Social Security

by Wanda
(Dyer Indiana)


I am wondering if anybody knows anything about this? I took my ex husband to court 9 years ago to pay support for our son who is now 15 and he was ordered to pay $41 a week. He paid it to me for the time until he decided that he couldn't work because of his asthma. He got accepted for social security benefits and they also give me money to go towards utilities and food and things like that for my son. I have to send them receipts and an itemized statement each year to where the money is going. That is fine I don’t have a problem with that the problem that I am having is that he just stopped paying me what he was ordered to by the courts and did so almost one year ago, he also had two cash paying jobs. Does anyone know if he can stop paying or still has to because it is court ordered? Thank you so very much.

You can notify the dept of social services in your area and they will find him and make him pay including back support while you sit back and relax and wait for payday.
However there is no way you will ever see a penny of the cash job because there is no way for them to verify or garnish it.They will garnish his SS disability though.Good Luck!

by: David

As long as there is an existing court order, he will have to pay. Because he is not paying it now, interest and penalties will accumulate. It's in his best interest to pay it. If not, this will haunt him the rest of his life. It will affect his credit, driver's license, background checks for jobs, and a host of other things. If he's truly a deadbeat and has nothing to lose, they may take him to jail. That's what they do in Texas.

Escaping child support is becoming a thing of the past. These agencies get funding for every dollar collected, so rest assured he will never be free.
