My children's father owes me about $50000 in back child support payments. He just won a social security disability case and will get a lump sum. I was told that no one can make him pay child support with his lump sum. Can anyone tell me how I can make him pay?

My childrens father committed social security fraud by allowing his second wife to collect my children court ordered child support payment since 1996 he never payed anything to his children. His wife was in on it. He moved out of state in order to avoid paying he was recently found and had a court hearing in which he brought papers in from the SSI as proof he was making payment to my children the only thing I never recieved anything, they recieved it. Will I be albe to recieve a lump sum amount of what was owed to my children.

My husband has just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He is going on disability until his treatment is done.Then he'll see if he can go back to work. He pays back child support. All the kids are over 18 and out of school. We have no insurance and we are wondering how much of this disability will go to child support payments? This is all the money we have to make our bills with. Can you please help us find out? gjmesmith AT yahoo.com

There is a mix up in what kind of payments being received by the other parent. If he/she is collecting SSI disability then child support will not enforce payments to the other parent, not saying that is is not still owed.
Now if the parents had worked, and had started collecting social security for whatever reason then yes, the child(ren) would be granted a portion monthly.

You all say that he kids are entitled to that money. Well, the kids never get it. Most of the time it goes to the ex and she has but the kids go with out. I know it one case the child still comes to the parent that pays child support for the things she really needs when the mother is receiving benefits for that child thru SS Disabilty. I think this is wrong and that they should be some kind of accountability for parents who receive Child Support. We set up here and act like it is about taking care of the kids and it is not. It is about taking care of the other parents.
I receive Child Support and if I spend it on getting my hair done there is nothing anyone can do even if my child needs a new pair of shoes. I see in it in so many cases. Child Support should really be about the kids and someone should be making the parents who don't use it for that pay that child back. It shouldn't be used to buy your stepdad new shoes before you get them, but it is whether anyone wants to believe it or not.

The childsupport bureau,the court system in your area needs to be made aware of his lump sum,and the SS office needs to be made aware that he is behind in child support. ASAP. Your kids are intitled to their portion. I went thru a similar situation and my children's portion was taken out before my ex ever recieved his. Unbeknowst to him also.(not a happy camper was he but ole well) Good luck with this and hang in their and be persistent.You might also try Legal Aid in your area for help.

I would check with the attorney general in your state.Many states will attach the bread winners pay.Or maybe you could check with a legal service.Most states have such a service for folks who can not pay an attorney.

It is my understanding that when a parent collects disability, each of that persons children is also eligible to collect SS disabilty payments too. You may already know this. But im not sure about the catching up part. Good luck.
Editor's Note: It might be worth calling the SS office to check but his children should be getting their own benefit as well as possible back pay and if you are their guardian, you will be the trustee.
