Child Support
Enforcement of a child support order can be a difficult and frustrating task. Sparks Integrative Family Law works with clients every day to ensure that they receive the support they need for their children. There are several different legal remedies available to a parent who is having trouble collecting court-ordered child support payments:
- When child support is a court-ordered obligation, a person who willfully fails to pay may be held in contempt of court. This means that she or he would be brought into court during a contempt hearing to face possible fines and jail time.
- The court may issue a wage assignment order that requires an employer to withhold child support directly from the employee’s paycheck.
- If the person paying child support contests the amount of child support that you are owed, a court hearing may be held to determine exactly how much child support is due.
In order to have the best chance to recover all past due child support you are owed, you need a child support enforcement attorney with the knowledge and resources to effectively handle your case. Contact us to discuss how you can enforce your child support order and start receiving payments soon.
