GrandParents Can Collect Unpaid Child Support

Friday, March 18th, 2011

Under certain circumstances a grandparent can open a child support collection case to establish and obtain unpaid court ordered child support.

If a grandparent has been appointed the legal guardian of his/her grandchild and the grandparent needs help enforcing & collecting unpaid  child support that was ordered by the courts, we can help the  grandparent collect & enforce unpaid  child support.

In many situations grandparent who is receiving government benefits such as TANF or Medicaid, may be asked to cooperate with the Attorney General’s office  to establish a child support order with the biological parents of the child.

If the grandparent can provide proof that the child has been living with and under the supervision of the grandparent, then the grandparent should contact a child support attorney immediately..

A separate child support case will be opened with each noncustodial parent (mother and father), even if one or both parents live in the same household.

What Information Is Needed To Collect Unpaid Child Support

Friday, March 18th, 2011

I just turned 18 last april and now i would like to try to get the back child support my father owes me that has never been paid.  What information do I need & how do I hire a child support enforcement lawyer?

The most important information an applicant can provide, aside from the noncustodial parent’s current address, is the name and address of the noncustodial parent’s current employer. If the current employer is not known, the name and address of the last known employer should be provided.

Additionally, the following information about the noncustodial parent should be made available:

  • social security number and date of birth;
  • names and addresses of relatives and friends;
  • names of banks or creditors such as utility companies;
  • names of organizations, unions or clubs to which the noncustodial parent belongs
  • and places where the noncustodial parent spends free time.

Nationwide Child Support Enforcement

Friday, March 18th, 2011

Nationwide child support enforcement benefits both the state and federal goverment.  Based on reasearch that attribute public assistance cost savings to the work of Nationwide child support enforcement lawyers like Steven Sinkin & Karen Marvel.  The benefits include reductions in the cost of cash assistance, food stamps and medicaid.  In addition it appears that receipt of child support income makes it possible for many families to avoid public assistance in the first place.

A nationwide child support collection lawyer continues to have a significant impact, not only on the state/federal budgets but on single parent family homes.  For example, in the state of Iowa,  a study found that the cost avoidance for families currently receiving public assistance was 86 cents for every dollar collected.  For families who formerly received cash assistance, the savings was 46 cents for every dollar collected.

It is estimated that if all custodial families had child support orders and those orders were enforced by a child support enforcement lawyer that cash assistance cost for those families would drop by 26 percent, food stamps would be reduced by 19 percent and medicaid would reduce by 5 percent.

Our attorneys routinely take cases to court with children in their 20s, 30s, 40s and even 50s and have received and collected judgments for unpaid support and interest as high as $620,000.
