The Problem

Child support neglect has reached an all-time epidemic in the America, and the number of custodial parents not receiving adequate child support continues to rise.  According to the Separated Parenting Access and Resource Center (SPARC), 75% of the noncustodial parents that owe child support arrears, can afford to pay their arrears.  When the Office of Child Support Enforcement cannot collect child support arrears from a noncustodial parent, a custodial parent can file to obtain a Child Support Enforcement Order, which enables a noncustodial parent's assets to be levied, seized and liquidated to pay their arrears.  Most custodial parents owed child support arrears, cannot afford to retain an attorney to assist them in obtaining a Child Support Enforcement Order.

  

The Solution

To assist these parents, the Custodial Support Foundation provides custodial parents with a Collection Program, which includes investigative and legal services to obtain a Child Support Enforcement Order, in addition to collection services to pay their arrears.  Once an Enforcement Order is obtained by a custodial parent, the Custodial Support Foundation's collection agency will  levy, seize and liquidate a noncustodial parent's assets, pay their arrears, and collect any fees required to obtain the Enforcement Order.  The collected child support is paid to their account at Office of Child Support Enforcement, and the collected fees are refunded to the custodial parent.

The Custodial Support Foundation now produces the Custodial Support Forum, which is a weekly television workshop that addresses the many problems related to child support within America and provides solutions to those problems.  The Custodial Support Forum is hosted by Kai Patterson, who is the Founder of the Custodial Support Foundation.  The show is also Co-Hosted by Attorney Alex Stremler, Esq., who is a Family Law Attorney with more than 19 years dealing with child support cases, and Attorney Benjamin G. Kelsen, JMC, who is a Municipal Court Judge, as well as a Criminal Attorney.  The Custodial Support Forum, is produced with the support of Cablevision and airs on Cablevision's Public Access Network on Channel 19 in Essex County, New Jersey.   Each Custodial Support Forum Episode can also be seen on the Custodial Support Foundation's Website, and  YouTube.

Custodial Support Foundation Programs to Assist Parents

The Filing Program was created by the Custodial Support Foundation to provide free step-by-step to instructions, and filing locations to obtain a Child Support Order.  If a custodial parent is unable to locate a noncustodial parent to obtain a Child Support Order, the Custodial Support Foundation enables custodial parents to receive Investigative Services to determine the location, assets and income of noncustodial parents.  This service enables the Office of Child Support Enforcement to notify noncustodial parents of their required court dates, which is required to enable custodial parents to receive a child support order.

The Collection Program was  created by the Custodial Support Foundation to enable the more than 12.5 million custodial parents owed child support arrears, to obtain a Child Support Enforcement Order.  Enforcement Orders enable the assets of noncustodial parents to be levied, seized and liquidated to pay their child support arrears.  The program provides custodial parents with investigative services, to determine a noncustodial parent's location, income and assets.  The program also provides custodial parents attorneys to file their Motions to obtain Child Support Enforcement Orders and the services of a collection agency, once enforcement orders have been obtained.

The Amnesty Program was created by the Custodial Support Foundation to assist noncustodial parents that owe child support to establish settlements to repay their arrears.  The program provides legal and collection services to enable noncustodial parents to establish settlement agreements to pay their arrears, suspend their arrest warrants, restore their licenses, restore their passports and stop income tax levies for the nonpayment of child support.  Episode 7 of the Custodial Support Forum will address issues related to noncustodial parents that owe child support arrears and need assistance in establishing settlement agreements.  The episode will enable Custodial Parent Antoinette Dismukes to address issues raised by noncustodial parents relating to the fairness of the child support system to noncustodial parents, and specifically noncustodial fathers.
