Can anyone help me out with any information about how I go about collecting child support from my daughter's father. He is in the Army stationed at Fort Hood Texas. We were never married but he is on her birthcertificate and I have noterized papers he signed agreeing to pay monthly. He paid for a year and then stopped paying. Can anyone give me a number to call or any help at all.. Thank You

Hello,

I would contact his unit, the commander, normally that should take care of it. I'm sure you tried to contact him and ask what the problem was, right? No matter, he has to pay child support.

Good Luck to you

USArmywidow is correct. If that doesn't work, you can try other routes. The Office of the Staff Judge Advocate (legal route), the Military Personnel Office may be able to help, or Finance may be able to point you in the right direction. Bear in mind that with the hurricane relief efforts and the obligations in the Middle East, the paperwork may take more time to go through, so be patient. He will be obligated to pay back-payments, and his LES will be subject to these deductions. So when this all gets straightened out, he will not have a choice but to pay you. The army will deduct it for him, and he'll never see the money.
