Enforcing Child Support Payments

 Posted on January 05, 2017 in Divorce

For many divorced parents, collecting unpaid child support is a problem. There are several steps that can be taken to collect unpaid child support, including intercepting the delinquent parent's tax refunds, attaching his or her wages, and seizing his or her bank account or other property.

A parent who owes child support usually will not be allowed by a court to get out of paying overdue amounts. However, he or she can ask a court to lower future payments.

Collecting unpaid child support can be difficult. Legal help can be obtained to use one of the above options for enforcing a child support payment or to learn about other options.
