5 Potential Lawsuits You Can File Against The Child Support Agency

Today, we're revealing 5 potential lawsuits you can file against the child support agency. Here's who you can sue. The Department of Motor Vehicles, support magistrates and quasi judges, police officers, sheriffs, social workers, and even your employer. Let's delve into how you can take action. To file a lawsuit against the child support agency and its staff, you could use Title 18 USC, Section 242.

This statute states that anyone operating under the color of law or statutes can be sued in a court of law. Let's get into the potential lawsuits.

First, the Department of Motor Vehicles. Under 22 CFR 5170, child support agencies often automatically suspend driver's licenses for non payment, which can violate due process. The Cavitus versus Department of Motor Vehicles case in New Jersey decided in January 2019 ruled that such suspensions violate due process and fundamental fairness. This case can serve as a template for your lawsuit if you've lost your license due to non payment.

2nd, support magistrates and quasi judges. Support magistrates under New York law 20532 are non judicial officers who are not licensed accountants, tax preparers, or financial advisors. This raises the question of their ability to conduct financial calculations judicially. Cases like Owen V's City of Independence and Ex Parte Young, suggest that 11th amendment immunity does not apply to them.

3rd, law enforcement and warrants. Police officers, sheriffs, and other law enforcement personnel can be sued under Title 42 if they act on warrants that do not meet constitutional requirements as established in Peyton versus New York and Manel versus Department of Social Services.

4th, social workers and health workers. Social and health workers contracted by child support agencies under 45 CFR 75 point Sparks and Pennsylvania Vers board of directors support the right to bring action against these private actors.

Finally, your employer. Employers who perform income withholding under 45 CFR 303.100 and receive fees for this service can be taken to court if they fail to disclose these fees or provide an opportunity for rebuttal. Luger v. Edmondson Oil supports bringing a private action against them.

These lawsuits can hold various actors accountable and protect your civil rights. Don't let the complexities of the child support system intimidate you.

Equip yourself with knowledge and take action. Remember, you have the power to challenge unjust practices and seek justice. Stay informed, stay empowered.
