Should have paid that child support.

Fail to see anything different then the way I left them through my own immediate edits so perhaps assumption is rampant of why or who on the eidting..

But in getting back to the topic... although I would agree that the short and sweet 6 words used by last poster is good advice I would say it is not inclusive of the many facets involved in most cases.
From what I have seen in court it almost always becomes situation of the amounts to be paid are always changing up or down creating arrearages and disruptions to both parties family budget. I've sat and listened hours upon hours to cases and it comes down to lack of consideration not mainly by funds from paying party but by lack of consideration of what is feasible as a repayment schedule. More often then not people are in an extremely stressful stage of their life in getting divorced, splitting assets, trying to educate themselves for new career, etc. and they are forced in immediate fashion to come up with what they simply do not have. They need some amount of time to consolidate things and make life changes while at same time doing it without jeopardizing stability of households. I for one do not want to have to pay through my taxes for these peoples well being cause of rash court decisions. It really seemed like in cases I watched that the system around here was unable to offer up any logical attempt to keep the welfare rolls from doubling. It was like the laws of collection rates doom people to failure of repayment. Between license revokation, freezing of accounts, jail time.. these people are swamped and will not be out from under their problems imposed on them for many a years. Where as in a very short amount of time they could have created more stability and abilities to afford higher payments. Some the payers go off the radar for years in trying to hide and some go off radar cause they be flat indegent. Can be real difficult to keep jobs when employer is forced to do EDD paperworks they prefure not to. A person with no account must suffer large check cashing fees. A person with no address can't even get a decent job. The moment they get legit jobs too high a percentage is taken so as to be able to pay rent and food both let alone for a car to get to work.
Ayways.. it is as simple or as complex as one wishes to make it to be...

I just found out yesterday that a lien has been put on my son's father's bank account. I have to say that it is no one's fault but his own. I know for a fact that before the lien was issued child support recovery gave him several chances to make arrangements in the matter. In November of 2006 he received $100,000 in a auto accident settlement. He has yet to pay a penny, he owes $21,000 in back pay in my case, he has other children & cases. Since November I have received copies of several certified letters that he has received asking him to contact the office to speak with a case worker. He was even given the chance to have his payments lowered. He refused to cooperate with them so therefore they felt he left them no other option. There is a possibility that there is more to his situation then what he is letting you know about. I know from experience, because I am going through it right now, that child support recovery will make several attempts to get him to pay or make some type of arrangements. DO NOT TAKE THE ADVICE OF GETTING A NEW ACCOUNT TO KEEP THEM FROM GETTING THE MONEY, MY CASE WORKER INFORMED ME THAT IF THE LIEN DOES NOT WORK THE NEXT STEP IS JAIL, HE WILL DO WORK DETAIL UNTIL THE BALANCE IS $0. Regardless of what your husband has told you, the lien is the result of several unsuccessful attempts to get him to cooperate. Also be aware that they can go after your income as well if your employed, they can garnish the wages of a spouse and with hold your taxes to, that happened to a family member of mine. YOUR HUSBAND MAY NOT HAVE TOLD YOU EVERYTHING ABOUT THE MATTER.
