Deadbeat Dad

[no$$4us]

What is the name of your state?NC
What actions can I take against a deadbeat dad?
He has not paid his medical obligation in 10 years. He has been given 2 written notices, multiple phone notices and then a hearing in court for custody also brought out the unpaid medical. The debt is nearly $10,000.
The child support debt is approximately $44,000 at this time.
He did move the case from Florida to NC in order to have a custody hearing(so he claims)
I had a modification motion for an increase hearing in Florida which was "transferred to NC" by his attorney.
My fear was that he would stop paying CS when the case was dropped in Fl and he did.
He also got his suspended driver's license unsuspended.
I live in NC, he lives in DE.

Two written notices in 10 years is not much at all. Many states will give the custodial parent a certain amount of days to send proof of payments to the obligor. You may find that what you've done is basically let this slide and a judge may or may not order the medical payments. Phone calls are not proof.

Since neither of you live in the originating state (FL), he could have asked to have the case moved to NC or DE.

I don't understand why you're modifying to increase support when he's not paying what he is already court ordered to pay. File a contempt action against him for CS.

I was not able to locate him for most of the 10 years. In the first 2 years, I tried to deal with medical issues--and it took him a year to send medical cards.
Then he lost his job and hid for several years.
When FL cs found him in De, he again switched jobs and residence several times.
Finally when he contacted me, he asked me to forgive unpaid child support so he could buy a house.
I then approached about medical.
I tried to get cs involved and they said said him 2 notices certified mail and then pursue it in court.
I did that and at the custody hearing, we discussed the medical issues. I had the certified notices from post office, I noted repeated phone calls, and said I sent his FL attorney the medical bills and his current NC attorney.
The judge found the past due medical as a finding of fact in the hearing.
What can I do?

Your ex owes over $30,000.00 in arrears, on several posts you have asked what you can do about it, and you have recieved many many replies- all saying the same thing- FILE FOR CONTEMPT.

Until you do that nothing will change, including the answers you recieve on this forum.

You have an attorney, so you don't have to do anything except ask attorney to file for you, so why aren't you doing anything?
