Can custodial parent continue to text the non custodial parent that he needs to pay child support
Anonymous4 views2 answers
Child support is handled through child support services. The non custodial lost his job and has recently been able to only pay a minimal amount. Child support services suspends his license if a payment is not made, but he always pays what he has to to keep the license current (even if he needs to barrow) Non custodial recently asked for an evaluation of the child support because the only job he has been able to get is part time. Custodial parent continues to text saying that he needs to make child support payments, be responsible and quit lying. Daily texts. Is this harassment?
I am sorry that you are going through this. If there is not an order preventing this then the party may text until there is an order prohibiting such actions. If you feel that it is harrasing and that it has risen to a level that is unlawful then you may file a criminal complaint or you may go back to the family court and file a motion requesting that the texting cease. Take care.
It is an interesting question. You also phrase it very smart so as we as attorneys cant tell if you are the payor or payee. My advice would be the same but I am going to give it from the perspective of being to the payor who is receiving the texts. File a motion with the court to modify child support, that is done at DCSS. You will then also need to file a motion in family court that states the volume of the texts and that it hass become bothersome and harassing. I would then request an order that all non-emergency communications go through www.ourfamilywizard.com. Request that if the texts continue or there is non time sensitive contact/texts/calls that are done by any means other than through www.ourfamilywizard.com the court reserves the right to sanction the offending party. I think you are more likely to get the relief you seek with that sort of request than asking for a restraining order which your question seems to allude to.
