interstate matter

[rachelweathers]

What is the name of your state? Pennslyvania


I am married to a man that pays child support to his ex who remarried someone and lives in massachusetts. The order was issued in Oklahoma. My husband has no visitation because his ex goes through great measures to hide where she is at. The DOR collects my husbands money but will not let us know anything about how his kids are doing? This is not fair and those kids have a new brother and sister that they do not even know about (me and my husbands offspring). Why is it fair to take money from a family who works their asses off to provide two households and not even have a clue how the other two kids are doing? To me, it seems that the courts only care about collecting a check, not about keeping children in contact with their fathers.

Child support enforcement by law cannot release contact information to either party.

if your husband has a visitation order he needs to enforce it through the court it was ordered in.

Been there, done that, got the tee shirt and custody! Try sending a letter to the last known address with forwarding address requested. Or, send a FOIA request to the postmaster of the last town the ex was living in. I know it is maddening to pay CS on a child that you know nothing about, but if you keep fighting and searching you will find them. My hubby's ex moved 6 times and put his daughter into a parochial school so we couldn't even get school info on her because privately funded schools don't run on the same rule system as publicly funded schools. It took us 3 years worth of fighting the court system, but we did finally get physical custody of my stepdaughter. We are playing the game with CSE too. They won't tell us anything other than the fact that the late payment (ha ha 3 years late) letter they sent out was returned with a bad address.
I wish you luck in finding your skids.
