If I understand you correctly you are saying there is a court
order which garnishes your wages for child support. Once you are in
the system, it is very difficult to get out. I would suggest you should
call the DOR as soon as possible and explain you are changing jobs and ask
them what to do. Try to be polite and don't be antagonistic.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, PAY YOUR EX DIRECTLY. Pay the
DOR. And always mail it return receipt requested and keep a photocopy
everything. I suspect that each week until the garnishment kicks in
at your new job you need to send a check to the DOR. Be prepared for
them to mess it up.
From one of the forms:
"To pay your debt, mail this form with a check or money order payable
to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Write your Social Security number
on the check or money order to ensure that your account is properly
credited. Do not send cash. Mail your payment to:
Massachusetts Department of Revenue
Child Support Enforcement Division
Enforcement Bureau
141 Portland Street
Cambridge, Ma 02139-1912
617-727-4444 or within Massachusetts 1-800-332-2733 or
(I don't know if these numbers or the address still work)
CHANGE OF ADDRESS AND EMPLOYMENT
"You are required by law to notify DOR/CSE of changes in your address
or employment. Failure to do so may subject you to contempt of court and
will result in your no receiving timely notice of enforcement actions
taken by DOR/CSE."

| 210.2 | I don't think DOR is involved ?? | POWDML::MINEZZI | | Fri Feb 23 1996 16:20 | 20 |
| Hi,
Thanks for the response...
I don't pay the DOR now. I set it up so that my wages are sent
directly to my ex...she gets a digital check for the child support.
So I guess there really isn't a court order mandating it, we just
set it up that way in the divorce. Is there a way to find out if
the DOR is absolutely not involved?
If I remember correct we didn't want to involve the DOR. So I probably
shouldn't start, right? Also, if the DOR is NOT involved, can I
suggest different payment methods (ie direct transfer, personal check)?
The real wonder here, is I'm going to a company that doesn't even do
direct deposit, so I figure that they leave child support up to you...
Thanks for the information on the DOR.
Ron.

Go read the orders. Whatever they say, you must do. If there was no
mandate to involve DOR, then you don't. If there is no mandate to
pay through the registry of the court then you don't. If it is in the
orders that the CS will be automatically deducted and sent to your ex,
then that is what you have to do.

| If it un-mandated by the final decree. Also remember to watch out, for
someone will tell her to go for it and you WILL have your wadges
attached. It looks good for the local states to be able to go forth to
the fed and say, "See, we are efficint. We have all these possible
deadbeats paying thru us!" So the feds cut them a check for keeping you
in line and helps support the others on the welfare programs or helps
buy new computers and such to chase you down with if your a bad dad
sorta crap.
