I would not agree to lowing his child support. Even if he is not paying you can be sure he will always be in the rears and you will get the money one way or another. If he is not paying he can lose his drivers licence if he has one. The child support can also take his incom taxes every year until he has caught up with his payments. The court does not care about his not working,they'll tell him to get a job. I would report that he is working under the table if you know who the person or company is that is paying him. It is illegal to pay anyone under the table. He can get in trouble with the IRS and the company to. He does not have to know you reported it but you have a family to support. I am surprized that child support would feel sorry for him but even if they do it is not up to them to decide what you should or shouldn't do. that is for the courts to decide. I would take him back to court would be my first step.

Is it possible to get decent child support enforcement if x-spouse has a "cash" job and reports no income and does not pay income taxes?
X-spouse is in arrears 3800.00 and has not paid support for over 6 months. Claims to have no income but is currently working for cash to avoid paying support. I am getting no state aid so I have limited child support enforcement. (State aid recipients get to court right away.)The local child support agency seems to be simpathetic to my x and wants me to wait until he gets a job (which will be never if he's working for cash) so I can make arrangements for him to pay less. His order currently is for 180.00 per month.

My x workd for "cash" therefore pays no income taxes and does not file any and has not for 3 years. I have already turned him in to the IRS but they didn't do anything to my knowledge. He doesn't work for a "company" that would otherwise pay people with a check. He works for a private small business which is also a personal friend of his, who tells the child support agency he does not work there. (Even though you can see him working on job sites and driving company vehicles.) I could take him back to court at my expense but why should I have to pay for it when the local child support agency is supposed to enforce collections?
