Here in the U.S. we have state agencies to help the custodial parent collect child support. There are also private agencies that will collect it for you for a fee, generally a percentage of the amount owed. Go to your local governmental agency and ask them to help you collect this money. If possible, have the funds deducted automatically from his paycheck, sent through the agency, and delivered to you. I ve talked about this income second because it is often very hard to collect regularly.
Many men change jobs, move, and do a variety of things to avoid payment.
Realistically, you can t depend on it. Whether that is right, wrong, or fair doesn t matter. It is a reality of life as a single mom. Don t sit at home, as many of the women I know do, waiting for money that just isn t coming.
