People Are Raving About Athena

“I just received another $15,099 from the lien on my ex-husband's account. I received over $3,000 two weeks ago. Thank you!!!!!!!!!”

“This is REALLY helpful. This takes any roadblocks a parent may have and shows them the way to resolve whatever issue they may be experiencing. I love, love, LOVE it!!!!!"

“If you think you’ve run out of options and are hitting a brick wall, Athena offers lots of strategies (many you’ve probably never heard of) to attack the situation and explains the pros and cons of each. Their methods will help any custodial parent (either divorced or never married) that is tired of struggling to get by while the other parent ignores or evades their obligation to support their child.”

“YES!!! I collected $11,225 in back child support thanks to Athena.”

“ Very eye-opening. Athena helps you sort through the legal mess of whether you should use state child support enforcement to collect, or an attorney–or strike it out on your own. They make a great case for the latter, which is also a low budget option, but a solid one. They provide a lot of creative solutions for finding your ex and locating the money, or assets.”

“Athena is a much-needed breakthrough for parents who have child support arrears. Child support collection is a minefield that parents traverse when they attempt to collect what is due to them. Spence breaks down legal and complex information into a guide which any parent can follow and use to succeed. I recommend this service to everyone who has children and has a child support collection problem. “You will get your money”.”

Are you attorneys?

How Athena is different than lawyers

Is Athena a collection agency?

No, Athena is not a collection agency. Unlike collection agencies that take a large percentage of what they collect, we offer an affordable option for moms to find their ex, their ex’s assets, and take action on collecting what is rightfully theirs.

How Athena is different than collection agencies

Is Athena affiliated with Child Support Enforcement?

No, Athena is not Child Support Enforcement. We work with moms when Child Support Enforcement has proven to be too slow or ineffective in collecting their arrears.
