Employer won't send payments
by Taryn Short

I have been through the ringer and then some when it comes to child support help. My ex husband has a court ordered wage withholding from his paycheck weekly. My problem is that the employer where he works won't send the payments weekly...which they were court ordered to do weekly. I have called the employer, wrote concerned e-mails and had my attorney last year send them a reminder of their obligation. The employer is very rude and non chalant and on one phone conversation stated that she was just to busy and she would get around to sending when she had time. I am very frustrated and wish the employer would do the right thing...I know I can take them to court for contempt and probably be able to get a theft charge but financially I can't afford the attorney and filing fees....does anyone have any suggestions or a story like mine?
