My wife is a workers comp claims adjuster. She is supposed to check if the person filing a claim is behind on child support.

When she finds out that they do owe, she can have their claim checks garnished to pay the child support up to a certain percentage at the adjuster's discretion.

She always garnishes the maximum and loves the phone calls she gets from the claimant- "Where's all my money?" When they gripe, she tells them she can't do anything about it and to talk to the Dept. of Child Services.

Very little sympathy for people who don't pay their child support.

What gets me is how in the hell was this guy even ALLOWED to get behind in cs payments by this much?
Here, i know a friend who was behind by $12 and cs contacted him by phone to ask him when he would be able to make the payment! Yes, you read right: $12!!!

If you work then obviously you pay child support. It gets worked out on an annual income figure, and then gets adjusted at tax time.
If you don't work, the cs gets deducted from your welfare payments. With regular estimates put in to cs this can go up or down, depending on your current taxable income.

In endeffect, you ALWAYS pay cs, no matter what you are currently doing in life. It's the law here.

That's why it stumps me so much that this guy is behind that much. I don't believe it tbh.

I wish it were the case here.

My ex-wife owes me over $1200. She hasn't paid in over 2 years - and is only required to pay $50 a month to start with. Between non-payment, her getting busted for welfare fraud, and now her actually having to work for once in her life - she still isn't doing right by her own child. Pretty sorry.

That's a very sad thing to see. Not just from the custodial parents' point of view but from the payee who can't or won't face up to responsibilities.
And it's not even about the money to be honest. It should be second nature that one faces up to the responsibilities and make the payments without so much as even blinking an eye lid.
