DH is in arrears our accounts

[Anonymous]

Can the state seize accounts held jointly? DH is in arrears or will be shortly.

Are these child support arrears? If they're for your child, why do you still have joint accounts? If they're for his child from before, why did you marry such a useless cad?

His child from a prior relationship. It's complicated. Will they seize joint accounts or just a percentage

I wouldn't think so bc they aren't owned only by him.

Easy answer: pay up.

Depends on the state. In California, I'm pretty sure joint assets are fair game. My sister hasn't married her BF, because he has 3 kids and an ex who would instantly take him to court, because my sister makes 5 times what he does.

It's too bad they don't. Sad his kid doesn't get the support they deserve because your husband is scum.

Unless you are both 100% destitute, please pay up. I see kids in my classroom suffering because NCP and new spouse are playing games with the CS.
If you are truly unable to pay, go back to court and request a modification.

I *think* they can seize anything his name is on, and rightly so.

You don't say why he is in arrears. If it's true financial hardship, can he not ask for a variance order?

So you think he shouldn't have to pay because you want more kids?

Disgusting.

Why does he want more kids when he can't honor his obligation to the one(s) he already has?

When a young working class man does this, we call him irresponsible.

This is awful. I have no idea the answer to your question, but I hope his child is able to get his or her support from your joint accounts. Poor poor child. I feel sorry for your future children too. You will probably be in the same situation one day, if karma has any say in it.
