I did. They didn't seem too concerned about it. All they told me to do was send my tax return in so the computer could start an investigation. They didn't even ask for his name. But they did tell me to make sure I file every year from now on so he won't get away with it again.

I:angel: recently found out that my daughter's father:dgrin has been claiming her as a dependent on his income taxes. She has never lived with him a day in her life! I am on disability and was told that I do not make enough to file, so I usually don't. However I did this year to get the...

When we moved back to FL in 2004, I applied for Medicaid for my daughter and was told that the state would pursue child support from her father. After the usual paperwork, DNA tests, we went to court where he was ordered to pay support and to provide medical insurance. It took him about 10...

So sorry to hear about your deadbeat dad. I'm so surprised that you can't get help from Child Support Enforcement or the Dept of Revenue. Have you tried going through the military? They should be able to garnish his wages. Best of luck to you!!

I never signed anything. I believe that my father just called Discover and added my name and ordered a card for me. After his death, when I began managing my mother's finances, I remember her speaking to someone at Discover to authorize me to make inquiries and payments for her. So, if my...

My parents added me as an authorized user to their credit card to shop for them because medical conditions made it hard for them to get around. My father passed away and this continued up until a few months ago. My mother is now in a nursing home and all of her Social Security and pension...

Sorry to hear about your son. I know my child's father did have his license revolked after no payment for only 30 days. When the DOR gets involved I guess they mean business. Sometimes FL is a little backward, but they seemed to have gotten this right.

Thanks! That sets my mind at ease.

Can you call the county to find out if there is a warrant for your arrest? How long ago was the first problem with the alcohol possession? Since you are going to school to ultimately find a better job, I would think you'd want to pay the fine rather than risk jail time and possible future...

I never thought about this until I read so many of the problems others are having in this forum. I am a single mother and was never married to my child's father. We had no contact from the time I was 4 and a half months pregnant (when he assaulted me and I kicked him out) until our daughter...

I live in FL also. If you go through your local Child Support Enforcement Office, they will help you. A hearing will be scheduled and the Dept. of Revenue attorney will represent you. This way he pays his support directly to the state and they will, in turn, pay you. If he is more than 30...

I receive both child support and Social Security for my child. That money is put into my checking account, out of which rent, utilities, car expenses, food, clothing, health insurance, toys, extra-curricular activities, and all of life's other expenses are paid. All of these expenses are for...

Hi. I'm not a lawyer and have no legal advice for you. I do know something about mental illness. After the birth of my child, I experienced a profound post-pardum depression. With proper treatment from a good psychiatrist and medication, this IS something that can be overcome. It is many...

My parents had a Discover Card account for many years. After retiring and moving near me, my father added me as an authorized user so that I could shop for him. He had lost a leg and it was hard for him to get around. My mother was also losing her eyesight, so this arrangement continued for...
