The biological father of my 4 year old also has another child who is 3 with a different mom (yes he is a loser). She gets state assistance and I don't for my daughter. I filed my child support case before her though I think that her case is getting payments before mine since she has state medical assistance for the child. He now owes over $17,000 in back child support and she just turned 4! I Does anyone know the law on this? Should the state really get their money before the child? We were never married, he lives in Minnesota, I live in Wisconsin. The case is based in Minnesota.
YOUR RIGHT, if the other child is getting welfare, the state will want their money back from him; they go after the deadbeat worse then the IRS for all funds paid out to support his child(ren).
IN YOUR CASE; you need to pull rank and put some heat on the case.
------------
well the honor system doesnt work, thats been proven. its also why the state and federal government passed stronger laws for child support; they are TIRED of people not paying for their children.
the arrears still keep adding up.
1) call your caseworker and ask:
--request an enforcement hearing.
--where you apply for interest on the arrears?
--was the case submitted for tax refund intercept?
--was the arrears reported to the credit reporting agencies yet?
--ask why they have not taken his drivers license away yet?
--ask why they have not put liens on his bank accounts yet?
--ask why there has not been a warrant issued yet?
2) sit down and write a letter. in it, give your contact info, case number, his info, arrears amount, the problem and ask them what they are doing about it.
keep the letter short, its more effective that way.
then take that ONE letter and FAX it to the following:
a) BOTH your states Attorney Generals (link is below)
b) BOTH your states Governors (link is below)
c) BOTH your states Regional FEDERAL Child Support Office (link is below)
phone calls are useless; they are ignored, denied and forgotten. mail ends up on someones "to do" pile, but FAXES are effective. its proof you sent it and proof they recieved it, therefor, they HAVE to address it. if you cant find a fax number (most are listed online) then just call them and ask for it.
if you hear nothing in a week, fax them again. fax them weekly if need be. its the squeaky wheel that gets the oil, if ya know what i mean. WHO CARES if you miff 鈥榚m off, just keep at them until the problem is addressed.
3) Report his azz to the IRS (in writing), for he鈥檚 supporting himself, somehow. Tell them you strongly suspect him working under the table to avoid a child support order.
4) Report his azz to the Social Security Office if he鈥檚 been using others SS#.
5) post his DEADBEAT FACE on a DEADBEAT SITE online.
some links for you; just click on your state and find the subject you need.

You should see a lawyer. Look in the phone book under "Legal Aid" or ask the county welfare department to suggest someone. They may have someone who will negotiate between the agencies.
I would not trust YA for anything more important than "How do I tell if he likes me?"
At least you didn't get any rude answers.
You have a struggle ahead of you. I wish you well.
