Child Support Evasion

[redheadrascal]

The father of my children is finding clever ways to avoid paying support for his children. We have no formal agreement but he has been giving $100 checks every two weeks for our 2 children (ages 2 and 4). Recently he sent a photocopy of a phone bill that he paid which was $84 and an accompanying check for $16 with support written in the memo area. I did not make any of the calls on that bill and the bill was in his name. Can he do this and what are my legal courses of action?

This is the problem: you need a good attorney to represent you so that the Court can order child support payments for a fixed amount and specified duration.
Then when the scumbag tries to play games, haul his ass back to Court.

Get you act together please, for the sake of the children. You have an untrustworthy ex driving a vehicle that is in both your names but you pay the insurance and an irresponsible boyfriend that is a druggie and a speeder with a bench warrant on him. Say no more, except that you hired a good attorney.

you can file yourself. you need to file for a custody hearing. child support, visitation and custody will be determined at this time. also, i recommend that you have all payments go through the state, this way a record is kept and if he don't pay your chances are better at getting him back into court, slim but better. the states are very overloaded now days.

you need to do something fast, until then with no legal court order in place, things will stay the same or get worse. just be paitient and all will work out.

call your local court house and see if they offer a law library and web site. you can print most forms from their web site if ava.

also see is you qualify for legal aide.

this is not legal advice check the laws in your state.

good luck
