If your Federally Guaranteed student loans go into default status, you could lose your GI bill benefits altogether. Once student loans are in default, you are inelligible for any other type of government help.

You should consolidate your student loans and prevent any of this from happening. You can get an income-based repayment plan and pay as little as $0 a month, depending on your income and dependants.

If you have an outstanding debt to the US Army, they may recover it by nearly any means necessary. If you are receiving benefits under the GI Bill, and depositing this in a bank, then, yes, the US government can attach your assets to recover the debt.

Can you bring a lawsuit against the mother for past child support you paid if you find out the child is not yours?

Yes, you can file a civil suit. But it is hard to win. The law is not on the mans side. Actually it depends on the state. In fact, in Oregon they are trying to pass a paternity fraud bill that allows the man to stop payment if he finds out the child isn't his without a time frame. Right now the period of time to challenge paternity is 1 year. Sorry to say, but this bill does not allow the father to sue for child support already paid, but will eliminate past due child support, and the courts may continue his visitation with child in the case that he still wants it. Ohio on the other hand, I believe, allows for him to sue for that paid money. Check the laws in your state. in the majority of states you wouldn't get any money back after paying child support

Does the father have the right to know where child support is going in Illinois?

No. Sad but true. The parent receiving the support does not have to provide proof of how it is being spent. Child support is in place to help house, feed, clothe and educate the child. If it pays an electric bill, then that is what it pays.

Can the state take your tax return if you owe back child support but are making payments?

Yes. The government has become acutely aware of the problem of children living in poverty because a parent is not paying child support. Therefore, very strong laws have been passed to help collect arrears and states have been given wide ranging powers to collect arrears. Each state is required to maintain agencies for child support enforcement. You can review the laws and programs in your state at the related link. If you have child support arrears your tax return can be intercepted if the custodial parent requests assistance from your state child support enforcement agency, or by the state if the state is paying family benefits. You should realize that child support is intended to help with the day to day costs of supporting a child. It's not simply a bill, like a credit card bill, that you can make small payments on until it's paid years later. If you have money coming in it can be redirected toward your arrears to provide immediate support for the child.
