Trying to get child support order

Hi, I have been trying to get an order for child support since December 2006. I live in a different state then the father. Although I am receiving Public assistance and they say they are working on it, nothing at all has happened. I know the location of the father , but for some reason it is taking long and nothing happens. All i get in the mail are letters form the welfare asking me if i want to continue child support enforcement over and over again.

You need to go down to the child support office and speak to someone face to face....if they don't answer your questions or get the ball rolling you ask to speak to a supervisor. There is no reason this should be taking this long.

My mother was the biggest thorn in the side of child support enforcement in our state and the state where my father resides. She was like a pitbull she latched on and never let go until they got our support money. Its unfortunate but its what you have to do. Those people are so overworked and have so many cases that sometimes things slip through the cracks unless you are there in someones face saying EXCUSE ME!

I totally agree with ya Glinda....they know me by name haha! When they don't return my calls, I call back and leave a message demanding a call from a supervisor....and SURPRISE I get a call back that same day!

That was my mom she knew EVERYBODY in the office. They heard her name and she would always get a call back. If she didn't get what she wanted well then she'd just show up. See em not return a call when you're in their face

If I am not mistaken...you are on welfare,and it means the child support has to be collected by CSE,not by you.

GV70 I think that all support is collected via CSE. My mom never received a check directly from my father it always was filtered through CSE. However, in order to get CSE to get on top of someone to collect arrears you have to constantly be in the face of CSE as macksmom and I pointed out

No-there is no a rule that all support is collected via CSE.CSE is obligated to act when paternity is established or in other cases as it was said.A friend of mine always receive CS via bank accounts.

Yeah, child support is always filtered through CSEA. They get the child support then send the parent a check or directly deposit it.

I do not know...I know that she receives CS every month via bank transfers and it was accepted by the court...maybe the reason is they live mostly in Europe.
