[QUOTE="klmno, post: 389587, member: 3699"] They dss worker who originally worked with me when I had to start paying last year while difficult child was in Department of Juvenile Justice told me that when another state is involved, it all boils down to how much the dss worker assigned to the case in this state stays on the other state to keep pursuing it. The state does go after those parents who aren't paying while the state is putting out money to help take care of the child- but when it's another state putting out the money and the child doesn't live in the state where the non-custodial parent lives, it is much easier for to push those cases to the back burner and keep pulling the cases that are costing that particular state up to the front of the line. LDM- that method works fine for catching people who work legitimate jobs. But those who work under the table or wheel & deal to make a living don't have that kind of paper trail. This is another reason I'd be a sitting duck if I tried to sneak out of paying (which I wouldn't) but he can keep walking and never be held accountable. I am going to ask DSS if they will allow me to pay a little lower amount than the calculation chart suggests though, since I am just starting over and have to establish a home for difficult child while paying CS for him to live in Department of Juvenile Justice at the same time and mainly because I paid $150 more each month last year while being unemployed than I would have paid if they'd calculated it as me being unemployed, even though the court and DSS both knew I didn't have a job. I figure I have nothing to lose by asking. [/QUOTE]
