I received an email from a reader who said that she got pregnant by someone that she later found out was an illegal alien. She is now wondering if it's possible for her to force him to pay child support.
I am wondering if you have any information about getting child support from someone whos status is not of legal status.
I recently had a baby by someone, who I found out later, does not have legal status. He is not taking responsibility for the child, and I am having a hard time knowing what to do.
I'm not going to lecture her.
I don't have the answer to this, but I'm guessing that she's out of luck. It's hard enough to get the government to find and deport illegal aliens. Finding one and forcing him to pay child support, I would think, would be 10 times harder to do.
Does anyone out there with experience have an answer to this?
i have a baby by an illegal alien. i was conned by him into having a baby with him because i thought he loved me. all he wanted from me was papers. well he figured out that i was never gonna marry him and he left me for some other dumb girl so now they are married. he wanted to get rights to see my child. but he hasn't given me a cent. so i don't let him see my child. payback.

Yes she can file for child support. I am in the same situation and I filed and receive support most of the time. A non-custodial parent's immigration status has nothing to do with paying child support. Even if they say they don't have a job they can set a minimum amount for them to pay.

since I'm going through this as well let me tell what's happening for me
I filed a case gave them as much information as I could numbers I have and gave them pictures. I don't have an adress for him because be won't give it to me. But I'm still recieving child support and my case worker told me ounce they find him he will be given a court date if he fails to apperar he will be given a warrant but either way this in his name he will be denied if he ever trys to get papers and his chances of ever finding work are slim to none
But he comes and sees me and my son and don't even know I have this on him boy Is he going to be pissed when he finds out

I have a 2 yr old son with an illegal. You can get child support but because of the illegal status its way harder to enforce it since many work for cash under the table. Uhm. And as far as visitation goes.. I am going through hell with that right now. Illegals do have the right to see their child(ren) and from what I've been through so far, the whole flight risk thing is not really even considered. And even if child support is not paid, they still have the legal right to see the child(ren). Is that crazy or what! Illegal Immigrants have LEGAL rights... seems a little bogus to me... I really wish no one would ever have to go through this because it seems that the child(ren) and the citizen parent are the ones who lose out....

I'm in the same situation. We were going to get married but I guess he find out getting papers was not so easy like back then. We broke up. He didn't want to help me with anything so I told him to get away from my daughter, and he did. Wow, how could he give up if he said he loved her so much. There is no day she doesn't ask for him. That makes me feel so angry, so I'm going to do anything to make this "person", a real man...

U.S. citizens if the illegals are working the system you have to work the system to your favor also. if the illegals arent paying the court order child support than take them to court. the judge will eventually get tired of seeing them and start putting them in jail. either they will get tired of going to jail and start paying something or they will continue to goto jail. if they cant pay the child support then they cant get custody of the child also because presumably they dont have money. just take them to court. you dont need a lawyer and he will goto jail. some people get 3 months in jail after a while. you think they wont get tired of that!!! anyways what else can you do? just start taking to court.

I am so pissed right now!I have a 9 year old son for an illegal,well I think he is.I just told my son who his real father is only because his real fathers family kept sneaking ways to tell my son.His real father when I broke it off with him stalked us for years.I cant get police help either.I find out later he is married to his illegal wife and has 7 children.I have moved several times and he still finds me.So I decided to write him and give him a chance to come see his son although my husband raised him.Now his illegal wife and kids are calling saying he's in Mexico and to leave their daddy alone.If you the damn stalking he has done.After reading some of these post I know now what i need to do.I'm reporting him and his family.If he ever ran off with my baby I would go crazy.Thanks for these post and ladies please be careful!!!!

I am the wife of a illegal. He has been the most wonderful husband. He did not marry me for his papers as it is a well known fact you cannot get your papers just because you get married. He had a little girl from a old girlfriend. He has always paid his support and he does anything she asks because she is always blackmailing him with having him deported. She uses that little girl against him like I have never seen before. It is so sad. The worst thing about it is the little girl doesn't even live with her. She lives with other family members. She collects the money always complaining it isn't enough. She lets him see her on her terms only. This little girl is going to grow up and realize what's been done to her father and her mother will be the one to pay the price for these games in the end. Anyway the point I am trying to make is that when you get with a man who doesn't have his papers you are well aware of the fact he is illegal. You as a woman are making a choice to proceed in a relationship with him. You are responsible for your choices. Just because it doesn't work out doesn't give you all the power to run over top of them. Look at your child they are not all American. They will grow up and ask questions. If he is a looser then so be it but if its you just wanting your way in everything because U have the upper hand you will be the one who has to answer to your child and God someday.

