I have heard of things like this, but sending so much money is a bit strange. How was the money sent. is there a way to track any part of the delivery or cashing of the checks. Are there any money orders stubs, or checks that the bank has on micro. My bank photos all check transactions and keeps for years. It would seem that you would not need many months to get the total amount covered, even if you don't get the full credit.
The child is almost old enough to choose not to live with mom. A year or so wait might be worth the wait since she does know where you are, and how to contact you. An advertisment with her picture, a We Love You, and a call us collect with no other message might get the phone number to her in a very large way. Her classmates would even see that she got the message from recognising the picture.
The legal work and travel would be very high to fight in court with the result arriving on her 18th birthday, and of little use at that point.
Your main issue is the garnishment. He can be jailed for such a large amount. They can also take his passport if it is a US passport. The court order should never have money paid directly to the mom unless they warn you to keep the cancelled checks or tell you to use a seperate checking account and track the checks to the ex. Did the court order her to update the payments to the Support Enforcement folks as she recieved them? If you can prove payments then you have her for contempt of court, which could help if the court wants to help you out (not likely).
The longstanding issue of, does the child get the money only seems to be an issue for non custodial parents. As long and the mother has gotten a check for a lot of money for years, and now can get it all again by not telling the truth, she seems to welcome your money with open arms. There is no penalty in the family court systems for mothers until they get so bad that the judge gets very angry at her, and that is rare. All the penalties are for the fathers.
Politicians ignore the fact that there is no way to account for any money getting to the children, the amount he pays, or the amount the custodial parent is to pay. After all, they get the payment amount based on combined gross income, and both parents are ordered to pay a share. The custodial parent's share is never tracked, but the non's is enforced with jail time and garnishes.
I was told that as long as half of the people in a divorce are mothers, politicians are not going to commit political suicide by discussing the problems in this system.
Good luck. God Bless.
