50% of his income. Which is a lie. He is making $7500 a month. He is paying $2000 a month for support and half of that is for arrears due to running for 8 years and no adjustment for his increases in income during those years of hiding.
He went contract shopping since our case was fine in Florida. But after a reveiw of his state's child support figures in Delaware which is even higher than Florida, he moved the case to NC which is far less than both of these states.

Wait a minute...

Where does HE live, and where do YOU live? If you live in Florida and he's in Delaware, how did he get a NC court to issue a child support order?

I'll try to tackle the other things and explain them to you after I get the answer to that mind-boggler.

It sounds like the major problem here is there's too many pots on the burner. Exactly HOW MANY people are involved in this?

You're meaning some action in FL. Then some action in NC. Then something your lawyer is doing. Good Lord...no wonder why nothing getting done.

Where is the child residing? THAT is the support enforcement agency that is supposed to be handling it. It's quite possible that his employer is following that last order issued, which is from Florida (it sounds). If some attorney sent something, they probably disregarded it because he doesn't have the authority since it's in the state's hands.

It sounds like you really need to get your ducks in a row because, honestly, it sounds like they're scattered all over the place.
