    Maureen Foley (she has resumed her maiden name) and Richard Turrow were divorced in 2006 in Idaho, following ten years of marriage. At the time of the divorce, the couple had two children, Colin and Tyler, ages 4 and 6, and the court awarded joint legal custody to both parties and physical custody of both children to Maureen. Richard was ordered to pay $450/month in child support for both children. At the time of this order, Richard made approximately $25,000 a year, and Maureen made $14,000 a year.

    This booklet is a product of my own past experience in the judgment recovery industry. This manual only contains my own personal tips and proven methods based on years of experience as a judgment recovery specialist. While this material is designed to assist you in the recovery of court awarded judgments, we do not present this material as legal advise. It must be pointed out that there may be circumstances that may prevent any monetary recovery in any judgment recovery endeavor. A few examples of these are bankruptcy, unemployment, child support and below poverty level, among others. This is what is known in the business as “Judgment Proof.” The fact that these circumstances due exist, they may, and in most instances, will prevent you from collecting on your judgments. Because of this we do not make any guarantees that your judgment recovery efforts will be successful with each and every case. We are not, nor do we pretend to be, a law firm. We are not in the business of giving legal advice. Nor are we advocating a lawyer, client relation. If legal advice is what you seek we strongly suggest that you contact an attorney.

    The topic of child support and how the funds are allocated can become a very debatable topic. The way child support works in most states is that if the custodial parent (the parent the child lives with) receives Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) the child support paid by the non-custodial parent goes towards paying the state back. Some feel that the state should not try to recoup the money. Others feel that by the state taking the child support payments, it takes away from the custodial parent and still leaves the single parent with the burden to take care of the child alone. I disagree with this argument. I feel that the state should be paid back for TANF benefits awarded and garnishing child support payments may be the easiest way to receive payment.…

    The current welfare program: Temporary Aid to Needy Families, requires custodial parents applying for benefits to help the government to establish the obligations of paying child support against the parents that are absent, to eventually sue them, and to simultaneously give the government the right to collect those funds from the non-custodial parent, following the regulations. This system of welfare cost recovery is a side of child support that is largely unknown to the public (Ronald B. Mincy). People can easily see that when a trucker’s license is suspended, he cannot work; when a laborer’s wages are garnished at sixty-five percent, he cannot afford to pay his own rent. In a further development, Ronald states that fathers could obtain a new job and then lose it after being incarcerated for contempt because of his child support arrearages, and the relationships between the mothers and fathers, fragile at their beginnings, can be obliterated through the process. As clear as the child support issues could be, the hopes of children to have fathers who are supportive and involved in their lives are often dissolved. A real and deep work needs to be done so that the system stop harming children, fathers, mothers, as well as the government.…
