The most common type of legal recourse taken by child support agencies to collect payments is wage garnishment. Wage garnishment is where the money owed is taken directly from one's paychecks.
Take all written proof (paystubs, etc.) to the Child Support Services agency collecting the payments, or to the court where the judgment for child support was made.
Child support from a deployed soldier can still be taken from the soldiers pay and sent to you. You will need to speak to an attorney for more details.
When you claim that your ex is behind in payments, the support enforcement agency will get permission to get any arrears from your ex's tax return, this is after they have already tried to get payments from them and could not.
they can hire a collection agency, they will try and collect any debts for a percentage.
They would file for termination of child support at the agency in charge of collection and disbursement of support payments in the area where they live.
I suggest that you contact your State's child support agency. When you get an interview with them, bring all the papers relating to your child support: birth certificates, acknowledgments of paternity, court orders, payment records, etc. Be polite but persistent. Good luck!
To get child support payments faster, ensure that all necessary paperwork is completed accurately and submitted to the relevant child support agency without delays. Communicate regularly with the agency to track the status of your case and address any issues promptly. Additionally, consider setting up direct deposit for payments, which can expedite the process. If problems persist, consult a legal professional for assistance in enforcing the support order.
Visit the court and ask to speak with an advocate with the state Child Support Enforcement agency.
There is no time limit placed on their collection efforts to collect a debt. However, there is a SOL for legal recourse and for how long it can report on your credit reports. Reporting time is 7 years and so far as the SOL for legal recourse you would have to check your state laws to see how long.
If you're trying to collect past-due child support, I suggest you contact your State's child support agency. Good luck!
He may, but the funds in the 401K, as well as any other assets he has, are subject to a lien by the State to collect the past-due support.How do I go about getting a lien if he lives in another state??Contact the child support agency in your state; they can coordinate this with the child support agency in his state. Be insistent/persistent. Good luck!
A collection agency is not hired to get the amount paid in payments they are paid to get the amount in full. At this point the place you originally owed the money to and did not pay may or may not be willing to take payments being that they have now hired the collection agency to get the money from you. YOu can call the original creditor and tell them you are willing to pay and if they say no then you must pay the collection agency, I have never heard of any of them taking payments. When they get hired they try to collect as much as possible of the owed amount so they can get a higher commission. They dont want payments they want money in full....
