Do you have an open case with child support? I would first call the IRS and asked them WHO intercepted....then call whoever that is and ask why? and how to close the case so this wont happen again. Do you know how much more they are trying to collect?

Well I did call CSE and told them the situation and I was amazed to receive a letter requesting the court documents showing I have custody so they can close the case and stop enforcing.  That is great news but what I want to know is how I can try and get the taxes that were erroneously garnished from me.  I'm so mad that they took that money I needed that money for my kids.

She is just now at a point where I feel she is well enough to have visitation.  She has been clean for awhile but prior to this there was very little contact.  I have an agreement with her that she pay 75 dollars a week for the kids and if she keeps her end up and stays clean she gets them every other weekened. I have not felt the need to file against her yet.

The mother is not getting the money it is the state getting it for when they supported the children before.  I wondering if since I have custody and can prove hardship (life is not easy financially these days) if the state will relinquish their claim and return my tax money to me.  I thought they were there to HELP families.

I got custody from a judge.  The kids were in the custody of DFACS and I had to go through the process of getting them.  When their mother lost custody of them to the state, I had to go through getting legitimized before I could apply for custody.  She and I were never legally married and in Georgia that gave me no rights.  While the kids were in DFACS custody (twice) DFACS filed against me for child support.  Once I got custody they came after me for arrears.  They did not know I had been granted custody so when tax time came along they took ALL of my return.  By this time I was already the court awarded custodial parent.  I am just wondering if it is within my right to ask for my money back.

Wow!  My boyfriend (This is his account- I was just reading)  has full custody of his kids and let me tell you something, they are his WORLD!  Their mother is a meth head who has lost her kids to the state, over and over!  If anyone was the donor in this case I think we could safely call HER an egg donor!  You really should not generalize about Dads because there are a lot of great fathers that would die for their kids.  Also, these kids will defend their mother to the end.  They love her.  They cannot see her mistakes.  Yes it is true kids are bonded to bad mothers as well as good mothers.  I can tell you this though, if asked where they would rather live they will quickly tell you, "With Daddy".  They know this is where they are safe.

[non-custodial]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has info on how I can ask child support enforcement to give me my tax money back?  I received full custody of my 3 kids in 2008 and this past tax refund was garnished because they were not aware that I had custody.  I responded and let them know that I was requesting a hearing and never heard back from them.  Now I have read on their website:


Federal Law 303.72 gives Child Support Services the authority to intercept non-custodial parents' taxes if the case meets established criteria.


Does this mean that they did not have the right to take my tax money if I was infact the custodial parent at the time? I did receive a letter from them asking me to provide the court order so they can close the case and stop enforcing it.  Wouldn't this also mean that I should be entitled to the tax money they kept?  If anyone can help guide me in the right direction me and my three kids would really appreciate it.
