No, it's a matter for the obligor to report the situation to the court, and either request a modification of support, and/or custody order as soon as they discover that the child is not living with the custodial parent. The court can investigate the situation.
The child support payments are not ever paid over to the child. The child support payments will be directed by the court to whoever has legal custody or guardianship over the child. If the child is in a foster home the child support will be paid over to the state.
Only if she misrepresented his income, whereabouts, etc. and even then, it's unlikely that the State would prosecute - fraud is a criminal matter.
No, that is considered fraud, and is an arrestable offence.
no
No, as long as the money paid is going to the house where the child lives then you can not get into trouble at all. However, if the child and her mother are receiving any form of state assistance you and the mother could get into trouble for committing fraud.
That issue is affected by state laws and court orders and separation agreements. You need to find the answer before claiming the child. In some states the working custodial parent has the right to claim the child as a dependent regardless if the non-custodial parent pays child support in recognition that the parent with custody generally spends more time and money on caring for the child.
yes it is and should be reported.
Once a parent signs away or has parental rights terminated - s/he is no longer responsible for the child in any way. When child support is being automatically withdrawn by the state, it sometimes takes awhile to get the state to make the necessary changes. When this happens the state or parent receiving the funds will be responsible for refunding any extra money's collected. Arrears, interest or fees will still need to be paid.
Every father should do it that way to avoid fraud on the part of the mother. see link
No. Child support is paid by a non-custodial parent to the custodial parent. If the parents are not supporting their child the child should speak with a trusted adult who can help them report the situation to the proper authorities.
Contact IN WRITING the prosecutor's office in the county/state in which your case resides and report that you have not received child support. When doing this state the following in your letter1 Your case number2 Child's name3. Father's name4. Your name, address, and social security number5. The last date you got child support and in what amountYou can report child support fraud here: https://oig.hhs.gov/fraud/child-support-enforcement/
I would say Go to the Welfare office and ask to report. I'm not sure about this, but a family member told me that they have done it before. The mother was not claiming Child-Support payments on her welfare. Added: Many states have laws that allow the state to come after the non-custodial parent for reimbursement if the custodial parent collected assistance when child support was due but not paid. Meaning, you need to report this to protect yourself. Contact the state agency responsible for administering whatever assistance she is receiving to inquire about fraud.
Absolutely!!!!!!!!! Fraud is fradu and ANYONE can bring the charges to the proper authorities.
Yes, but child support received must be reported to Social Security (or it's fraud).
