This is to help maintain the home for the child which many have misconstrued as monies for the parent. This has been an ongoing debate and non-custodial parents feel they should know where their money is being spent. Courts have opposed this as of today. When child support was introduced in 1975, many non-custodial parents would refuse to pay and many children were thrust into poverty. Currently, not paying child support according to Child Support Laws (2014),”made it a Federal crime to willfully fail to pay past-due child support payments.” Punishment can include loss of driver's license or passport, not able to obtain credit, and possibly not able to obtain

Child support is by far the most common thing in America. Families which include both parents are slowly dying out. Although raising a child in a single family home might be easy to some, it is actually pretty stressful for those who aren’t financially stabled. I could go into many details and situations regarding child support due to the fact that my siblings are either on the supporting side or the one who needs the support. Child support is a very big deal to me because I do feel that if the other parent doesn’t want to be in that child’s life then the least they could do is give money to the care giver so that child is not going without, especially in the infant stage.

While he has provided financial support, which was court mandated, he has never actively been involved in her life. His commitment to his daughter’s academic achievements and school accolades is non-existent. Abby has five siblings that are also on my caseload. This has been consistent with all five of them. To my knowledge, her father’s only commitment is to the financial responsibility mandated by the court.

Which means even if the noncustodial parents live in another State he can still be tracked down for support. Employers are vital to the child support program. Child support can be collected through direct wage withholding. This will also implement the employer to enroll children in health insurance, and remit child support o the State Disbursement Unit. Intercepting state and federal tax return, workers compensation, and unemployment payments is another action that can be taken to obtain support. Both the custody and noncustodial parent will be sent letter informing of such action. In some cases if support is left unpaid there will be a order to report back to court where the noncustodial parent may be given the option to go pay amount due or ordered to jail. If the noncustodial parent does not show up for court the judge will issue a warrant. In most cases passports and driver’s license have even been revoked for not paying order child support. I have seen the judge go as far as suspending certain business

On July 9, 2008, the CP requested enforcement; DHR filed contempt against the NCP because he had not paid a child support payment since April 2008. The NCP appeared in court and paid $400.00; the court dismissed the review because an IWO had been mailed and the payments were being received through the IWO. On November 5, 2010, a contempt action was filed again, due to the NCP not paying child support since August 2010.

The agency contact DHR Legal to get an opinion on this order. While child support judgement cannot be discharged; the major question to Legal was did this render the order unenforceable. DHR Legal stated that if the court had made a factual finding that there was no arrears owed, and then there would not be any arrears owed. Instead, the court responded to DHR’s petition and the CP’s request for an income withholding order. The order stated that the arrears could not be determined after testimony. The order was silent as to what exactly made the arrears indeterminable, the order does not state that there would never be a way to determine the arrears in the future with additional evidence, it does not state the arrears has been satisfied or zeroed, and it does not state the arrears are unenforceable. DHR Legal quoted from a civil appeals case in which the court had not preserved the arrears; the Court of Civil Appeals rule that the court did not have to preserve the arrears. Therefore, at this point, the agency believes the order is valid and enforceable. The order bring back the policy 9.1.2.a.C which is paraphrase as when the client comes in and there is an order established prior to application, have the client to fill out of the Affidavit of Past Due Support, gather all available payment records; this is what the

If the noncustodial parent is already behind on payments they will investigate as much as they can based on the information you have given to them. However, they will not represent you in court if that is the next step to be taken. You may also apply for legal aid and if your circumstances are right and a court appointed lawyer may be provided. However, this does not mean that you will get a great lawyer or one that is best for your case. The noncustodial parent may get a more experienced lawyer. There are other steps that can be taken at this point which include; hiring a privet investigator, hiring an agency dedicated to acquiring child support, or hiring an attorney to file contempt charges against the noncustodial parent. None of these options are inexpensive and if the custodial parent is already not receiving child support they may have run out of options and money needed to go back to court to file charges.Even if contempt charges are filed, the noncustodial parent must still be arrested so their last known address must be known. If the noncustodial parent has moved or cannot be found for them the best that can be hoped for is that they unfortunately get arrested for something else in the mean time or hope that they decide to start making payments.

Since Mr. and Mrs. Green intend on having joint custody of the children, it looks as if all aspects of rearing the children, including expenses as well as decision-making would be shared among the parents. Although it is "shared", that does not signify that it will be equally shared. The court will determine, based on the formula contained in the Kentucky Child Support Guidelines, what each parent pays. Furthermore, since Mrs. Green is without income as a homemaker, it seems as though some sort of child support payment should be paid in regards to the children while they are residing in her home. Also, if Mr. Green takes a job, earning less income due to health problems, this may affect the amount of child support he would be obligated to pay, but it shouldn't keep him from being required to pay some sort of child support. This job change can cause the court to deviate from the guidelines. However, the court may look at Mrs. Green's unemployment as being voluntary. Thus, the court may not use that issue in determining the child support Mr. Green should be obligated to pay. The court will probably not order Mrs. Green to obtain employment, but in looking at the facts, there is no valid reason as to her unemployment, and it may be in the
