What can you do when the non custodial parent files for or gets disability, and claims they cannot pay child support because of it? Are there laws to protect your children? Are there laws that still hold the non custodial parent financially responsible for your children? YES there are!!! Laws and legislation's have been put into place to help provide for children who's non custodial parent receives disability. While it does have certain conditions that apply, such as the non custodial parent needs to have enc-rued enough work history for the children to receive a regular ssi payment from them. If the non custodial parent has not done so, be sure to bring that up in child support court, that the non custodial parent is NOT recently disabled, but has shown a history of non working.However, THIS PAGE tells the basic legalities of this law. It also has helpful links to direct you in a place you need to go to enforce these laws.
What can a custodial parent do when a non custodial parent is denied disability, and continues to not work and continues to apply for disability instead of work? As we all know, the disability program is abused greatly. I have been sending a great deal of time trying to find the actual percentage of non custodial parents who have filed for disability, only after being given a support order. Often times, a non custodial parent will continue to apply for SSI, to get out of having to work and pay child support. These non custodial parents often times get state services to pay for their needs while they continue to apply, and fail to financially support their children. As long as a non custodial parent continues to apply, and receives state services, they are not made to work, and often times only have to pay the state minimum of $25 a month in child support, despite having the ability to work, and despite the number of children they have left behind. Gaining this information has proven difficult, but rest assured, I have devoted myself to finding it. It is my belief that the disability program is abused many times by people trying to get out of paying child support. This robs the general public, it also hurts people who are truly disabled as it creates a larger case load for already over worked Dr's and case workers in the disability program.
when though that with my ex its hard.
