Child Support and Visitation Question?
My son's father hasn't paid anything for the baby since day one. He is 17 months old now and I should have filed sooner, however was too busy working two jobs and could never take the time off to make it to court to file. I am now on medical leave due to a surgery and am I looking into it. He has seen his child once since January of 2012 when he was four months old. I live in Nevada him in California. I know even through court order he probably will not pay so I know he can get driver's license taken away, wages garnishes, warrants etc. Will those warrants be in Nevada where the child lives or California where he lives and and advice or information.

You file in the state you live in.
You need your ex-'s social security number, date of birth, and hopefully you have his current address.
You will also need proof that he is the father, a birth certificate or DNA test.
Nevada will work with California to garnish your ex's wages.
He will be allowed 30 days to begin making payments. If he does not, they will take steps to suspend his drivers license. He will have 15-20 days before court to either pay or respond.
Warrants are for criminial cases. Child support is a civil case. He will not be arrested for not paying child support.
He can, however, be found in Contempt of Court for failure to follow a court order.

You go to the court file your back child support, the court will mail him a subpoena to be in court, if they don't show up the judge will order a bench warrant for his arrest, maybe he will send you the back child support. Good luck hope you get the back child support for your child.
