My ex-husband and I were married in Atlanta. Upon separation and eventual divorce, I re-located to Detroit, where my mother resides. I divorced him in Detroit. I contacted the Office of the Friend of the Court and successfully received my first payment earlier this year for unpaid child support after waiting over 18 years to locate my ex-husband.
Unfortunately, I only received one payment to date this year (February) in the amount of $150.00 for back pay.
Due to illness and unemployment, I re-located to my birthplace, Buffalo, NY 1 1/2 years ago with my daughter (my oldest is now grown and never received child support while living with me).
It was neccessary to contact Michigan's Attorney General for reinforcement of child support because I could not get through, after making several attempts via long distance phone calls, to communicate with the Friend of the Court located in Detroit.
I also submitted several letters to no avail. It is now April and I understand that my ex-husband's wages are being garnished for unpaid child support. WHERE IS THE MONEY? IT CERTAINLY IS NOT COMING TO THE NY STATE OFFICE OF CHILD SUPPORT—AND IT DEFINATELY IS NOT COMING TO OUR RESIDENCE!!!
The State Of Michigan should investigate these types of matters. How many single parents need to continue to complain before something is done?
I believe the theives who are holding certain positions at Detroit's Friend of the Court, who cause delay (or delete) support payments ordered by Michigan's judicial system should be investigated and consequently be removed from their positions for stealing money from those who are "entitled" to recieve child support!
Mayor kwami, i voted for you before i left, help us!!!
