The father of my son is over $24,000 in arrears and has not paid child support since January of this year. I have contacted my case worker, Nevada Department of Health and Human Services, Federal office of Department of Health and Human Service, and Project Save our Children.
My case worker, when she responds, offers no real assistance other than stating that I should get a lawyer if I want more done because he is in another state and handed it to them in June. Despite my inquiries as to what she has heard about my case from Virginia, she does not respond. The Chief of Child Support Enforcement Program for Federal DHHS has sent her numerous letters stating she has to let me know what the status of the other state is, but still no response. The NV DHSS has told me that my case worker told them that she is not sure if he is out of state so they are taking the stance that until she exhasts all remedies, they will not send may case to be federally prosecuted. Project Save of Children stated my case qualifies for federal prosecution but cannot do anything until my case worker does the paperwork to send it to him.
I cannot afford a lawyer since I am unemployed. And my attempts to hire a private company (National Child Support, who I do not recommend anyone go to) have been unsuccessful since they have passed my case from one worker to another for months.
I have exhausted all routes that I know of to get someone to do something with my case. What else can I do?
Please help~
