Hope You Can Help!
Let me back up a little bit. 1993, petitioner left with child while respondent was at work. Took everything and left. Never told respondent where she or child was. Respondent tried to locate but couldn't. Never heard anything from petitioner again until July 2007. Citation left on steps of house. Petitioner applied for TANF in Arizona in February 2006. IV-D case in California where respondent lives now with his partner of 12 years and their 9-year old daughter. There has never been any court-ordered support ever established before. The child in question will be 18 in January 2008. Petitioner abandoned respondent and kept child away from him. Isn't there some law against doing that and then decide 13 years later to get support?
Child Support and Income Taxes
My fiance' and his ex-wife have it stated in their divorce agreement that child support would not be collected from either party and that support was mutual. He lives in Louisiana and she lives in Pennsylvania. A little over a year ago, she applied for and began receiving welfare benefits, and now the state of Pennsylvania has seized my fiance's income taxes as payment of child support. Are they allowed to do this even though a judgement was made against child support?
