My ex has never been big on making child support payments and he's been jailed several times over nonpayment. Now he's gotten into a trend where he makes a partial payment, skips a few payments and then makes another partial payment. He refuses to file for income tax because he doesn't want me to get his taxes (yeah, he really told me that). He doesn't get visitation and has always said that he isn't required to pay child support if he doesn't get to see the kids (there's an order of protection in place requiring him to stay away from the children and myself). My question is can he just pay partial payments? Is he allowed to forgo Child Support because he can't have visitation? I know I am ignorant of the system but this is the first time he's actually paid child support so I don't know how it works. He's already 12 years behind before he started paying and he's on parole (I know, I know, I was a kid, that's my only excuse). What should I do?

He's only required to pay $116 per week. He's made one $100 payment, four $75 payments, and one $50 payment in the last 5 months. He's a subcontractor building houses and he's first rate. I know he has the money to pay, I really don't want to have to face him in court.

He doesn't get out of paying CS because he doesn't get any parenting time.
He is probably hoping that these partial payments will keep the court off his case and keep him out of jail for nonpayment. Talk to the court about what they, and you, can do.

If he isn't working under the table, self employed or working for his family, you should be able to get his wages garnished. Of course, he could always quit and go to another job once it is taken out of his wages. And repeat when the state catches up to the ne job.

Contact CSE. In my state someone making partial payments stays under the radar until they are a certain amount behind. Sometimes it takes the CP to bring it to their attention.

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