Hi Im a single mother and have a four year old son. I do get child support currently from his father but it seem about the end of september he was laid off. He did not bother to call and tell me, once aging I had to hear this info from his mom. this of course effects both the payment and my son insurance. Luckyley he did get a new job but he has faild to contact the attorney genral and let the know his new info so changes could be made. He wont answer me and thing need to be taken care of. I have contact the attorney general and right now all the can do is send him a questionare to get the updated info and nothing has been recived. I've only recived half of what he owes me for this month and according to them I cant do anything till after the first then all the will do is send letter. I do not feel I need to play this waiting game and was wondering if anyone might know of good lawyer that can help me. I cant afford much, but i not sure what else I can do . I feel as if im not getting all the answers and there more I can do. thanks C.

What can I do next?

I don't know how they do it, but the Attorney General somehow tracks a NCP's employment information and sends them the withholding letter. Might not be as timely as you would like, but they will do it. I know first hand.

If you know already where he is employed, you should send the Attorney General that information of his new employer's address so they can go ahead and send that letter to them to begin withholding.

Really, there is no reason to get an attorney for a thing that will be resolved shortly -- just not tomorrow. If you really need one, I have a great family law attorney that I am currently working with. Contact me and I'll send you her info.

Otherwise, good luck!

You have been given great advice.... let the AG's office do it for you. The statistics are that he will never be regular on his payments, sadly. The best advice I can give you is to learn to live without the child support and save it when you do get it. I learned it the hard way but have managed for 13 years without support and now, ex has passed away. It is horrible the way non custodial parents (not just dads) do not feel they are responsible financially for their children but it is fact.

My best to you...

I also agree with Lynn. They will eventually track him down, it will just take a bit longer.

I wouldn't spend the money on a lawyer.

Have you asked his mom who he's working for yet?

I eventually got the name of a company and called the attorney general and they were able to figure out what city..etc. and it was out of state!! it took less than 2 months.

Maybe you could ask him for the updated insurance card, and you'll get the company name that way too?
