Child Support Enforcement Division is already handling the child support case file, in a situation like Michelle, why should Michelle file a contempt of court for the father to pay the unpaid medical bills, when there is a court order for the father to pay. Isn't the Child Support Enforcement Division in contempt of court for non-compliance to enforce the court order stipulated by the Child Support Referee? This is Child Neglect and Abuse that past dues unpaid medical bills is trying to defraud a minor. What should Michelle and other custodial parents do to get Child Support Enforcement to provide those services, rather than to hire a lawyer? Isn't this also the responsibility of OCSE? Thanks for your feedback! Der IV-D Child Support Agencies:

Child Support Office were sent 3 Medical Billings to give to the non-custodial parent to pay his share. Child Support gave bills to NP. Medical Centers have sent out "PAST DUE" NOTICES under the Minor Child's Name. This means that the non-custodial has not paid the bills to Defraud the Child. Is this Child Neglect and Abuse? On whose part, non-custodial parent or the Child Support Office? What action can be taken here? Can we report this to Child Protective Services? Thanks for providing some answers here!

Be sure to follow up with the state to make sure they are diligently trying to locate him to get him legally served.

Los Angeles is known to have a "poor" child support enforcement system so it would be best to call NV to make sure that the paperwork has actually been sent there from CA, and to make sure NV is acting on it promptly, Call the state child support office in NV and ask for the "Central Registry" this department logs in the incoming cases form other states and sends them to local NV office for enforcement action.

I opened up a Los Angeles county child support case and he makes payments on his own since he is self employed. But he is now 4 months behind so I try opened up a interstate case so they can start enforcing the case in NV, but I opened the case 4 months ago. Why is it taking so long to transtion over from a DIV 5 case to a interstate case? My x is self employed and pays when he feels like it even though we have a court order. he is now 1300 dollars in arrears. help! October 27th, 2009 at 12:17 pm

I doubt you need to pay if she is 19 and no longer lives at home, unless there is some provision for you to continue support through college. But even then, the custodial parent is usually required to be paying towards college and/or room and board, if the child is not living at home. Even in states where support is due until age 21, emancipation of the child (living on their own)is grounds to terminate a support obligation. You will need to notify the court about the situation, that she is 19 and not living at home and not attending school......so that a release can be sent to the government child support agency. Most courts have a form you can file yourself for emancipation of the child. It depends on what your court order says.
