Child support

Its diffrent fropm state to state. Here in Connecticut my ex had to give the court money right at the court house. The thing is he has an oustanding child support balance. Your best bet is to be prepared. Do some investigating. Call Child Support Services and ask them how it all works. They are normally happy to give out the basics.

The best bet is to call your child support enforcement office and find out those answers. As for your issue with no money and not able to get your medicine, I would see if there is an agency that can assist you with that. Your obviously in dire straits and it would do you well if you visited your local welfare office. They can put you in the right direction as to who you need to call and maybe can give you emergency aid to get your medications and so on. I know I have had to do this in the past when I was in a bad financial strait. It's worth a shot!

I have no Idea about that, I think you some call Child support agengy, they should be able to tell you something, I guess the laws are different from state to state. It is so good to hear from you, I was wondering about you, I know you had'nt been here for sometime. good to hear from you! Mylot has changed quit a bit.

When child support begins will be determined at court. Some judges may make it retro active and demand partial payment immediately, others may make it retro active and set dates to pay the past due amount. Others may make it effective as of the court appearance and so would stipulate the payment plan at that time for some they may be told to pay weekly or month or bi monthy. So unfortunately the start payment date is not something that can be known however you may want to let the judge know that you have no money at all, but rather than stress that you have no money for your needs ie your medicine, but rather the children's needs, such as food etc.

You might contact the Attorney General's office. You might also consider calling some place that can help tide you over. Caratas (sp?) or other places like that can help you with one time money to assist you, but you really need to be sure that the AG's office knows that your ex is being difficult. If you have to go on AFDC they will go after him with hobnailed boots. I even know a guy who went to jail because he didn't pay his child support. And, Yes, I'm in Texas. I used to work where I saw the court documents come thru & knew people that worked with the child abuse hotline.

My child support came when he moved out of the house and filed the paperwork. I talked about this with him, and he agreed to it so he doesn't have back child support in a big amount. Although it's not much, but it helps buy a loaf of bread or something. Try talking to your ex, and explain to him that his child's needs should be taken into consideration. Good luck to you!

I do not know about the American system my friend but just wanted to wish you luck with it all because I haven't seen you around and do worry about you. I hope that you can sort your life out for you and your son and that you will be o.k and that my parayers are always with you and I will be thinking about you aLL the time..

...An interim agreement in my divorce process awarded me temporary child and spousal support. I had my attorney enter that if my soon to be ex fails to pay, it gets garnished. I do not intend to play games with the control freak! ...Let your attorney know where you stand. My ex has to pay for kid's meds. He also has to keep me on insurance until divorce is final. (You'd think he'd want it to get over as much, if not more than I do!) ...Good luck. Peace be with you. =(^;^)= Della
