Asking Your Elected Officials to Intercede

    If you are not yet ready to represent yourself in child support proceedings, or if you have been unsuccessful in dealing with state CSE agencies, you can ask your elected officials to look into your case for you. Please note that legislators are unable to help you with legal proceedings, but they are able to intercede for you with state and federal agencies to see that the appropriate measures are being taken for your situation. Although it is not a guarantee that your problems with an agency will be resolved, it is something you should do. Often, you'll notice a renewed interest in your case as a result of the legislator's inquiry.

    Once you've located the correct legislator, write to them about your problems with the enforcment of child support. Each office ought to have a "Constituent Services" contact. Outline in detail your enforcement difficulties and concerns, and give all the information you possibly can about the current status of your case. You'll need to have a case number in your letter, and be sure to attach a signed and dated Authorization for Release of Information. Do not email the letter and release. A signature is required in order for the inquiry to commence. Generally, you can fax both, but old-fashioned mail might be the best, since you will be transmitting your Social Security Number with the release. A general form for such a release can be found here, and you are welcome to print and use it for your purposes.
