I understand that concept of child support... But what are my other options?
I have a 2 year old (well almost 2) daughter, that her sperm donor has had nothing to do with, and has never spent the first dime on her at all. Well I put child support against him, at this current point in time, he owes close to 5,000 dollars, and nothing has been done, or anything, I understand that he has to pay or go to jail. If he does go to jail, I still won't get the money, and I am financially burdened, what should I do, just any advice would help, I know that I am not alone in this.
**He has tried numerous times to get back with me, like he is doing now, but I know that I am better than him, he lives off people etc. Only cares about himself, has 2 kids, and maybe another one on the way, if its his. He has played between me and another girl for a couple years now. We have compared same days that he was with me and her, we are friends now, and he is with her best friend(the one the 3rd kid is for, maybe) I know that all this sounds horrible, and yes at one point in time I loved him, but now it just makes me sick to see him so childish and doesn't care whatsoever about either child. I am better than that

I would say keep trying at court. I'm not sure about them putting him in jail. My dead beat uncle never paid his child support and he never went to jail over it, but then again if his ex didn't push for the support, then he probably wouldn't have to go to jail anyway. Have you tried taking him back to court over it? If you haven't you should, it will probably help.

If you have a court order for support then take it to your local child support agency and they will help. They have the power, given by the courts, to enforce the order such as drafting his pay, or taking his income tax refund. It won't cost you anything but your time. If need be they will take him back to court for nonpayment. Its not likely that he will be put in jail but he may have to pay interest and fees on top of the support. Who knows what a Judge will do, the Judge might just put him in jail but that doesn't help the children get their money so I can't see it happening.

Thanks, He is Court Ordered to do so. They have revoked his drivers license, he only works for cash that way it won't be taken out of his pay, he thinks he is smart. And then he has a warrant in this parish/county, but he lives in another parish/county

Well, all who is keeping track with this one... They arrested him, and can't get out unless he pays $2500...

That's great!

Does he own any real assets (real estate, boat, valuable heirlooms, etc.)? You can always have a lien placed on these items. If he is employed then his employer should be paying the child support via wage withholding. There's always the possibility of intercepting his tax refunds. It mostly boils down to how vigorously your state enforces child support.

He has nothing... He lives off other people, including myself. But he gets paid cash from his boss, so that he won't have to pay. I don't even think that he pays income tax. He's so crooked, He's out of jail now... I so tired of dealing with him.
