changing jobs to stop wage garnishment

[purelyinsane]

What is the name of your state? cs in WV

So we're tired of child support getting the direct depost payments switched with another employee at my husbands work place who also pays into wv. they did it again. and the other two times were supposed to be fixed but it doesn't show it on the new statement. It costs quite a bit to keep faxing these people paycheck stubs especially when it doesn't seem to matter anyway.

Husband has decided to quit his job and go somewhere else to work and send in personal checks to pay for his support. The order is for wage garnishment but will anyone complain as long as cse is getting the proper child support each month?

when he is hired on at the new place- csea can easily find him there (and he is probably required by law to inform them of change in employers) and garnish his wages there

I would actually start with his payroll office- they may not have the case numbers right and if that is the problem and it gets fixed then this whole headache goes away

No his employer is sending the money. they combine all the money and send it all to the cse then they disburse it. we've went through this. yeah he's require by law to inform them of the change but he's not going to. and if they want to find him at his new employer they can. i just figured as long as he pays support on time no one would even care. aren't they too busy tracking down "dead beats" instead of those who are paying regardless of the method?

So we're tired of ...

We're tired, too.

We're mostly tired of people who give WRONG answers to legal questions.

Well then he is an idiot and will be found in contempt of court.

The garnishment is not how the court or the government wants to deal with this.

If the CS had been paid, then no arrearage would have developed, and their would be no garnishment.

You can't just escape this because it is annoying or sending faxes is a burden.

no they do mandatory wage garnishment on all support collected by their state if possible. he's always paid his support since he found out he had a child. can't help it that mom is a lazy bum who was on welfare for a couple years. but the arrears are gone. we just want to stop the direct deposit from his paychecks because it's apparent that cse is a bunch of idiots.

we'll try it and see. worst case scenerio he will be held in contempt and will start wage garnishment again.

No the worst case scenario is this: Dad pays Mom directly and not through CSE. CSE finds Dad's new employer after a few months/years etc. NOW Dad is in arrears for all those months he didn't pay CSE directly. Because you do know that ANY money sent directly to Mom is considered a "gift". But go ahead. Do what you want.

Either he paid or didn't.

If he had an arrearage:

He DID NOT pay in full and / or on time

CSE can and will garnish.

When the arrearage was settled it is not a go back the way it was, with self paying.

You have to deal with the garnishment, as a consequence of screwing it up when you had the chance.

Do it your way, by all means.

You'll be thrilled when you realize you will be paying the 'lazy welfare bum' twice.

YEEEES......but as someone who does payroll.....will multiple cs payers....I know you CAN easily indicate what amount goes to which account...which is why I suggest talking with the person who does payroll---your hubby talking to them, not you

 

[Silverplum]

Why do people have to repeat themselves on this board?

I have NO IDEA WHY people refuse to do their research, so that WE have to repeat ourselves over and over and over again. It's amazing to me how lazy people really are.

However, if he "self pays" directly TO CSE in accordance with his required pay amounts and schedule, then the source of payment may not be that big a deal. Nor would it count as a "gift". THis would be no different than a payor continuing CS on their own when not working, or their spouse paying it for them. Technically, if I wanted to pay my CS order out of my savings and take a year off of work, and payed obediently out of savings to CSE each month, that would still be OK.

You would think that is what they are supposed to be doing, but really....SES/CSE likes to mess with the low fruit on the tree, if you know what I mean. In other words, your husband isnt dodging support like someone who REALLY wants to dodge support, so its more likely they will be after him than some guy who works for cash or drives with a suspended license.

An "arrearage" can occur when papers are filed & it takes a few months to get into court for an order.

So having an arrearage DOES NOT neccessarily mean someone wasnt paying when ordered to

A lot of states also have mandatory wage garnishment too.

If your husband pay his support in full every week AND sends it through your state's support disbursement unit, he really cannot get into any real legal trouble. The bottom line is that even if support is supposed to be paid by garnishment, the only thing the CSE agency is interested in is that the support IS paid.

Now, having said that, it really is better for him to pay through garnishment, even when it gets messed up. That is the ONLY foolproof method of paying, getting the correct credit for it, and being able to prove payments were made. Plus, it has another benefit- it's one monthly bill that you never have to worry about forgetting to pay, or scrambling to get a check in the mail on time, or lost in the mail. It's easier for a NCP to pay by garnishment.
