<p>Simple, if NCP wanted to pay, he could. Easily. He goes to the NYS website for divorced parents with CS orders and inputs his checking account or employer info. Saying he is going to pay is ridiculous when he is this far behind.</p>
<p>^Did you even READ my post?</p>
<p>I did, Simplelife. Yes, he needs to write out how he intends to make up those back payments, particularly if he doesn’t have it to pay in a lump sum and state that he will be back on track and how. I recommend he do that via certified mail. I recommend he do what Kayf suggests and states what he is doing in his letter to both Jane and Sue so that there is no misunderstanding of intent and method of payment. But being a year and a half in arrears he is going to have to do this now and start paying right away too.</p>
<p>Yes simple, I did. Do you understand how many people are delinquent on CS and SAY they are going to pay? My read is I don’t even want to talk to this guy till he actually pays the CS. It is easy to do if he wants to. Then, guess what – its all on other parent. I am hoping that the mother goes to the finaid office and just says, yeah, this guy says blah blah but still not CS. He moved out of state.</p>
<p>I find it very difficult to beleive that anyone who has been divorced long enough to have 4 more kids does not understand that states can get involved in CS payments.</p>
<p>^Right, cpt. I totally agree.</p>
<p>@kayf, I don’t get it. I haven’t taken any issue with you or anybody else about child support – whether he could pay through NYS or not. I was merely addressing the OP about his stated concern – “is this fraud,” and what he should do about his alleged concern. Not arguing about whether or not he should be behind on child support (clearly, he shouldn’t) or whether or not he was logistically able to pay it.</p>
<p>Everything should be in writing. That’s my advice.</p>
<p>Simple, my point is that OPs assertion that he wanted to pay but other parent would not let him strains my belief. To tell him to put in writing that he intends to pay, when he could have, very easily, is imho, gaming the system. He could have paid. He chose not to.</p>
<p>Although it does not appear from this board, I would hope anyone dealing with Finaid for divorced people would know that states can arrange payment and that any “I wanted to pay but she wouldnt let me” is as bogus as it comes.</p>
