I responded to your post.

Hi all,
I am new to this forum. I too, have been battleing the child support system. My son's mother moved with her new husband over 11 years ago. I paid support until 2004 when the case was closed and I didn't know where the mother was. I was told by the state agency that I could no longer pay to them and they sent the funds back. Now the mother has resurfaced and reopened the case. I was notified I was behind over $22K. They have threatened to take my license, ruin my credit, and garnish my wages for current and past support as well as health insurance (even though I can not afford insurance for myself). This system is a joke. I had not seen or heard from my sone in over 11 years.

I am a mother that pays child support and I believe non-custodial parents have no rights. I have to go to court in another state just to get my child support modified. My son turned 18 last March and I am still paying for him also. The state just keeps adding interest as I am struggling to pay. I consulted an attorney about them going to court for me , but they said it would look bad for me to hire an attorney. So lets see either I keep getting screwed and go to court without an attorney or I hire one and I look bad in the judge's eyes.

I am not sure what your question is, but I have never heard a judge say it looked bad to be represented.

My husband is being hounded by these people. Most woman would be against me since its my husband they are going after but here's the deal...don't be. I completely agree with you!! I decided to have my child at the age of 16 with the biggest loser. I knew that having a child out of wedlock and with such a gem, that I would be responsible, solely, for the welfare of my child. Now if I knew this at 16, what the hell is wrong with woman in there adult years? If woman don't want to bear the burden of their own offspring, then use preventative measures you damn idiots!!! I NEVER went after child support! It was his choice to support or lack there of. My son knows who did what and he respects me at a different level then most mother and son relationships.
My husband's case is a mess. Everything about it. My question is:
1. If the mother turns over custody of the minor child, which is 12, and he has arrearages, does he continue to pay child support?

2. CSE just put out an order to suspend his license. Reason is because he entered into an agreement to pay CSE every month and they state they only received 2 payments this year. That is correct because one was paid directly to the mother as she had an emergency with the child and couldn't wait for CSE to send her the $$. How do these idiots expect fathers to keep their jobs if they can't drive to work? April isn't over therefore payment isn't late yet. Not sure if this was a question.

3. CSE told my husband that as long as he owes arrearages that the nother cannot request for CSE to be dropped. Id this true. We live in Miami, FL
