[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 259126, member: 7083"] In my case, K, there was nothing legal drawn up for several months. I moved out on 5 paychecks which covered deposit, first months rents, utilities turned on, and groceries to fully stock a kitchen. I didn't have the money for several months to get an attorney. As soon as I had the money, the first thing done was the child support order. In Ohio, all child support orders are wage garnishments and they go through CSEA from the beginning. If child support is paid without going through CSEA, Ohio does not recognize it as such. Georgia was different and the non-custodial parent had to be in arrears before child support enforcement would get involved. I don't know if that's changed. Visitation is a completely separate order and is not part of CSEA's scope. I agree that visitation should not be withheld because of lack of child support payment. That is just punishing the child. However, some states have abandoment laws and if the non-custodial parent does not provide food, shelter or clothing for a specified period of time (Georgia was 30 days) a bench warrant could be issued. I'm not aware of Ohio having such a law, but things could have changed. [/QUOTE]
