The Maryland Child Support Enforcement does not take enough action against deadbeat dads. First, it took me 2 and a half years to get a child support order for my children when I was told it would take a maximum of 6 months (partly my deadbeat lawyers fault). It has been 3 years since then and I still don't get child support regularly, sometimes waiting as long as 7 months to get a payment of one months worth. My son is 17 now and I have never recieved a single payment from his father, whom I divorced 16 years ago.

My daughter is 9 and I get sporadic payments from her father. MDHR gives him 90 days to make a payment and if he doesn't, they send him a letter telling him they haven't received payment. then they wait 30 days for him to respond. When he doesn't, they send another letter, if you ask them to. When he doesn't respond, they send a notice to summon him to court (another 30 days or more for a court date). He goes to court and pays one month worth, just to start the process all over again.

I can't afford to feed my children and put a roof over their heads, let alone hire another deadbeat lawyer. I have gone to social services, for assistance but the amount I am supposed to receive in child support exceeds the amount required to receive help, so they do nothing except offer food stamps. They cannot garnish his wages because he is self employed. He got to keep the marital home, which was paid off in full within 3 years of purchasing it (thanks to my deadbeat lawyer), simply because I could not afford to keep paying the lawyer.

I had to walk out with nothing of the 4 video stores, car dealership and sign company that we owned, with the only blessing being that I had primary custody of the children. We are now broke and struggling while he still has the house and businesses and the state does very little to collect the child support on our behalf. What can I do if the state does not help?

Maryland Child Support Enforcement Will Not Help With Out Of State Collections Either!!!

AUTHOR: Refleming1 - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, January 26, 2009

I have been dealing with these people since 1996. I have a son, now 16 years old, and have gotten a total of less than $700 in child support. CSE now claims that my son's father is now on disability, however, Social Security has no record of him being on disability. Child Support Enforcement has consistently given me every BS line you can imagine on why they could never collect this money, which is now in arrears over $50,000. They apparently think that since I am not in-state, so I cannnot cause too much trouble, and I am not on their welfare system, so I am not costing them any money either. I have even tried calling the Governor's Office, the state's attorney's office, and many other public officials, with nothing to show for it except phone bills. I want to know why my son is being swept under the rug, while I struggle every day to provide him with what he needs. This man has never spent a day in jail for back child support, has never lost any driving privileges, and has never been punished in any way for being a deadbeat. I think that the state of Maryland is the true deadbeat, and should be accountable to me and my son. They refused to try to collect child support long before he supposedly went on "disability", and now says the case is closed because he is disabled. The state is harboring a criminal, and should be held accountable!!
