NCP not paying CSE slow to act on it

[Tinkster1020]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL

My x husband lives in Ohio, I live in Florida. He use to live in Florida and that is where our Order for Support, Income deduction, all Orders as a matter of fact are from FL. I have been a client of CSE here in FL for over 7 years now. My x husband has been in and out of arrears ever since our divorce over 12 years ago. His balances have been as high as 9,000 something to as low as zero. He has not made a payment now since Spring. I found out CSE here in Florida has asked Ohio to help them (Interstate Child Support they called it).

I also learned that my x is living with his brother, working for cash (his brother owns his own business) so I guess one of my questions is if a NCP is bent on not paying their CS they really are not going to pay and no matter how much or how little CSE does to compel them it won't matter? Furthermore, is it difficult to impossible to find a judge that will acutally take sanctions against a NCP that is in arrears, as far as issuing a warrant, issuing is a WRIT? Where they take their bank account or personal property?

My x has been found in contempt of court 4 times, and is looking at possibly a fifth next month. I had him served in Ohio and have a case pending here in FL. I dont even know how all that will work out since the Interstate case is going on, however the Clerk of Court issued a Default against him.

Why is it that CSE takes SO long to do their job? I know they have alot of cases to work, FL is huge. However, it seems whenever I call it takes 30 days to anything, answer a question, anything. They would not even take down my x husbands address, they said they had to verify through the post office and that would take 30 to 45 days. Yet I sent them proof that I had just had him served by the county sheriffs at that address. It seems like the system in some ways is working against the kids and the CP.

Its frustrating. Meanwhile, his arrears continues to mount, and I dont think he will pay another dime until he serves some jailtime. So I wait and not so patiently wonder what will happen once Ohio finally imputes my information in their system (which they have had since mid july).

Unfortunately, it sounds like evrything that can be done is being done. Some NCPs won't pay no matter what is done, your ex may be one of those.

The CSE is bound by the laws and quite often that can mean that it takes a long time to get things done.

Apparently the CSE has been taking steps if your ex has already been found in contempt 4 times and there is another contempt hearing pending.

Once Ohio has everything they need from FL, they can take action like suspending his DL.

If he's working for cash there's no way to do a garnishment of income. If he doesn't file tax returns, or owes the IRS then there's no refunds to intercept.

Apparently at some point he paid off some arrears, what was it that caused that to happen?

CSE is only responsible for one of those contempts, the rest I did by myself as a prose Petitioner. The hearing thats pending is a result of me taking him to court as well, my math is wrong, this will be his fourth contempt, the hearing in Sept.

The paying of the arrears happened because he did not always work for cash, this is the first time he has done this. The other times he worked for companies and the CSE would eventually catch up to him, send the income deduction order and money would trickle in, then he would quit his job.

I know CSE is trying, its just frustrating, and now they tell me they never got my paperwork, which I know is not true because they (Ohio) send me a welcome sort of letter and told me they were accepting my case and it had an application # on it. I don't know, seems like there should be a better system than this....
Thanks for your reply just the same, appreciate it.
