[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 389503, member: 1233"] k, there are companies out there who will go chase him down and get the court stuff done for you. They will take a % of whatever the back amount due is, the big first check, and then that is it. They don't collect from YOU, only from him. A lot of parents don't want to because they don't want to give a big % of the $$ to anyone, and because the child support enforcement people will tell them they do the same thing for free. The problem is that the enforcement people don't really do much of anything for ANYONE other than send letters. In some states they do even less than that (as you have seen). in my humble opinion it would be better to have one of these people take it to court on contingency and take 40% or even 50% of the first few thousand dollars you are awarded than to keep waiting for the state to do nothing and to continue to get nothing. I do know a woman who did her own enforcement via the courts in Cincy. She took photos of her ex driving a brand new pickup with his boss's company name on the side, even tracked ownership of the vehicle to him via the VIN and the registration bureau. Then she went to the judge with the photos, the registration info, and got the court to order copies of his bank statements and his boss's company records. He was the father of 4 of her kids including one who was incredibly sick with diabetes with hundreds of thousands of dollars of unpaid support while he earned 100K a year under the table, kept assets hidden IN HER CHILDREN'S NAMES like his house and car. yes, the judge already went after his wife for hiding assets so the man put their home and car in her sick child's name. The child for whom he refused to keep health insurance as ordered by the court, or to pay any of the medical bills or anything else. She ended up selling his lovely expensive new home out from under him as conservator of her children's assets by court order. The court ordered the sale and the $$ put into a trust that he could not touch. This judge was on a big tirade against deadbeat parents and did what few judges will do - which is truly enforce the laws. The judge even socked the guys employer with big fines AND turned the records over to both the state income tax dept and the IRS. The judge did recommend to many of the parents who were not getting the support that they were ordered that they use the private agencies as long as the fees were all paid by the back amount ordered and NOT paid by the custodial parent. I wish a whole lot more could be done in our system to make sure that kids all get the support that is appropriate. Some abuse the system, but most of the abuse is done to the kids and custodial parents. I do believe there is a special place in Hades for those who do not pay child support. [/QUOTE]
