Child Support Fraud

[ourstreet]

My husband was served with an order for child support for his son in Sept 2005. Order filled by maternal grandmother whom the child was living with. Grandmother had court appointed guardianship. In Aug 2005 child was sent to juvinile hall for GTA charge and grandmother refused to come and claim him. She let maternal grandfather take the child instead. She gave written guardianship to grandfather but did not have court appointed guardianship changed. She did not inform child support recovery that child was not living with her. So, an order of child support was ordered for a child she did not support. Monies have been collected for the support through requested garnishment. None went to child or grandather who child lived with. To add insult to injury child now lives with us since Jul 2006. We have tried to contact all agencies involved but to no avail. We do not have custody or guardianship and cannot afford an attourney. We have 2 other young children in the home as well. The child in question upon comming to live with us obtained a state issued ID, ss card, copy of birth certificate, we enrolled him in school and have record of regular daily attendance. He is also employed and has been for the last year here. Grandmother will not speak to or cooperate with us because she does not want to give up money. Is this fraud? She cannot produce school, or anyother documents to support her request, she can't even produce a child. But the burden is on us for this child to be released by her or the state she lives in . We are in California, grandmother and case filled in Nevada. Any and all help is appreciated

Your husband should see an attorney ASAP to file for a modification of custody and CS. Until he does that, the problems will continue.
