Child Support Enforcement
Get the Child Support You Are Entitled To!
When I went before the judge, she asked me about child support and I told her I did not want anything from my wife. The judge then told me that by law I had to take some kind of monetary support from my wife and that the minimum would be $35.00 a week in child support and I agreed. So the papers being signed and documented I went on my way. Well, trying to get the child support from her was impossible. I went to 5 different lawyers in Chicago, each telling me the same thing, that unless she had something of real value like a new car, real estate etc... I wouldn't be getting anything, but I could sue her at my expense. I thought why should it be at my expense when there is a exsisting court order for her to pay the child support. I contacted state agencies, public aid, legal aid but got nowhere. In 1987 I remarried and in 1989 moved to Central Illinois where I have remained to this day. While living in Central Illinois I contacted 3 different lawyers and the same state agencies, only to hear the same story, so in 1992 I finally just gave up. Now my 9 and 7 year old are now 28 and 26 years old, and since moved out of the house over 8 years ago.
This last August I was watching television and a commercial came up about a private agency that will collect your child support for a percentage of what is owed to you. I called them and told them that I have child support owed to me but my children are grown and have not been living with me since they turned 18. They told me that, that does not matter it is court ordered and they sent me an application. I sent away for a copy of my divorce papers from the Circuit Clerks Office of Cook County, filled out the application and along with my divorce papers and a copy of my drivers license I sent it in. Within 2 weeks I got a response saying that they have located my ex-wife living in North Carolina. They calculated that she owed me $21,385.47 in back child support and with the interest accumulated was $27,266.40 for a total of $48,651.87. Since then they have contacted her and she denies ever signing any papers to the effect of paying child support.
They have now sent her copies of the court order and have now contacted her place of employment for wage garnishment and my support checks are now finally coming in. So if anyone out there is in the same predicament I was in please check out these private agencies. The one I am using is charging a 29% recovery fee which I really don't mind because I figure at least I am getting most of the money that I had written off years ago. So don't let your deadbeat ex husband or wife get away without paying the child support you deserve and make them be accountable for their responsibilities!!!

Post a CommentWhy all the details about the breakup ? They do not and never did matter. You said you did not want anything from her, then you said you deserved it ? which is it ? You are paying 29% to a third party because you are naive about how the system works. The DA, which has more power than this third party could do it for free. You have no right to call your ex a deadbeat, if you never wanting any money in the first place.
About getting back support is not easy. State of Michigan issued warrant to Texas to send my ex back for owing over 198,000.000in back support in 2005.Michigan vs Michael James Runkel its on Google. My ex went to court of appeals and lost, but Michigan Attoney Generals ffice kept telling me it would take a long time to get to that court hearing . Finally in 2007 I got fed up with no answers that I called every court in Texas and the court of appeals told me he lost and told me where my court files were at so I called. Next thing I know that court picked him up and sent him back. Michigan went and got him only to not pull any of my files here in Michigan when it came to court but to also find out the statue of limitions had run out on his return . The attoney General Office in Michigan did everything wrong and the court here let him go back to Texas without paying a penny owed.I have to say I have the Transcript from Texas only to find out that Michgian knew he lost the court of Appeal
How Child Support Enforsment at Chicago works?.... They toke a money from the father of my daughter banck account and guess what....we never got a dime from that money!!! Every time I called them up they are telling me a diffrent lies..that they still process that...what??? Been a 2 months!!! Me and my daughter had the most horible Christmas ever!!! We are about to be a homless!! Thats how the gov take care of us and our kids, using our money...SHAME!!!!!
The only way for us to fight against this modern day slavery is to starve the beast. Stop showing it good will, stop sending it money, demand justice and spread the message. Change will come when the system crashes.
I am the custodial parent of a nine year old whose father asked me for a divorce when she was six months old. He got what he asked for, but he expected to get custody since he was the one working while I was in school. We got joint custody and he was ordered to pay $400 per month plus maintain health insurance and pay half of any unpaid medical bills. In the past eight years, he has never kept insurance on her and he is over $7000 in arrears. He doesn't own anything and he works in the restaurant business. He has gone from management to waiting tables to avoid paying child support. His DL has been suspended for years on and off and I cannot even get a court date. He defaulted on student loans so I do not receive the tax return offset. I am a school teacher in GA and he has moved all over the place...now still in GA and doesn't practice the every other weekend and holiday visitation unless he has a girlfriend who can watch our daughter for him. His phone is disconnected at the
I'm reading a lot of comments from father regarding how they feel that they are being mistreated, but what about the children that they have fathered? Child support IS and SHOULD BE just that...it's support for your children! Isn't the RIGHT thing to help every month to help provide for their well being? My ex is 8,000.00 behind in child support...he lives in a 200,000.00 home with his new wife and they all drive new cars. Oh..not to mention they are going to Mexico and FL, meanwhile...my children have been forgotten about. Do you fathers ever stop to think about how these kids must feel? It cost $$ to raise them...and they deserve to have even some simple things while they are children. I hope and pray that my ex will be made responsible for the money that he owes. On the months where he shrugs and says, "sorry...I just don't have it" I've still had to put food on the table, pay the bills, miss work if they get sick, care for them on a daily basis and he complains about sendin
This sounds like and advertisment for a collection agency. The District Attorney has a payroll of millions. They get money, even if it takes many years and the debt never goes away. You said you never wanted money from your wife, but the judge made you get some by law. So you did. Then your call her a " deadbeat". It does not make sense. Even if the kids are emancipated the money is still owed to you, yes, that is true. NO third party none legal entity of the family court can garnish your ex's paychecks. So, re-write this article with facts, please.
Child support is a lie and it boils down to legalize slavery and violates due process. Men stand and be counted, call your congressman and senator. Child support laws are wrong and they only serve to disenfranchise men especially African american men. No Due Process! Men need to protest more @ DHS (Department of Human Services)
If you are owed back child support there is not any state agency that will do any thing if the kids are over 18.
Reform is going in the wrong direction, from my experience the system makes dead beat dads, I owed over $8,000.00 in back pay the day I walked out of the court room. Why you ask? Because my CS was so high I could no longer pay my rent or stay in the same state as my children. I couldn't afford to fix my 20 year old car and keep it on the road or get another car which made it very difficult to keep working. Is this right? I pay my child support on time but, after the move I was an emotional disaster being without my children, I was so messed up I couldn't have worked even if I wanted to. Any parent who loved their children would feel the same way I do. I was the most terrible experience I ever faced. I needed a few months to put myself together again, and the amount of time it took me to find a job put me $20,000 in the arrears in less than 5 months. I guess that makes me a dead beat right...Not mention the debt that fell upon me from the divorce, I plain and simply can't survive on m
