i live in illinois and my daughters father hasn't paid since aug. i'm filing a petition for rule to just cause. at that hearing i'm asking the support be witheld from his wages. i was wondering if i could ask for his tax returns to pay the back-support. :confused:

Yes you can ask and pray that you get it. My ex is over 10,000 behind and I get his tax check next year. Also keep in mind even if it comes out of his check it's not guarnteed that you'll get it. If he quits his job it's his responsiblity to tell them and prove how much comes out. If he's avoiding paying then he will won't tell them. Then if you go through the system they will expect for you to know where he's working.

I forgot to add that you could get the tax check but I wouldn't count on it for this year. It's already the end of December and you haven't filed yet. It might be too late for this year.

States are required to automatically report anyone with child support arrearages to the IRS so that any refunds due to them can be intercepted.

he pays his support through the county courthouse. do i have to tell the state that he is behind, and if so how?

when we originally went to court, it was witheld from his check. about a year after that he quit his job and went to work for his dad doing construction. there was no proof of income. 3 months after going to work for his dad, he went back to his old job at a lower pay rate. when we went back to court, they lowered the support and i forgot to ask for it to be witheld from his check again.

I would of thought that it still would of been taken out of his check. YES you need to go the child support division in your county courthouse but if you haven't started a case with them before you will probably have to now and if it's like my state could take months to get into there.

This case has been on-going since 99. he got married in 99 and had another child - they are now divorcing. his ex wants to bring up his back- support with my daughter during their court proceedings. should i let her?

Should read your state laws about support,etc....Strange it would be garnished, then dropped....usually once garnished...always. Ask,ask,ask...you can ask for anything...always good to have all addressed.....ask that ex must keep court w/ updated info..judge may say already in order but will verbally reinforce to ex & it goes in the record...next time judge sees, not only did ex not keep info correct but was specifically told such....ask that ex cannot take lower paying job, use last job change as proof ex may do such to avoid support. Work for any, work anywhere.....no proof of income is BS....has to get paid somehow, company has to account for that $ somehow,etc... My ex tried same...he was required to bring bank statements for 6 mnths, copy of any debts, etc.....Judge said...income not same,consistant, can't really show??? Said to ex...you show bills of rent,car,etc...how u pay...from job?? $ gets from employer to you (ex) somehow, figure out how to show or I will impute income......
We have never gone through CSS or a support agency...file the motion for no support, pay court fees & get a court date is way we always do............check your state though, all are different.

I BELIEVE CHILD SUPPORT GETS IN TOUCH WITH THE IRS THEMSELVES.
MY HUSBANDS PRESENT AND PAST SUPPORT COMES FROM HIS WAGES. IN 1996 AND 97 CS ONLY GOT FED. REFUNDS SINCE 1998
THEY ALSO TAKE STATE REFUND AND THIS SUMMER THE TAX RELIEF FUND TOO.

LUCKLY HE ONLY OWES A LITTLE MORE, HIS BACK CS WAS NOT AS MUCH AS THE ONES IN POST. IT WAS JUST THREE YEARS.
