An estimated $10 billion in child support payments going uncollected

Money

Many parents don't get child support they're owed

Only half of parents get the child support they are owed 01:34

R. Kelly's failure to pay $161,000 in child support highlights a $10 billion problem across the U.S.
More than 30 percent of child support payments aren't made, and less than half are paid in full
Only about half of couples who have children and then separate even have a custodial order governing who'll pay for the kids

R&B singer R. Kelly stopped making child support payments almost a year ago after his former wife came forward with allegations of abuse. He proceeded to rack up a $161,000 support bill that was paid only after spending a weekend in jail.

But Kelly isn't alone. A U.S. Census report estimates that just 43.5 percent of custodial parents get the full amount of support they're entitled to. And more than 30 percent don't receive anything at all.

"It's not easy to get the money," said Highland, Illinois, attorney Nancy Chausow Shafer, whose firm specializes in matrimonial law. "Many people don't want to pay and find a lot of ways to get around it. "

Those Census figures come from data going back to 2015. But there's no reason to believe anything has changed. In 2017, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) said $33 billion in child support was paid for more than 15 million children, or one in five. So at least $10 billion in child support is probably going uncollected, and more when the "partial payments" are taken into account.

R. Kelly released from Chicago jail 11:09

There's a bigger problem: Only about half of couples who have children and then separate even have a custodial order governing who'll pay for the kids, according to the National Parents Organization. As for the other half, these children may have no rights at all under state divorce laws.

The missing payments exact a toll. According to the Census report, the poverty rate for custodial-mother families was more than 29 percent versus 17 percent for custodial-father families.

But having a judge issue an order of child support is no guarantee of payment, as both the R. Kelly case and these statistics show. "People don't just say, 'You caught me.' Instead, they offer a defense," said Shafer. Among the common excuses are:

Job loss. In such instances, child support payments continue to accrue, amounting to thousands more. Shafer said if you legitimately can't pay, go to court and ask for a reduction.

Cash payments. If you make them, get a receipt. If you can't pay by check, a carbon copy from the money order will show you paid. Payments can also be made through a state office that handles these types of transactions.

No visitation. Lawyers say this simply isn't an excuse. "Child support is a totally separate issue from visitation or parental hostility," said author and attorney Linda Smith, a women's rights advocate.

A battle of attrition

Of course, people find other ways to avoid payment. One is to simply disappear. But moving to another state probably won't stop a private detective or state investigator from tracking you down. Another is to reside in a major city where so many deadbeat parents face charges that your case remains in limbo. Some even avoid payments by filing for disability, experts say.

R. Kelly, jailed over child support, says "people have been stealin' my money" 06:25

Others try to wear the custodial parent down with the time and cost incurred by going to court, serving papers, calling the police and paying attorney fees. Legal fees have become so costly that many litigants on either side of the battle avoid them. Occasionally, lawyers themselves wind up demanding money a client doesn't have.

"As an attorney, I tell clients that sometimes the cost outweighs the benefit," said Shafer. This can be a problem for both sides, including parents who may have lost a job or are fighting battles such as deportation and can't afford any additional expenses.

Help is available

State and federal resources are -- at least theoretically -- available to help. The OCSE partners with local governments to ensure that children living in separate households receive monetary support for their care.

The Title IV-D program, under the Social Security Administration, requires every state to set up an enforcement plan to ensure child support is paid. States often do a good job of garnishing paychecks when it isn't, and three-quarters of child support is collected via withholding money from a parent's paycheck.

But sooner or later many custodial parents decide they can't fight any longer -- particularly when it continues for the up to 18 years during that children are still minors. For some parents, the battles are so damaging to their children that the money just doesn't make up for it.

How to find out the debt on alimony by last name

Published: 03/22/2019

- How to check child support debt online

Alimony debt is formed in case of late/incomplete/lack of payment of alimony. Not always the debtor deliberately evades payment. In some cases, the reasons may be:

⦁ lack of information from the payer about the location of the recipient, or its change;

⦁ errors in the payer's employer's accounting department;

⦁ unforeseen situations and other reasons.

In order to avoid unpleasant situations, especially before traveling abroad, it is better to check the child support debt.

You can find out the debt on alimony in two ways:

1. Personally, at the district bailiff's office.

2. Online via the Internet.

In order to find out the amount of the debt by the first method, you need to personally contact the bailiff department at the place of residence. You can find the address and other contact information on the website of the Federal Bailiff Service http://fssprus.ru/osp. You can read more about this in the article "How to find a bailiff".

In the district department of bailiffs, you can get a decision on the calculation of the debt by applying for it on the reception day with a document proving your identity. Only a participant in enforcement proceedings (a debtor, a recoverer, or a person acting on their behalf by proxy) has the right to receive such a decision.

There are several ways to check the child support debt online by last name.

1. Use the portal of public services of the Russian Federation https://www.gosuslugi.ru/10003

You will need to log in to the portal (a verified account on the public services portal is required), fill out an application electronically, wait for the application to be verified and registered, and receive response information in your personal account.

2. Use the Internet service to search for debts in the database of the Federal Bailiff Service of Russia https://oplata-fssp.ru, which contains all the debts of citizens to the FSSP of Russia. You only need to enter your last name, first name, patronymic, date of birth, and indicate the region in which you live.

Undoubtedly, this method is the most simple and convenient. You will receive information immediately after the results of the check in the "Data Bank of Enforcement Proceedings". An additional advantage of this method is that you can immediately pay off the debt discovered during the check.

3. If you know the number of the enforcement proceedings or the enforcement document, you can use them to find out the debt using the appropriate service on the FSSP website http://fssprus.ru/iss/ip.

In the "Data Bank of Enforcement Proceedings" on the site, it is also possible to search by the name of the debtor.

It is important to remember that the record of the debt in the "Data Bank of Enforcement Proceedings" of the FSSP will be deleted or changed (in case of incomplete repayment of part of the debt) within 3 - 7 days from the date of payment. Information about existing debts in newly initiated enforcement proceedings may also be entered into databases with a delay, so the presence of debts should be checked immediately before going abroad.

Restriction on leaving the Russian Federation is not the only trouble that can be encountered in the event of unfulfilled obligations on enforcement proceedings.
