Where do i go to find my child support?
supposedly my father has been sending the checks for over 13 years, the thing is we only recieved two of them throughout the whole time. we moved quite a bit so it might have been sent to the wrong address. im 19 now, and my mother is deceased so she cant help me with this problem. where do i go to find out if it actually was sent?
Answers:
If it was court ordered child support, check with the Attorney Generals office in your state. You need to also check with your daddy and see if any were returned. If he was sending them to wrong addresses, he would have got them back in the mail, maybe not every single one, but most of them. If nothing else, ask your dad to show proof by receipts, like money order stubs or personal check statements. Even if you moved around a lot, changed the address through the post office every time, you should have gotten them. Also, did your Dad know every time you moved, and was he gave the new address. Being 19 now, I can only wish you good luck.
YOU CAN CONTACT THE COURT HOUSE IN WHICH THE CHILD SUPPORT WAS GRANTED, YOU COULD ASK YOUR FATHER FOR COPIES OF CANCELED CHECKS OR STUBS FROM MONEY ORDERS AND LAST BUT NOT LEST, CONTACT YOUR LOCAL SRS OFFICE AND LET THEM DO THE LEG WORK FOR YOU. GOOD LUCK
Unfortunately it doesn't matter now if your father paid anything. Child support is ordered for, and paid to, the custodial parent, not the child. Since your mother is deceased, there is no one that has legal claim to that child support. My answer is based on the assumption that you want your father to pay his back child support if he has not been. Even if it's just to know whether he paid I'm not sure if you can ever find out. My husband receives child support and DCSE wouldn't even talk to me until they had written permission from him to do so. In order to have access to the account you would have to have written permission from your father or your mother.
