    Default How Do Child Support Warrants Work

    My question involves child support in the State of: New York.

    What does having a child support warrant mean?

    I go on the NYS website and look up a name and this person has two. What can happen to this person?

    How can a CP get payment if the NCP job hops?

    Why does the NCP get numerous chances when they don't show up for court?

    What options does a CP have when they desperately need to make ends meet?

    Realistically, the CP should never be relying on child support to survive. All too often, the NCP simply won't pay and there's only so much the state can do about it. If the NCP truly doesn't want to pay, s/he will even tank their own credit.

    Welcome to the frustrating world of child support. The CP is advised to do whatever s/he can do - getting two jobs, downsizing, whatever it takes.

    Even if they arrest him, he won't be in jail for long because the space is needed for violent crimes. I have seen people tell s Judge that they will go to jail because they aren't paying child support. Although I never understood that. If the parent gets s job and the wages are garnished you may get something from that. If arrears are owed and proper paperwork filled if the parent is due IRS Refund the parent may get that. But it is always best to never count on the child support or factor it in when looking at expenses. And even if you get it for a few months if the parent is working that doesn't mean it will continue.

    The ncp is fully able to work but refuses. The arrears are at 10k right now. He has other children that he has also abandoned but the mothers have not filed for child support.
    I tried serving him the court papers but he runs. I contacted him many times and tell him the time and date of court but he still refuses to show. His license has been suspended. His bank accounts frozen (in which i got 17 dollars from) and he stop filing tax returns.

    Do i just do nothing? Or do i keep showing to court knowing he won't show?

    I think we've already answered that.

    You can keep going to court, and he'll keep running.

    You can't physically force him to pay if he continues to do what he's doing.

    Also, I'm not sure how you know that he's stopped filing tax returns. He can structure his deductions so he owes at the end of the year, rendering a support levy useless.

    While that is absolutely true, you wouldn't believe the number of people I have coming in here that need to do tax returns for up to 10 years, all at the same time, because they stopped filing over owing child support. Or, how many of them have lost refunds because the return in question was being filed more than three years late.

    Generally they finally file when the IRS catches up to them, or the judge threatens to jail them for not filing, or they have some other reason why they have to produce tax returns that is compelling enough that they finally file. I would say at least once or twice a week, all year long I have someone in here filing for that reason.

    I cannot imagine the amount of times you must have to roll your eyes or - worse - have to hide The Rolling Of The Eyes!

    Me: Why did you wait so long to file your returns?

    Him: Because I knew that my ex was going to get my refund and I wasn't giving her any money.

    Me: What made you decide to file them now?

    Him: Because the judge said that if I didn't file all my returns and start paying my child support I was going to jail.

    Me: Do you realize that for the earliest 7 returns you have forfeited your refunds?

    Him: No, are you kidding, OMG I cannot believe I messed up so badly. How much did I lose?

    Me: $17,000. That would have paid a lot of child support, wouldn't it?

    Him: I can't believe I did that to myself...shaking his head and looking sheepish.

    Would it be impolite of me to snort and giggle?



    Sorry, OP - we're really not downplaying your rotten ex. It just happens SO often - the lengths someone will go to in order to avoid paying child support are just so out there at times!
