Miss H, I think you are in better shape than you think. The Judge ordered your support payments come from State collections, which means you will get your money and he must repay the State. If he doesn't, he goes to jail. As far as his salary being cut in half, secure his W-2's from last year. What kind of work does he do? Unless he owns his own business or works on commission, it will be very hard to convince a Judge his wages are cut in half. Secure an asset report from him, get titles to cars, property, etc. Also get banking records, stock holdings, all of those are considered assets and are liable for collections. Don't be fooled by the Judge, they are very wise to all the tricks to child support evasion and are not very tolerant of those practices. Its a little bit of leg work on your part, but it can pay off. One final tip, counter claim for an INCREASE in child support!! All they can do is say no and if you win, you will not hear from him again!!!
