Obviously there has been alot of responses to your question. My Ex-Husband is an active duty officer that would not pay his child support for his three children. After several months, I called DFAS directly, faxed my divorce papers, and they immediately garnished his wages. I received my first child support payment within one month. They would not give me back pay for the previous months. Hope this helps. It took me all of 10 minutes and a fax machine and my problem was solved. Good Luck!

Good advise, Brandy.

One of the officers I worked with, a CPT, wasn't paying child support ever since the divorce. The command found out, set up payments, & promptly passed him over for promotion with a counselling statement in his record as well as a poor OER.

The sad part of it was his wife came up to me in the PX after having recognized me. I felt on the spot big time, me being a MSG & he an officer but I told her to go to the command, the JAG, the Chaplain until she found someone who would act.

I don't think the @sshole CPT was allowed to get his 20 in. There's no way that OER couldn't follow him through his career.
