ARIZONA CHILD SUPPORT & SUPREME COURT ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC SECURITY - CHILD SUPPORT - SUPREME COURT GUILY UNTIL PROVEN, mistreated and ripped off TUCSON Arizona

THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC SECURITY AND SUPREME COURT ARE A BUNCH OF IDIOTS. THEY FAIL TO DO RESEARCH AND TAKE ACTION, EVEN WITH DOCUMENTS HANDED TO THEM.

I WAS DIVORCED IN 1997, MY EX WIFE GOT CUSTODY AND I WAS ORDERED TO PAY CHILD SUPPORT. THE USUAL THING NO PROBLEM, YEAH RIGHT!

SHORTLY AFTER THE DIVORCE I CAME DOWN WITH A SEVERE NEUROLOGICAL DISORDER. I WENT FROM BAD TO WORSE, THEN TO HECK. I CONTINUED TO WORK BUT CHANGED JOBS SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO MY HEALTH. IN FACT I WAS EVEN TERMINATED FROM TWO JOBS DUE TO MY CONDITION. AND YES THERE WERE INTERRUPTIONS IN CHILD SUPPORT PAYMENTS. IT IS HARD TO PAY WHEN YOU HAVE NOTHING TO PAY WITH.

IN MID 1999 MY HEALTH DETERIORATED TO THE POINT I COULD NO LONGER WORK. I FILED FOR SSD AND INCLUDED MY DAUGHTER IN THE INITIAL APPLICATION. I WAS FOUND DISABLED AND STARTED RECEIVING DISABILITY IN MARCH OF 2000. MY DAUGHTER ALSO STARTED RECEIVING DISABILITY AT THIS TIME. OR MAYBE I SHOULD SAY THAT HER MOTHER STARTED RECEIVING THIS.

I CALLED TUCSON CHILD SUPPORT AS SOON AS I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE DETERMINATION. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD CHECK IN TO IT. AND THEY TOLD ME NOTHING ELSE. I RECEIVED TWO THREATENING LETTERS FROM THEM ABOUT MY NOT PAYING CHILD SUPPORT, AFTER THAT CALL. THE LAST ONE WAS IN JUNE OF 2000. I CALLED ON BOTH OF THOSE OCCASIONS EXPLAINING THE FACTS. BOTH TIMES I WAS TOLD "WE WILL CHECK IN TO IT" .

I NEVER HEARD ANOTHER WORD FROM THE TUCSON CHILD SUPPORT OFFICE, AFTER THAT. I WOULD STILL GET THE MONTHLY CHILD SUPPORT DUE NOTICE EACH MONTH. I HOWEVER ASSUMED THAT THIS WAS JUST NORMAL PROCEDURE.

THE YEARS PASSED WITHOUT A WORD FROM ANYONE ABOUT THIS MATTER. THEN AROUND OCTOBER OF 2002 I RECEIVED A DEMAND FOR PAYMENT AND A THREAT TO TAKE ACTION NOTICE. THIS WAS FROM CHILD SUPPORT IN PRESCOTT ARIZONA. IT WOULD SEEM MY EX MOVED THERE. SHE WENT TO CHILD SUPPORT CLAIMING THAT I WAS NOT PAYING HER ANYTHING. I CALLED THEM THAT SAME DAY. THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THE DISABILITY MONEY SHE WAS RECEIVING. GEEZ I WONDER WHY??? AFTER MANY PHONE CALLS AND NUMEROUS LETTERS AND FORMS AT MY COST, I NEVER HEARD FROM THEM AGAIN. IN FACT THE CHILD SUPPORT DUE STATEMENTS STOP COMING TO ME IN DECEMBER 2002. ONCE AGAIN I ASSUMED ALL WAS IN ORDER, HA DREAM ON!

IN APRIL OF 2003 I RECEIVED A NSF LETTER FROM MY BANK. AFTER VIEWING MY ACCOUNT I FOUND THAT THE AMOUNT OF CHILD SUPPORT HAD BEEN DEDUCTED FROM MY DISABILITY CHECK, CAUSING CHECKS TO BOUNCE. NO ONE EVEN BOTHERED TO INFORM ME OF THIS. AM I SURPRISED? NOT REALLY!

I CALLED THE CHILD SUPPORT OFFICE IN PRESCOTT AND ASKED FOR THE WOMAN I DEALT WITH LAST YEAR. I WAS TOLD THAT SHE WAS NO LONGER THERE AND I WOULD BE TRANSFERED TO THE NEW PERSON. AS IT WOULD BE I GOT HER VOICE MAIL. I LEFT MY NAME, NUMBER AND CASE NUMBER. SHE HAS NEVER RETURNED MY CALL TO THIS DATE. NOT WANTING TO WAIT I CALLED TUCSON CHILD SUPPORT TO SEE IF THEY COULD HELP ME. BOY FOR A CHANGE THEY DID. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PRESCOTT CHILD SUPPORT HAD CLOSED MY CASE JANUARY 23, 2003. "WELL GREAT" I'M SO GLAD PRESCOTT LET ME KNOW!

AFTER MORE RESEARCH I FOUND THAT SUPERIOR COURT OF TUCSON HAD ORDERED THE MONEY TAKEN FROM MY DISABILITY. I HAVE SINCE FILED A DESIST PETITION FOR THE CHILD SUPPORT. AND I AM WAITING FOR WORD ON THAT.

WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE? WITH ALL THE MONEY MY EX HAS RECEIVED, SHE WOULD BE PAID UP FOR CHILD SUPPORT TO 2005. WITH EACH NEW MONTH, ADDING TO THAT TIME FRAME. THIS ALSO INCLUDES ANY ARREARS THAT I MIGHT HAVE OWED. THE DISABILITY SHE IS RECEIVING IS TWICE THE AMOUNT OF CHILD SUPPORT. NOW WITH THE DEDUCTION FROM MY DISABILITY IT IS THREE TIMES THE ORIGINAL AMOUNT.

I CAN BARELY SURVIVE ON WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO GET, NOW FORGET IT! WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO MY RIGHTS? IT WOULD SEEM I AM GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE. I THOUGHT THAT A PERSON HAD THE RIGHT TO DEFEND HIMSELF. INSTEAD EVERYTHING HAS BEEN DONE WITHOUT MY KNOWLEGE. AND EVERYONE HAS MY ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT THE COURT PETITION WORKS OUT. BUT I HAVE MY DOUBTS. IF THE PAST IS ANY INDICATION, I'VE LOST!
HOW CAN MY EX GET AWAY WITH OMITTING THE DISABILITY PAYMENT TO CHILD SUPPORT? THEN GOING TO THE COURTS AND DOING THE SAME THING. NO ONE HAS DONE ANY RESEARCH AT ALL IN THIS MATTER. IF THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO GO THROUGH THE COURTS, WHY HAVE I BEEN DEALING WTH CHILD SUPPORT AT ALL? I BELIEVE THAT I HAVE DONE MORE THAN MY FAIR SHARE TO RESOLVE THIS THING. LEAVE ME ALONE ALLREADY! CANT I BE SICK WITHOUT THIS ADDITIONAL PROBLEM. SO ON THAT NOTE I HAVE NOTHING GOOD TO SAY ABOUT THIS SO CALLED SYSTEM CHILD SUPPORT/COURT!
