So right now I am about 6 weeks behind on it. Amounts to about $300.
In Indiana, if you are $2,000 or 3 months behind you can lose professional license.
I asked the worker at the counter last time how far before it would turn to a legal issues and she was like, "It varies by case, someone would have to file charges".
Well THAT helps.
So here is my case - My ex is not being rude about things, knows I have no income right now, and had moved out of state upon our divorce (Back to her home state) I still live in the state we divorced. She knows I am not falling behind intentionally like some NCP's do when they just refuse to pay.
So, when support falls behind, does the state or whoever automatically turn it over to the prosecutor or would the CP have to start complaining and file charges? She is not threatening such.
And with the professional license, I am looking for a job and have not actually received the license just yet. The lady at the child support place did not really say "whom" would have to file. Am I to assume it would have to be the custodial parent or could the prosecutor just do it? If the prosecutor COULD, would they even mess with my case or do they tend to go after worse cases like fleeting NCP's (Which I am not) or people who are several grand behind?
Just a bit concerned here.

If you are 6 weeks and $300 behind, it means you only pay $200/month. You can get this much just giving plasma.
In most states, you can be charged with contempt already, and it's computer generated. Being that it's out of state, it might take awhile.
But....at only $200/month....many pay 5-10 times that amount and stay caught up or nearly caught up when they lose their jobs. Unless you live in some podunk rural area with 1 Mcdonalds as the only employer, there's really no excuse for not paying $200. Expect that a judge would see it the same way.

I used to give it often....it was either that or no food for the kids. Remember, I'm a NCP that has the kids over 50% of the time....and NCP's can't get aid (as in food stamps) for their kids in most states, including mine.

Understood, that doesn't change that some people literally are unable to. I don't know what the numbers are, but I can't give my blood away, forget about selling it.

I was fortunate in one way.....I have a minor case of vitiligo (also called Michael Jackson disease), and I always got double for the plasma because of it.

That is interesting. BM cannot give plasma because she has something in her system...proteins or something that makes it not useable.

The "someone" who files could be the state. It could take awhile because she lives in a different state from the one the order came from. However if she's getting any kind of benefits from her state they will file charges as soon as they realize you're not paying.
The state will first go after NCP's in cases where the CP is receiving any kind of assistance. It doesn't matter if you're 500 or 5,000 behind.

When we were together, you said you'd die for me. Now, I think it's time you kept your promise.

In a recent fluke, the BM in my situation applied for government assistance and Child Support enforcement picked up the CS (BM was receiving directly from my hubby). After many attempts to correct and have CSE drop the case and allow BM and hubby to continue, they thought they had it corrected. Six months later, my hubby gets a bill for $10,000 for past due child support. He was given a court date and he and BM had to show up, together, to state that he was not behind, and formally request a judge to return their case to its original status with CSE not involved. They finally got it straightened out.
It depends on the speed of your state. You will get notices, have you received any? Have you attempted to contact CSE, explain you are not employed but you are seeking employemnt? Have you made arrangements with your ex personally? Is your ex willing to work with your while you are unemployed?
