Kat - you need to read up on the Uniform Interstaet Family Support Act.
FF&C is part of it but was expanded upon. It was created in 1994 and adopted by WV in 1997 as in most other states. I agree FL is a deadbeat haven....surprised mine hasn't ran off to FL yet....I'm only saying they don't cooperate and are not punised for it.
I own a small telecom/data contracting business. I am a 50 yr old male with one grown married child. I'm a military veteran and have never had any dealings with any social service department in the State of WV. I'm afraid you may have made a rash judgment of me.
It's ok.... with these anonymous postings, we can be anyone we want... no vetting process here. LOL
Kittykat - your reference to 'full faith and credit' is actually called Uniform Interstate Family Support Act. I'm sure Taxpayer is aware of the federal regulations governing interstate cases but what I think what they meant is that Florida refuses to cooperate with other states and is of very little assistance yet they suffer no repercussions for their lack of assistance. I know this to be true from experience.

As everyone who has renewed a drivers license in WV knows, there is a box to check on the renewal form if you have a child support obligation. Now, who in their right mind is going to check "yes"? I asked the DMV clerk if there was a network set up between them and the Child Support office. I was told that they do not have any way to track such things. BINGO !!! The man or woman who has a huge arrearage is granted a renewed license. And how do the boards that grant and renew professional licenses know to revoke those as well?
After release he made one payment, and daughter went back to authorities. She was told that she would have to locate him and file papers within that (his residence)county as they didn't want to be involved again.
Since I have provided upkeep for eleven years, I have asked daughter to remove his parental rights. She will not since the cost is $1500 and atty must be engaged. The kid isA+
FYI: I make enough to support my child very well. His father was wonderful when we were first together. AFter my son was born, he started doing drugs and I didn't want to raise my son around him and the people he was involved with. He was given many chances to give up the drugs, but he didn't. He hasn't seen my son since he was two years old. But, I always find his a$$ and he'll help pay for my son. He can try to run, but he can't hide.
To those of you slamming us single mothers.. I work 40 hours a week at a good paying job. I make enough money to support my daughter and me. I dont need my ex's money, but he helped bring my daughter into this world and therefore that makes him responsible for her welfare as well.
Theydontcareaboutus-- ever heard the phrase "it takes two to tango?" a woman cant bring a child into this world alone and no child should have to go without simply because her parents messed up.
to lige4abe and ItsJustMe - the father is responsible for the money owed however when you file for Child Support Services, it's the same as hiring an attorney - they are required to take actions in a certain period of time. If you hired an attorney who didn't do their job in a timely fashion and it was at your expense wouldn't you sue the attorney and hold them liable? It's the same difference.
