    Default Felony Nonsupport Charges in Michigan

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Michigan, despite being on state assistance FOC has taken little action in my CS case. My ex ran away to CA, and avoided legal service for a few months from FOC and myself. I ultimately filed a motion for alternative service via first class mail for my divorce, so FOC dropped their case and I filled out the child support portion alone. Fast forward 18 months later, he is $10,000 and I filed for a felony warrant with the AG office. The attorney general asked a few questions, and requested a few screen shots of my conversations with my ex where he clearly state knowledge of our case, as well as several taunts and threats.

    1) the last thing I heard from the lawyers was that he may be able to claim no knowledge of the case since he never officially signed anything. (His family knows/lived with me briefly, I have messages from IG, FB, texts and twitter)
    Can this really happen?

    2) the state is still investigating, I've read the laws I can and it says they'll look into his "ability to pay"... he is doing everything to hide any assets, no license, no property, works under the table or quits to quickly for his wages to be garnished. Does this mean the state won't be interested in extradition because he's "broke"

    (He has 2 Unrelated misdemeanor warrants in MI as well and absconded probation in two counties)

    Any info or experience would be great, I know the courts work at their own pace but I am struggling, I just want to know what's going to happen, if I can ever expect help.

    In all reality, I think that you need to be prepared to never get any financial help from him. He is clearly either never going to make any real money or is going to end up in prison.

    Is it possible that your ex- will deny knowledge of the order? If that's what he chooses to claim then, yes, it's possible. Absent his admission to having knowledge, we are not in a position to comment on whether it can be proved that he has knowledge.

    If the state files criminal charges, those charges are not dependent upon how much money he has (or claims to have). Many criminals are extradited, few have money at the time. Budget factors can play into decisions as to whether or not to extradite a defendant from another state, but that's because it's normally more important to extradite violent criminals than it is to extradite non-violent criminals, and budgets are not unlimited.