My sister is having this exact problem. I think the system needs to stop blaming the women and work on making ALL fathers pay their child support, citizens or no. The attitude at the child support office seems to be, "Well, you shoulda thunk of that before you spread your legs for an illegal." Sound familiar? Indeed, if you only replace the word "illegal" with "man."
I admit that it is difficult to track a man down when he lives off the grid, as many illegal immigrants do. They don't have valid Social Security numbers, they use multiple identities, and they often work "under the table" to avoid detection and taxation. However, the sad fact is that most of the women who've been wronged know where to find these men, but pointing them out does no good. The authorities just shrug and say, "What do you want us to do about it?"
Of course, we wouldn't be having this problem at all if we started ENFORCING our border laws to begin with. This is what comes of looking the other way and allowing an entire subculture to live outside the law. Is it any wonder that they have no respect for our values and system?

The United States has a Federal New Hire law that all employers have to report the hiring of their new employers to Health and Family Services. Each state has to do this. Unfortunately when the illegal alien has filed out the W4 for withholding taxes, the illegal alien uses a made up, stolen or SSN bought on the streets. The employer has to send the W4 information to Health and Family Services. The SSA will validate the income information only if the SSN really matches the person's name and SSN. If not the SSA will not send notices of invalid matches. There is the NDNH that keeps a national data base of new hires but not unverified individuals using someone else's SSN. I guess if the American citizen caught on that if they do not have to give the employer a SSN to be hired, and only have to put any SSN on a W4 for withholding, they could receive a W2 with their real name and a made up or purchased SSN on it. The American citizen could then use the W2 to open a checking and savings, or obtain credit. This would allow them to develop "synthetic" credit reports. It would be important to note that one would have to make sure they had a change of address, other than the one they original had with their "real" SSN. If you work with a SSN that is not yours, and don't file income taxes, I wonder if the IRS will come after you? I wonder if you work with a SSN not yours, and apply for an ITIN number to file income tax returns if you could avoid child support being taken from your income tax refunds??? I wonder if you work two jobs and use two different SSN numbers if you could apply for an ITIN from the IRS and file income tax returns twice?? This of course would be really interesting if you were an illegal alien, with a legal spouse and had 6 children born here in the United States, I guess you could claim the additional child credits. I guess the way the IRS laws currently are, you could work with s different SSN for different employers for many years. Then when you want to retire or become disabled, just go to your SSA office and use Form SS-5 to report all the years of errors. Since the IRS and SSA make claim that they cannot inform the real citizens that someone is working with their SSN numbers under the U.S.Privacy Laws and Tax Code 6103. The DOJ we were told does not investigate illegal aliens working with our SSN, applying for ITINS, and attaching a W2 with a no-name match SSN to it. I wonder if the AMERICAN citizen could be charged under federal law of representing themselves as an illegal alien, or resident alien with the IRS???? I am not recommending that any taxpayer avoid paying or filing income taxes, I am just saying that it appears the IRS and especially Congress just doesn't want to stop the employment of illegal aliens and stop them from using our SSN numbers. So I guess the illegal alien is going to be hard to collect child support from. UMMM, all the rights and privileges and they don't have to follow our laws. THINK ABOUT IT...

I had my son at 15 from an undocumented fellow and now my son is 16 years old and I have not received one check from Child Support (even after it went through the courts) nor from him (where ever he is), nor do I ever want one. First of all how, he does not have a SS#, how will ANYONE know who he is here in the states other then his name, let alone be able to work under their real names and pay childsupport. REMEMBER LADIES, In order to pay child support it has to come out of the jobs that they hold by filing it with the states under there ss#, NOW IF HE DON'T HAVE ONE(ss#), what can he file, NOTHING. In the second place, that would mean he would be liable to some sort of rights, if he would pay. So for me I'm better off with out his money, I work for my child and want the best for them, with or without a man. I keep my head held high and show my son that ----III love him and that I am his Mother and Father...But if one day he would ever pay I think i'm at around $90,000 owed last time i called and checked...SO your answer to your ? IS YOU CAN FILE AND GO THROUGH THE COURTS SET HIM UP FOR CHILD SUPPORT BUT IF HE IS JUST A JOHN DOE NAME WITHOUT A SS#, HE WILL BE UNABLE TO FIND. UR OUT OF LUCK...THAT LIFE, UNLESS THE ALLEGED FATHER MAKES CASH PAYMENTS TO CS BUT BUT THATS RARLEY HAPPENS.
