Child support enforcement issue
State of residence is Nebraska.
I have full legal and physical custody of my two sons. My ex-wife is supposed to be paying child support, but isn't. I stay in touch with the state Child Support Enforcement agency, and several times they've tried to garnish her wages when she was working. Each time she'd quit her job to avoid garnishment. They found one of her bank accounts and took the $10.40 that was in there. In the last nine months they've attempted several times to suspend her driver's license. Each time, though, they have to back off because Nebraska has a law that Child Support Enforcement cannot carry out any enforcement action if the target is receiving public assistance, which she is. She had another child out of wedlock a couple years back, who doesn't even know he has a father, and is receiving ADC, WIC, etc. Is there anything I can do to personally go about enforcing the child support order? If I file a motion to have her show cause for failing to comply with the court order, will the court do anything, or just shrug its shoulders because of her being on public assistance? Thanks in advance for all replies. |

Thanks in advance for all replies. Laws might exist that limit the power of an enforcement agency but almost no laws exist that limit what a judge can order. So if you really NEED the money you could try and get a judge to act. The problem is that the judge's responsibility it to determine the remedy that suits the interests of all the families/children involved, and society as a whole, not just yours. The individual judges point of view is extremely important and can vary widely. So I would read a number of his/her decisions on similar matters (available at the county courthouse) before I spent a ton of money on a lawyer. Because honestly, if you are making enough to be resonably expected to make ends meet, almost no judge is going to put serious pressure on a far more at risk family than yours. Thats simply because if your ex fails as a mother and her child ends up abused/neglected the cost to taxpayers and society is far higher than if your children have to make do with a little less. And yes I know it sucks, but no one can force your ex to get her head out of her ass. Also be careful about going after this too passionately, that much hate against their mother can poison a relationship between you and the kids, and seldom worth the pain and bitterness it generates.

All the court will do at this point is lower or eliminate support altogether and have her pay about $10. per month toward arrears. |

Do you really need the support that bad? It sounds more like you are trying to punish this woman. It's pretty obvious that she has very little money to go after. Each time, though, they have to back off because Nebraska has a law that Child Support Enforcement cannot carry out any enforcement action if the target is receiving public assistance, which she is. She had another child out of wedlock a couple years back, who doesn't even know he has a father, and is receiving ADC, WIC, etc. What good will it do you to take away her driver's license? It won't put money in your pocket and it will make it even harder to support the child she has now. While you might get some revenge-satisfaction out of it...what's the point? Get on with your life and be happy that you get to have your kids. Screw the support! Is there anything I can do to personally go about enforcing the child support order? If I file a motion to have her show cause for failing to comply with the court order, will the court do anything, or just shrug its shoulders because of her being on public assistance? Most likely they won't do anything if she's on PA. In the meantime, your kids are watching you spending time trying to hurt their mother who already seems to have serious issues to begin with. IMHO you should take the time and energy and do something constructive with your kids. Beating up on mommy just isn't going to impress them all that much. Thanks in advance for all replies. I'm sorry if I seem a bit harsh, but you need to realize that some of us here would do anything to be in your spot...you have your kids! You get to enjoy them almost everyday. You are not like most of us that have to pay the person that in many cases is trying to shut you out of your kid's live's. Your complaint is almost the same as a guy walking down skid row complaining about how he ate too much steak while everyone else would just be happy with a bowl of soup. |

True, true, but I've read too many horror stories about how judges routinely DISregard the second family of a NCP man, who might be in dire financial straits but the second family "doesn't matter" in the eyes of the law. - Ron ^*^ |

Hoi per_l
Did you know that by forcing your childs mother to pay child support, you have signed over your childs rights to have MOM in its life to child support enforcement agencies ( The US Government ) you probably will end up not getting one cent from your childs Mom in the end. May I ask you a question? How come you have legal physical custody of your child? Do you not enjoy joint physical custody?

Child support enforcement issue
Funny how when a man "demands" CS and for a woman to be responsible for
a child, the people, mostly women, complain and moan about the man trying to get all the money away from the ex...but when it's the MEN who are being looked at to pay, the woman immediately hide behind the best interests of the child...sickning.
