My boyfriend's ex passed away last year in April; Ever since then, his child has been living with him. Although, he went to the child support offices to bring proof of death certificate, the child support offices in Miami keep on harrassing him, threatening him to cancell his license, take away his tax incomes if he does not pay for child support; He went several times to their offices, call their offices, one of them, told him the case was closed, and while, several of those offices are still threatening him. He even receives an official letter from their Tallahassee offices about their plans to cancel his license, and take away his tax refunds, to keep him from traveling out of the country. Why can't their offices communicate with each and find the truth and realize that they are in the wrong? This is turning into fraud, and harrassment: collecting money from him to give to nobody since the child's mother is dead, and the child lives with him; This is harrassment since he's having health issue because of the stress that those threatening letters are doing to him.

Still have not recieved anything. It's been over a year. My kids father has yet to even recieve a paper saying I was taking him for child support!!!! Everytime I call they say mam your case is still processing, really ? How long does a case take to process in this damn state ????? My kids will have a sucky Xmas this year and I only could afford 1 outfit for the beginning of the school year. I work 2 part time jobs because knowone wants to hire full time, I barely get to see my kids due to this. Like where's my break ???? I try so hard and I just can't catch any lucky :(

Well I have been fighting with them for four years now. I pay $1, 900 for which my ex wife does not work and was able to buy her new husband. Her new husband would not have touch her until he found out how much child support she gets each month. Now he wants a new truck so how do you go about doing that, ask the Department of Revenue to get more money from the father. Get this, the ex withholds the children from the father, then counts those extra days as part of her percentage of time so that gives her more money. So the State of Florida has established a system where one parent can withhold the children from the other parent and be rewarded with more money. Her and her new husband sits by their pool drinking beer waiting for the first of each month where the Department of Revenue takes the money and sends it directly into her account for her and her husbands use. Child support, does not exist, just converted it into Alimony. Bonus news, she has a college degree and has never worked. She does make sure that the children are shipped off to school each day so they don't interfere with daily activities. Yes a very just system.

I think that the Child Support office needs to be investigated to make sure that they are doing there job, and have everyones files done the right way. My finance was paying child support a couple years ago and now since November 22, 2007 the judge signed the final judgement stating that neither party pays child support, but yet they are still to this day taking money from him, and he took the final judgement into the child support office, and let them make a copy of it to have on file, and they are still saying that it's not closed yet, and here we are 2years later and they are still taking his money, I mean to be honest we get our own place, or get married because they keep taking his money everything time when they are not suppose to. He has been told that he is to wait for a court date before he can find out of whether or not he can get his money back, because child support office is saying that they were taking it, because he was behind on his child support, but the thing was he wasn't suppose to be paying anything period, so that shouldn't keep saying that he is behind or still owes them money because he doesn't, and we have told them that they don't want to get a lawsuit against them, because to be honest they are with the State of Florida, and my family has put a lawsuit against the
State of Florida once before and I have told them that we wouldn't mind doing it again, except this time is will be for more money them last time, because really it's harrassment, and sexest that they keep taking his money and won't leave it alone, not only that they are telling us that we won't get a court date until 6months-to a year, and I think that is really uncalled for. We have been waiting and I think we should of already had a court date by now. I hope someone does something soon, because I would hate to see State of Florida and the Child Support Office get another lawsuit, because they can't do there job right.

I have never been so diapointed in the florida child support office in my life until about a month ago. If tyhe father does not pay he gets licesen taken goes to jail, but what about them paying it and the mother not receiving it. I have been waiting for 2 months now and still waiting for 9 payments that I usaully get every week. I am about to get my lights cut off my son needs to eat rent and other bills about due. I have called and went there several times where it has taken me from work to see what is going on and none of them can answer a question. I feel like they are taking the money and not giving it to the correct person. I am a working mother thast works monday thru saturday have one day off and I feel like I need to keep on them to do there job. I dont receive public assistants for any help. I feel like florida child support office in osceola county needs to pull there heads out there ass. I will not just stop here you will keep hearing from me until you do your job.
