What do you do when you are trying to obtain child support from a co-parent who claims to have no income?

I'm having a difficult time do so. The other parent does have a source of income and does work.What do you do when you are trying to obtain child support from a co-parent who claims to have no income?
Take it to court so it is documented and court ordered. This will ensure the parent will have to pay eventually and will ensure that any money he or she gets will go to you or your child, like tax refunds or lottery winnings. Just don't give up. My mom is now getting child support that was owed to her when we were young. We're now in our 30's and she uses the money as she wishes so by no means give up.What do you do when you are trying to obtain child support from a co-parent who claims to have no income?
Each parent has an obligation to contribute to the support of their child. Some states will impute income to a person they feel y is voluntarily under employed, unemployed or not at their earning capacity. Most judges have seen every trick in the book and are wise to the person who says they have “no income”. Hire an attorney.
He may work, but you need to have proof that after he pays his rent and other bills he has enough left over to pay child support. He may be living paycheck to paycheck, in which case you can't squeeze blood from a stone. I don't think a judge is going to make your ex pay child support if the result is he winds up homeless.
Luckily you'll likely be awarded child support based on what he'd likely earn while working, which is scheduled by age.





I'm sure the judge would love to hear about how you know that he's working, then you'll definitely get it.
Do you already have a judgment for child support? If not hire a lawyer and get one. If so, hire a lawyer to file a motion to hold the obligor in contempt.
who ever is issuing the support order will probably impute wages for the non working parent
Prove that he does have a source of income. If he has an employer, get a statement from the employer.
Tabitha.... Have his license revoked for non child support! or put a lien on everything he has or owns. Good Luck Steve
get proof they work then
